"The depraved heroes of 24 are the Himmlers of Hollywood" is the main argument Zizek makes in this text for the "Guardian". Referring to Hannah Arendt and her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem" he points out: "What if people do commit terrible acts as part of their job while being loving husbands, good parents and close friends? As Arendt says, the fact that they are able to retain any normality while committing such acts is the ultimate confirmation of moral depravity."
