"scalped" to be on tv?

[delux_vivens]

newspaper_rock has news that the dc vertigo comic "scalped" may be headed for development as a tv series.

Rob is not overwhelmed with this:

If you don't know SCALPED, it's basically The Sopranos on the rez. That means a series drenched in murder, crime, corruption, sex, violence, gangs, drinking, and drug abuse. It's as if the GOON squads of the 1970s now

tried to. it was so full of complete and utter shit that I couldn't finish the first issue. i was mad enough to puke. figures those fucking asshats would put this piece of shit on the air, buy not something positive like a series of animated stories from famous native artists and authors.

[delux_vivens]

yep. when he said "It would be a major setback for accurate, authentic portrayals of Native people and culture" i was like, b/c we're drowning in those already?

Lawless third-world rogue state run by a 'savage' mafia? REALLY? FFS.

Maybe the television series will be better than the source material, but it looks like the comic author doesn't have much insight.

Wait, what?

LMAO! I have a similar icon (lurking, given my unpaid status) but not with words!
