Despite having been revealed to be a hoax, "toothing"—which supposedly people using Bluetooth-enabled cellphones and
PDAs to hook up for anonymous sex—made a guest appearance on an episode of CSI: Miami last night, with Delko
said to have been engaging in a little toothing the evening before the action takes place. This comes just six months
after they managed to work a reference to
flash mobs into the show (damn, those writers are with it!).
[Via textually.org]
Next episode of the show they use the psp to log into a suspects computer to play java tetris and stumble upon incriminating text message logs from his motorola RAZR phone. Then a chase will ensue on solar powered scooters. It will be X-treme to the max!
CSI is so hip and trendy. They even had an episode with Furries!!
In two weeks, CSI:Miami will feature a murder victim who in the course of the investigation is found to have had a pre-release copy of "Star Wars III" on his hard drive. A series of clues and instant fingerprint analysis will lead Horatio to the Miami vacation home of George Lucas, who will go down in a blaze of gunfire and anti-piracy vitriol.
The stock photo you are showing has a DEAD cast member in it....
Last weeks episode of Veronica Mars had a reference to Ubuntu Linux in it.

#3, you're right..but at least they mentioned him in this particular episode. :) Besides, the new guy sucks. Speed rocked.
Too bad the whole toothing thing was a farce, as reported yesterday - great timing CSI - guess they didn't do as much background checking as they think they do: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2005/04/05/bluetooth_sex_hoax/
C'mon guys!

That's why it's called fiction folks.
They had an episode where a guy was pointing a green laser pointer at an airplane causing it to crash about a month after it was all over the media. I'm amazed a how quickly they crank out these episodes from script, to acting, to approval, to broadcasting.
To bad the rest of the show sucks, compaired with the other CSIs.
People still watch that tripe? Wasn't toothing revealed as a hoax?
i love csi:miami. david caruso has the ability to make any line sound both completely serious and completely ridiculous at the same time.
It may have been fiction, but I like the idea!!!
Blind chats at events or bars...cool.
Now are there any Bluetooth chat clients out there for the Palms?
CSI Miami is bad acting. If it were in Spanish, it would be too crappy even to air on Telemundo.
As much as I love the CSI franchise, I can no longer bring myself to watch CSI:Miami. It just sucks soooo bad.
The only good thing it has going for it at this point is the actress who plays Caleigh. But that's it. The dialogue is ridiculous, the acting is bad (why is Caruso a "star" again -- what has he done other than NYPD Blue), the plot holes are kinda funny but nonetheless annoying. It's just horrible.
I tried to cut them some slack but after the Speedle character died (damn, I can understand why that actor didn't want to be associated with a show like this) it's been going nothing but downhill.
At least the action sequences used to be interesting (making CSI:NY officially the suckiest of the CSI franchises). But it's unbearable at this point. It's just too damn bad.
The green laser episode is full of shit. Blinding a pilot while flying a plane with a AAA battery powered, hand-held pocket laser is ridiculous and bad science. Even if you had enough hand-eye coordination to track the plane, the laser would not have enough power to burn the pilots retina. For a show that is supposed to be using science to catch criminals they play very fast and loose with the truth. Its like that episode where a child molester cut of his fingerprints and puts them back all scrambled. Who comes up with this crap?! The writers of this show definitely slept through science class. I am pretty sure they also cut English class. The stories are getting more and more implausible. Its not even worth watching the show anymore.
They get the ratings via the Baywatch effect. It may suck compared to the original CSI, but they've added an extra Miami-level of T&A, which makes up for it. Question is, how will CSI:NY compete? Those guys are going to need some terrific story arcs (read: mob or terrorism). Also, a New York show filmed in LA? So obvious.
I love the DNA Express Service, though. Hours for DNA results? Ha!
have to agree with the majority... v bad acting compared to the rest. get some more training guys!!! :))
I Disagree with Post #17, If you were to look up http://wickedlasers.com where they actually bought the lasers for the show then you will quickly realize that it is a very real situation. a green laser with 125mW power could easly bring down an airplane let alone Burn someones retina. If you knew anything about lasers at all you would know that It is coherent light stimulated by an emission of radiation. as in normal light the molecules scatter instantaneously. laser light still spreads but over extremely large distances. Hence Diode lasers still need a focal lens. if you dont beleive a laser diode cannot burn your retina check out this one igniting a match.
