Boobies & Boobs

Armed & Famous (1.11.07)

Jan 13, 2007 Deanna Couras Goodson

The 'Armed & Famous' crew faces some hairy situations. This time, the scariest things in Muncie are a kitty cat and some fake breasts. Read on for the review.

BOOBIES:

Officer Erik “Ponch” Estrada is riding around with his partner. While stopped for some reason, an older lady with white hair walks up to the patrol car. She asks Erik for an autograph. He happily obliges and asks if the lady has anything for him to sign. She says yes…her breast? Poor Erik tries to be cordial. I give him credit. I'd have put the pedal to the metal and high-tailed it out of town, y'all.

Luckily, he’s in for an even bigger – and in my opinion, better – surprise when the woman reaches into her top and pulls out a plastic, fake ‘boob.’ He breathes a heavy sigh of relief and signs it for the lady so she can get on to the nursing home before it’s too late.

BOOBS:

LaToya Jackson is probably a very sweet person. However…this show may not be portraying her in the best light. The woman walks into a local mini-mart and asks the proprietor if they have caviar, champagne or capers. They have none o’ that fancy stuff. She wants to cook for her partner. That’s sweet…but, caviar in Muncie. LaToya, didn’t you grow up in Gary, Indiana? Have you forgotten your roots, girl? And while I’m on the subject of roots…

No, won’t go there.

The other issue with Miz Jackson is that she is scared to death of cats. When she goes to take down a perp, she’s all business. However, if she spots a kitty cat, she goes ballistic. On this episode, she ran into the patrol car and cried herself a river. I laughed more than a little. Sorry, LaToya. At least she went to see a CAT THERAPIST. I kid you not! A cat therapist!

As for her cooking skills, at least the gesture of cooking dinner for her partner was sweet. Next time, she she order pizza for the family, though.

BOOBY PRIZE:

This also goes to LaToya Jackson. She proved herself to be a good and compassionate cop in this episode. When hauling in a young mother who said she’d been in abusive relationships, LaToya –who was married to an abusive man – gave the girl hope and tried to help her as much as she could. Kudos, LaToya. You're quirky and sweet and a compelling reality TV personality.

Okay, so maybe this section isn’t a booby prize, but…I didn’t know how else to make it fit with the other two sections. Do you have any suggestions?
