Fatal attraction

'Is the glorification of multiple murder--through trading cards, artexhibits, song recordings, and killer groupies--nothing more than harmless media hype? Certainly the families of murder victims don't think so. From their point of view, the sanitized, romanticized, and glamorized image of a sadistic destroyer of human life only adds insult to injury. But the harm extends well beyond the victims and their loved ones. Worshiping a killer whose actions are so hideous that he or she ought to be soundly condemned debases our entire society."
