The Freakonomics blog has been posting the thoughts of real thugs as they watch Season Five of The Wire. Sudhir Venkatesh, author of Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets, has developed a relationship with Chicago drug gangs as part of his research into the economics of the game. He meets weekly with gang members to watch and discuss the show.
The exchanges are interesting.
