Satire: Kevin Bacon’s The Following Too Violent For Chicago


Hollywood & Swine “reports”: “Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced today he is banning Fox’s serial killer series, “The Following,” starring Kevin Bacon, stating that it is too violent even for one of the most violent cities in the world.  The ban comes on the heels of a recent study conducted by Northwestern University that concluded “The Following,” along with Chicago’s 10 o’clock nightly news, is consistently the most violent two hours on television.” We’re pretty sure it’s a joke, but he probably wouldn’t get much of an argument from PhillyMag’s Richard Rys, who has been recapping The Following for us, part of our never-ending attempts to chronicle the career of Philly homeboy Bacon.
