Lord Forgive Him, He Got Them Dark Forces In Him

(Remember, God forgives. Man, especially me, 'eh' not so much.)


No big news. Cept’ if you want to read a detailed account of a man slipping off into the utter depths of madness, you should read about this guy, and his blog. That said, I am going to use this nutjob to show you how the media is. Yeah, I’m hatin’.

You see, Kevin Ray Underwood is an absolute nut. There can be no question that he is. After all, the sane don’t generally chop up little girls and put them in Tupperware. (White folks do some crazy shit, I’ll tell ya.) That said, this post isn’t about that poor miserable pathetic bastard. Nope. It is about the headline that the AP ran, “Suspect Blogged About Cannibalism.” That my friends is a blatant lie.

Nowhere in his blog does he discuss the finer points – or for that matter the baser points – of cannibalism. See for yourself. What appears isn’t much different than what appears throuout the blogosphere – political and news commentary and woe-is-me type depressive blogging. Sick. Yep. But not Hannibal Lecter type sick. As a matter of fact, I’d venture that he was no sicker – on paper – than bout’ 30% (or 60%) of the bloggers out there. “I can’t get a girl, nobody likes me, yada yada yada.”

Now, that said, where’d the cannibal thing come from? Simple, this sick fucker’s Blogger profile. His “question” (Blogger asks er’body a question. Shit like, ‘If you were a watermelon, would you have seeds or be seedless’ to which I responded, ‘ Watermelon? What kind of racist shit is that?!?!?’ Okay, I’m kidding and that will be our first digression, kiddies) was “If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?” His answer was, “The skin of last night's main course.” Beware of those who try too hard to be witty. They’re nuts. (Cept’ ofcourse me, who does so effortlessly. Ego is a bitch y’all.)

My point here is to be vigilant when hearing a news reports. Sometimes it is worth a further look, because the media -- like all hustlers -- has a product to sell. It is a better story if the miserable fucker blogged about murdering that poor little girl. He didn’t. But I bet you’ll be watching the “Blogger Murder” trial on Court TV in about 9 months. Opps, my bad, make that the "Bizarre Blogger" trials. Shit, I want in. I say we should call it the Oklahoma Blogger Massacre. (If they make that a movie, I want my cut. And as an aside, you see how effortlessly witty that was? I crack me up.)
