yes, but when will her shitty parents send their condolences to meredith's parents?

when will the media actually look at "fuckface" knoxy's writings depicting rape, murder, torture?

yes, your daughter is so innocent! she wasn't drinking or toking or even having sex in italy, honest! because when white privelaged bitches go study abroad, they turn into loose, experimental whores, i shit you not.

seriously, their whole family is lacking common sense.

You just love murderers, don't you? Go ahead and keep posting pictures of her. Like we care.

It's a shame you can't just sleep with her Charles, so we can stop hearing about how great it might be if you could.

Well, if some people on Facebook think she should be freed, clearly that means she's the wronged party here. (It isn't even a lot of people on Facebook. Lame, Chaz, even for you.)

It's a shame that this immensely valuable breeding unit was taken from us over a silly little thing like some dead foreigners.

I'm guessing that if she was about 30 pounds larger, no one would give a shit other than her family and friends.

Chaz is clearly taking the piss here. He has to be. My sanity demands it.

@6: in the uproar over the boy-kills-sister post, he did say something about doing it for the lols/it was a social experiment. So I believe the answer is "yes, until he says something so completely stupid that his editor even calls him out on it."

well, did she do it or not? did she aid & abet? did she obstruct? let's see some charges.

appropos of photo #1, it's time for the italian prosecutors to shit or get off the pot.

Yep, the case against her is weaking, you know, cause her family and some friends are defending her. That makes her so totally innocent! You know Chaz, even average looking girls can commit murder! Shocking, I know. If she ever does get out and come back to Seattle she will know she has at least 1 "friend" and defender. On the other hand she may be filing a restraining order.
Your arguments based on nothing but PR moves are pointless and as I've said before, annoying.

@10 He did? I don't remember that, did I stop reading it too soon? The only thing I remember from him was more defenses of his point of view.

I'm friends with the prince from Morrocco on facebook - doesn't mean he's real or I think he's real.

And sometimes, just sometimes, people think all this fuss is just silly, and make up a fake cause to rile up all you obsessives ... (grin)

but if we call chaz a troll elenchos invokes the claim that we are making attacks on him and his character.

@13: yeah, i knew they have up to a year to file charges, but fuck - even president bush could have solved this by now.

they need to put down the smokes & the grappa & work longer than 4 hours a day.

then again, so do i.

See, what did I tell you about girls in "wacky" hats? Do you see any hats in those pics? NO. Because the PR people know what we all know, girls in wacky hats are not to be trusted.

Funny though, even in those pics, she reminds a lot of this weird psycho a friend of mine used to date.

Where are the romantic pictures of the victim that was raped, tortured, and murdered?

the whole thing makes no sense, but everyone has their minds made up already so who cares what really happened

All I wanna know is: Where does Amanda Knox fit into the Star Wars cosmology? That's an only-half-snarky question, Charles. Is she Queen Amidala? Senator Palpatine? Lando Calrissian? Surely there's a workable pop-semiotic angle here...

I have read a lot of the evidence, and it looks highly unlikely she did it. The only off thing is her "confession"- which is clearly false (it does not fit the facts of the case at all.)

Yes, it is bizarre that she did not go straight to the cops when she saw her place a wreck, but 20% likelihood that Meredith's DNA was on the knife?- and NO trace of blood on the knife? Are they kidding?

People come up with odd stories when they are under stress- particularly the kind of stress a girl who is not used to being arrested might feel if she were subject to an all night interrogation.

Trust me, I was held up & mugged once while walking with 2 other friends. I screamed and the police caught the guy at the scene. When we were questioned the three of us came up with 3 hilariously different stories. I did not even remember that the guy was wearing neon yellow overalls. When I heard my friend's stories I felt like I could remember both. When you feel you are under extreme stress your memory fries.

Obviously, and I'm not only critiquing Mudede, part of the appeal of this case the attractiveness of Knox. I find it reprehensible, though, that images created by a close friend of Knox are used with such a lack of context.
I mean, I'm not a big fan of (post?!-)modernism, but this ad hoc visual is an example of taking a context and idea and misrepresenting it to a larger audience. Really, it makes one no better than Fox News.
