Is it just me, or has the world gone completely crazy?

I am positive that just about everyone in the world has heard of the "Montreal Butcher". I almost don't want to say anything more about this story, because I know that sick people like him are happy to be notoriously famous for completely disgusting acts. What I think is completely ridiculous is that in the past week or so, the media has been FLOODED with stories of cannibalism, body part slicing, sex with severed bodies, etc. If any big corportations or politicians have any skeletons in their closets, I strongly advise them to spill now because absolutely no one will be paying attention, and the media won't care.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who at first thought all of these horrible reports of cannibalism and dismemberment were about the same case. Wrong! So just to clarify, I've decided to make a short list of the killers of the week:

1) First of course, is Luka Rocco Magnotta: the Scarborough (aka serial killer capital of the world) born porn star who filmed himself killing a university student with an ice pick, sexually assaulted his corpse, and then mailed various body parts to the Conservative Party headquarters, the Liberal Party and two Vancouver elementary schools. Thankfully, it only took the police a day or two to catch him reading articles about himself in an internet cafe in Europe. Two things: a) is there any other use for an ice pick these days BESIDES murdering people? I'm pretty sure you can get pre-cubed ice machines. Also... why the Liberal party and not the NDP? Did theirs get lost in Canada Post? There are still a lot of unknowns about this story...

Labatt doesn't seem to be buying the "there's no such thing as bad press" theory

2) "The Miami Zombie" - Probably the second most talked about news story in the past week. A man in Miami tripped out on the designer drug "Bath Salts" and chewed off a homeless man's face while they were both naked. I swear I didn't make this up. The whole thing was captured on camera and lasted 18 gruesome minutes. If you are completely sick and deranged, you can find the video online. Apparently "Bath Salts" are legal in Canada. For now... Apparently there have been other cases of people going absolutely crazy on this drug and growling and "threatening to eat people". Actually. The homeless man in this case survived, but is still in critical condition. And doesn't have a face. This is messed up.

The guy on the left is the "zombie" and the right is the victim

3) The Brain-eating Killer Roommate - This is the story that has COMPLETELY gone under the radar. A man in Maryland killed his roommate, dismembered his body (#trending), and reportedly ATE the heart and brain of his now missing roommate. On Tuesday, the killer's brother went to his house and discovered tins containing a human head and two hands. The accused tried to convince his brother that the remains were not human, and then destroyed the evidence as soon as he had the chance. The rest of the roommate's body was found in the garbage near a church.

The smiling guy is the victim, the guy with the creepy stare is clearly the murderer.

I don't even know what to think of all this.... I guess they say bad things happen in threes?
