Figures…
August 25th, 2009
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.
So, Apparently Bill Killed Bill

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

The Sylvia Likens Death House in Indianapolis was demolished today. Another piece of morbid history melts away…

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…

Jade Is Dead
March 22nd, 2009
I have been away on vacation in the mystical, magical south (South Carolina & Georgia, to be precise) and I thought for sure that when I returned yesterday, I’d find that U.K. reality star Jade Goody would have died in my absence. To my amazement, I found that she was gasping but somehow still alive last night. However, a few hours later, her battle with cervical cancer ended. I’m sad and disappointed as Jade’s death marks the death of an obsession, and there just don’t seem to be any other exhibitionists dying right now. Patrick Swayze is on his last legs too, but you don’t see him doing a reality show about it. Pity. We need more celebrities like Jade to fulfill our morbid voyeuristic impulses!
Rest In Peace, controversial one.
