Bowling for Columbine

1:08:01
- Look "liberal" up
in the dictionary

1:08:03
and I think my picture's
in there somewhere,

1:08:05
- So then, you know, why not be
compelled to do, you know,

1:08:10
a show that focuses on, you
know, what's causing the crime,

1:08:15
as opposed to just chasing
the criminals down?

1:08:18
- Because I think it's harder
to do that show.

1:08:20
I don't know what
that show would be.

1:08:22
Anger does well, hate does
well, violence does well.

1:08:24
Tolerance and understanding
and trying to learn to be

1:08:27
a little different than you were
last year does less well.

1:08:30
- Does less well in the ratings.
- Oh yeah.

1:08:32
- Maybe because we,
in the television business,

1:08:35
because we tend to demonize
black and Hispanic people,

1:08:39
then those watching it at home
are going:

1:08:41
"I don't want to help
those people.

1:08:43
I'm not going to do anything
to help them.

1:08:45
Because I hate them now,
because they may hurt me."

1:08:47
You know what I'm saying?
- I know what you're saying,

1:08:50
I'm not sure that's
what we're doing.

1:08:53
I'm not sure we're demonizing
1:08:55
black and Hispanic people, uh...
particularly.

1:09:00
I don't think we show
black and Hispanic people

1:09:02
as being criminals.
1:09:06
I'd like to say not more often,
1:09:08
but probably
they are more often.

1:09:10
But I certainly don't think...
We're certainly not trying

1:09:14
to demonize black
and Hispanic people.

1:09:16
- We show them on the news,
we show them on TV,

1:09:19
as pretty scary people.
1:09:21
- Yeah.
1:09:24
And I agree. I'd like
to see that reversed

1:09:26
as much as possible. I...
1:09:30
- Start tonight.
- Well, the thing is,

1:09:32
I don't know how
to start tonight.

1:09:34
I don't know how to tell
that story.

1:09:36
If I was smart enough
to do that...

1:09:38
- I'll pitch you one.
- Okay. All right.

1:09:41
- Um... um...
1:09:43
Do a show called not Cops
but Corporate Cops.

1:09:48
"Corporation man
Hey Corporate man

1:09:50
"We're coming out to get you
better run while you can

1:09:52
"We're coming out to get you
better run while you can"

1:09:56
- Uh... I love the idea.
1:09:58
I don't think it would make
very interesting reality TV.
