[dead horses] Why Are You Doing This To Us, Dick Wolf?

[stopitsomemore]

So I'm not going to lie, my first reaction when I saw this post on Gawker talking about how they've cast Skeet "I'm Highly Susceptible to Peer Pressure" Ulrich as a lead for Law & Order: LA was basically to scream, "WHY GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?"

Then I read further and realized his character's name is going to be Rex Winter. Which Richard Lawson wisely pointed out make him sound like a gay porn star with a heart of gold and a dirrrrrty Treasure Island bareback 20-load weekend past -- alternately, had they wanted the heterosexual interpretation of that, they could have named him Rex Pussy, at which point I would have called Digital Playground to let them know there was probably some copyright infringement going on.

In conclusion, they're making more Law & Order. AND WE HAD JUST SUCCESSFULLY KILLED ONE OFF.
