anyways, yeah, that episode is the reason of some of the haters, but well, the producers of CSI do what makes money, and at that moment, cultures like the furry fandom were probably the biggest givers of the cashcow herd, and they overdid it on purpose to gain some more viewers.
doesnt mean i respect the choice of them to do it though..
also, like Lae said, it's pretty much ancient.
