Forensic Files is one of my favorite television programs. I appreciate the deep dives into details and science. I am also impressed by the unwavering perseverance of the investigators.
While binge watching a pile of
episodes from the 1990s, I observed something curious. A majority of the prosecutors featured appear
to be wearing toupees. Sometimes, poorly
fitted toupees.
This has become a distraction
for me.
Why are the prosecutors wearing
fake hair?
Is that a thing?
I am reminded of another weird
hair element from the 1990s. During the
long Montana Freeman standoff in 1996, I noticed two weird details when
reporters interviewed locals from Jordon, Montana. First, if they were standing outside, you
could hear geese in honking in flights overhead. Secondly, all the local men had horrible
haircuts.
I mentioned this to my sister,
Deb. “Have you seen their hair? They must all go to the same bad barber. Check it out when you watch the news.”
My sister called me sometime
later. “You’re right. Their hair is awful! I didn’t notice before.”
“It’s crazy,” I said. “Now that I noticed, I don’t pay attention to
anything else.”
