The Autopsy You’ve Been Waiting For…

February 10th, 2010

The full Michael Jackson autopsy is available for your perusal. Don’t you think that the best part about celebrities dying is getting to read every little tidbit about their bodies after they’re dead? Or maybe that’s just me?

You know, I always watch those lame VH1 reality shows, but the one time I decide to boycott the show because I hate the main character (the loathsome “Megan” of “Megan Wants A Millionaire”), one of the contestants turns out to be a murderer. And now they’ve cancelled the show, and the other show that the guy is in too (“I Love Money 3″). Of all the rotten luck!

Though I’m anti-death penalty, I have to admit to a certain voyeuristic envy for this guy’s job:

For those of you who have been following the Caylee Anthony murder case (you know, adorable toddler killed, allegedly, by her monstrous mother and buried in her grandparents’ yard), I recommend you read the autopsy report (as suggested by The Witch Aquarius). I can never get enough of these things. My biggest regret in life is that I won’t be able to read my own autopsy report…

The Greedy Ugly People

July 9th, 2009

Seems I have a new morbid sightseeing spot to go check out here in Chicagoland ASAP! The greedy ugly people at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip actually dug up bodies and dumped them in a pile in a remote corner of the cemetery so that they could resell the plots! Why, oh why, have I never explored this cemetery before now??? By the time I get there, they will probably have the pile all cleaned up or barricaded off. So sad…

Oh, and these people should do major time for something this horrific.

Bea Arthur is dead. As someone who adored All in the Family, Maude, and The Golden Girls, this is quite tragic. She was awesome.

So how about that woman arrested for the murder of the 9-year-old girl in sleepy little Tracy, California? Allegedly, she not only murdered the girl, she also raped her with a foreign object. You’d think after doing something so horrendous (not to mention potentially embarrassing) you’d take a little more care to hide the evidence? Instead, the suitcase bobs up out of the rice field, like something out of Deliverance. (And yes, I am proud of myself that I was able to namecheck Deliverance two days in a row!) This will be an interesting case to follow…
