The Matthew Shepard Story is on NBC tonight -- was there ever a more insignificant life? His death transformed him from a little pervert loser to a Historic Figure - like Byrd went from ex-con lowlife to Martyr by being murdered. Hollyweird is so sick. But innocent little children are murdered and their murderer gets sympathy from the same crowd that idolized Shepard and Byrd.

It sure doesn't make any sense. Don't guess we'll ever see a made for TV movie depicting the terror those 5 little Yates children went through in the last hour of their life.

The Matt "backdoor" Sheapard story was significant enough for an MTV movie several years ago.. why on NBC now? Are we going to see a remake of the Mitch Schnieder story? Chea Guevarra? Pablo Escobar? oops!

"The Matthew Shepard Story is on NBC tonight"

I absolutely refuse to watch such garbage! I already know the kind of spin that will go with that story. Look for a surge of perverts seeking attention and concessions immediately following.
