"...give the experts a little time...Given another new quantifiable disorder or two, everybody in the country will be officially nuts." ~ Jim Windolf, editor for the New York Observer
Caveat: Murder, mayhem, and molesting aren't pretty. This is not a forum for the faint hearted or squeamish. The posts are not previewed, and the moderator does not censor posts. (Well, almost never.) Please do not use this group for personal attacks against other members, however. It's not nice.
Is Your Interest in Crime Healthy?
Are true crime and crime fiction novels your favorite bedtime stories? Are your viewing habits contributing to the growth of crime and forensics dramas and educational programming that is taking over the television airwaves? Have you taped all the Autopsy specials on cable? Are you a frequent visitor to Rotten.com? Are your friends and family worried about your preoccupation with serial killers? Please read Is Your Interest in Crime Healthy? for some of the Editor's thoughts on this subject.
