I also don't understand that critic's point, as almost all serial killers in the history of western civilization have been heterosexual white males who, while sexually frustrated, perhaps, have lusted after and killed women in particular. Scorpio, appropriately, seems to take special pleasure in targeting social minorities (women, children, gays, blacks, Catholics).
But you guys have been very clever with these examples. Keep them up ...

OK, that critic is ridiculous and makes no sense. He has no justification for calling Scorpio "gay," and even less for terming Harry a "racist" ... this is the kind of sh!t that gives film criticism a bad name. Scorpio does make something of a phallic joke by commenting on Harry's gun, but then, Scorpio is a perverse individual. ... his blatant and gleeful homosexuality. O ... K ... are we sure that BDC, Agent, Red, and Matt didn't secretly collaborate on this article?

Im telling you, there is no fooling the O.G (original GMAT). On a serious side to this, it is VERY possible that Scorpio be homosexual, or at least try it. Generally in criminal profiling of mass murderers or spree killers, there is usually a question of sexuality (such is the case with Jeffrey Dahmer). Generally this is fueled with a inability to bond with the female gender, and is mistaken as real homosexuality (which is an attraction to the opposite sex, as opposed to having sex with your gender because you are uncomfortable with females). It WOULD, fit the profile. -------------------- "Has anyone ever told you that you have a SERIOUS IMPULSE CONTROL PROBLEM??!",-Jim Carrey as THE RIDDLER.

Hmmmm, this is an interesting article.
I was reading this in the latest article of G.M.A.T (Gay Material And Thubplots)...about why the Dirty Harry character never went beyond Sargeant, or liked pairing with a partner.
Its a theory that in some "Serpico" kind of way, he was found in a mens room, and not alone. The then caring, and "understanding" captain, kept trying to pair him up with other "partners", to get something steady going.
Also a clarification. Supposedly his former partner, and his wife, were killed before the first Dirty Harry (this was inferred). There is a theory that they were one in the same person..."wife" being a nickname at the time.
Any thoughts?
By the way, GMAT....I miss you. I hope you know that was my backhanded way of saying WHERE ARE YOU??!?!
