News Atlanta's crime problem gets French TV treatment

Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 3:51 PM

Everyone wants to know! Quel scandale!

We hope our fellow freedom-loving friends across the Atlantic will be enchanted by the depiction of our grand city. Crime, bum bots, and hella guns. Creative Loafing also plays a role. "Jay-sohn," the civilian patroller interviewed in the report, is CL's senior art director. Hat tip to SpaceyG for finding the video.

Wheatley is already a Cylon. This is how he is able to attend and report on simultaneous meetings and events. I agree it would be a good idea to crank out a few more copies, though.
