I was watching the Sunday night rerun of The Practice. Normally I like the show. But in the episode last night a woman kidnapped the head of CBS and held him and Jimmy hostage in a hotel room. She had an elaborate plan to play Russian roulette on the CBS guy, had a small cannon pointed at him, and said she had the doors and windows rigged with explosives. She wanted the networks to cover the Russian roulette as a form of warped reality TV and to wire several million dollars to an overseas account. And wanted Jimmy and the rest of the firm to negotiate the deal.
The said she was bipolar.
So....once again, the mentally ill are portrayed by a network show as criminally insane. And anyone who doesn't know much about it will think all people with bipolar disorder are a menace to society by definition. sigh.
