Last night at dinner, my brother-- who lives in Hamilton, New Jersey-- told us about a terrible, horrible, awful child pornography case that happened in his town: a police officer and his wife, a Mercer County Sheriff’s Sergeant, were arrested for allegedly making videos where they had sex and their young children, drugged and naked, watched them and were also included in these videos-- disturbing, disgusting stuff-- and these two are now on house arrest, awaiting trial, because they were not safe in jail-- and while I was completely unsettled by this story, and the depravity of which humans are capable, I also could not help thinking about the fabulously surreal and hysterically funny dream that Ashley Schaeffer (Will Ferrell) recounts in Eastbound and Down, which ends with him commanding his wife to "let the boy watch."
