What gives me the willies about this more than anything is the fact that this is entertainment. People don't watch To Catch a Predator because they want to learn about the dangers of the internet and how to best protect their young'uns. They're watching it because, whether they admit it or not, they're getting off on it. They might not literally be stroking off or twanging the banjo, but they are being stimulated in a rather twisted way.

Another great example of this syndrome was when that John Mark Karr weirdo confessed to raping and killing JonBenét Ramsey. America watched that shit on television every night and drooled, just hoping they'd get to hear the true morbid details about how some pretty little blond white girl was literally destroyed from the inside out by a sociopath. I want to blame the media, I really do. But we're the monsters in this equation. Only instead of being predators, we're more akin to scavengers.

What the predators leave behind, we pick at and swallow until there's nothing left.

Hence the excerpt from my article:

Well fuck you, MSNBC/NBC. Fuck you, CNN. Fuck you, Dr. Phil. Fuck you, Nancy Grace…

…But most of all, fuck you, America. Fuck you for you lack of decency. Fuck you for your lack of self-awareness. Fuck you for your bloodlust and your morbid, psychotic, sexual fetishes that only serve to line the pockets of news corporations that cater to your unfortunate brand of emotional illness with cold, hard advertising dollars.
