What is up with the Furry Posts? I just saw the infamous furry episode of CSI on DVD and it brought this particular subgenre of fandom to mind. The Las Vegas Crime Scene Investigators have to figure out how a man in a cute racoon suit ended up dead and they descend into an oddly dark little corner of fictional furry fandom to find out what actually happened. I wanna make it with Sexy Kitty too. But only in the costume of course.
I believe that brilliant writer Jerry Stahl is largely responsible for this bit of furry depravity being on CSI. Jerry Stahl is probably best known for the movie Permanent Midnight which was based on his autobiographical account of his battles with heroin and addiction. He also wrote the science fiction porn cult classic Cafe Flesh under the name Herbert W. Day.
I love when a great TV show like this comes out on DVD because I get to enjoy it without all the scheduling nuisances of regular television. This particular episode of CSI is called Fur and Loathing in Las Vegas which is pretty much the wittiest name ever for a show like that. I heartily recommend picking up the CSI – Fourth Season DVD which includes Fur and Loathing in Las Vegas.
CSI – the Complete First Season,
CSI – Season 2, and
CSI – Crime Scene Investigation, The Complete Third Season are also all available now on DVD. I went with the econo option and just bought
the complete box set with all four seasons of all the existing episodes on DVD.
