The FBI are so sick of being portrayed in a bad light and made out to be “bumbling fools” in movies, that they have held a 4 HOUR SEMINAR to teach screenwriters how it should be done.

The FBI held the first in a series of workshops for Hollywood screenwriters to help them create a realistic portrayal of the FBI — as per the FBIs recent request.. America’s distrust in its leaders is steadily rising. A Zogby International study discovered that 75% of Americans trust the “government less than five years ago.” This statistic heightens Hollywood’s responsibility to not portray FBI as fumbling and untrustworthy.

Their is certainly a point to be made about how the FBI are sometimes mistreated on film, but it’s no different to the way the Church, the Government and Businessmen are too often portrayed on film.

Every person, gender and profession is stereotypically translated on screen so stop whining and do your jobs! I mean Jesus, you don’t see George Bush holding FOUR HOUR LONG SEMINARS, telling Hollywood directors to portray him in a better light in film.

What next, are the FBI going to say “well you have to cast a good looking guy for every FBI agent”. Are they so fucking vain and bothered about their appearance and how they are sometimes portrayed on film to waste time on such nonsense?
