Actually its piss poor as well as dangerous to sensationalize serial killers by promoting their images as famous people into the public realm. We didnt have as many serious killers out on the loose before the media and marketers got ahold of the idea to promote them for capitalistic gain. They ARE a product and money can be made off of them. Once a dollar figure was put on them, their numbers exponentially multiplied. Not because we suddenly found the lost indigenous tribe of incestious killers. No, because we created them. We took people who with genetic potential and environmental conditions and societal probabilties, put ideas into their heads that might not have been put in their in the first place. You dont think so? Read up on them. Almost all of them say this when asked why they did it..."I wanted to be famous"
So...make the comic books. Make the Broadway plays. Create the music. Spin off stupid serial killler trading cards. Play board games based on them. Make the money these products bring in...
and forget about the victims rotting in their graves and the families who have to suffer silently in the shame and horror of what serial killer not only did to the victim but to them as well.The ripple effect without the extra ripples. The cause and the invisible effects.
Makes a helluva debate about right and wrong.
let me know what you agree upon...
