Regard Your Date As A Serial Killer
I mentioned this on Twitter yesterday but … If you’ve not yet heard, NY Daily News, Gawker, Scandalist and others are all reporting about that sadomasochist, knife-loving, Satan-worshiping, vampire-adoring, 16-year-old kid. Read “The Kinky Sex Murder At ABC News Radio” by Brian Fairbanks. “Seriously, let this serve as a reminder to all of us to use extreme caution when inviting strangers home,” Brian says. That’s probably very good advice.
Additionally, I freely admit I google the hell out of everyone I date. You’d be surprised what you find. Take the satanic kid in the news, for example. His MySpace, YouTube were pretty straight forward. He mentions that he loves extreme violence, violent movies and knives. Nothing wrong with any of that stuff. At the same time, you gotta wonder about a guy who lists those as his hobbies in a getting-to-know-you kind of way. Same thing his declaration: “I’m an Extremist, an Anarchist and a Sadomasochist.”
It’s kind of like looking at an online dating profile, no? There’s nothing wrong with loving sex. At the same time, you can be pretty sure that a dude who lists “sex” under his “interests” section is looking for exactly that.

Nothing wrong with a little kinky sex. It's when you throw the 'murder' part in there that I take exception.

I've watched the news all day. How did I miss this?

Oh my god. I'm so happy I'm not single.
