??!! "Is It a Good Idea to Marry a Serial Killer?"

Posted by Lindy West on Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 11:30 AM

Some crazy lady is marrying a serial killer in Australia. Whatever. Old hat. (Although I do like that she told her story to That's Life magazine. So you dismembered four humans and dissolved their bodies in acid. That's life! Why, just yesterday, I lost an earring down the garbage disposal. That's life!)

But the thing that makes this story AWESOME is the accompanying reader poll:

As you can see, one of the options is "YES," and another option is basically "dunno." I mean, it really depends on what you mean by "good," and what you mean by "idea." Cast your votes, y'all!

Thanks to slog tipper Matt Hickey and to AdelaideNow, for giving the world the opportunity to vote IN FAVOR of creepy celibate serial killer jail weddings.

Lindy,
Why don't you take a poll? Let the Sloggers decide if it's all right to marry a serial killer.

Who hasn't dismembered corpses and then dissolved them in acid? You make it sound so dirty.

Well of course she should marry him. It's not politically correct to discriminate against someone just because he happened to murder a few people.

Nice to see my home town hasn't changed. Adelaide: serial-killer capital of the world!

Come on people. Of all places can the people on Slog really be critical of other peoples fetishes?

Obviously it's a good idea to marry a serial killer (as the poll notes, love transcends all boundaries) unless the serial killer is of the same sex. Duh.

So long as they're in jail, it's no worse than going on The Bachelor ...

Especially if you love danger.

Yes. Take each other out of the gene pool.
