If you were arrested for a high-profile crime, what about you would the media have a field day with?

[Locrian]

I'm atheist. That should be enough for Fox News and the CSM.

[Student Driver]

Let's see. Longer past history: Loner child. Abused as a teenager, ran away and was homeless, dropped out of school after 8th grade. Received treatment for severe depression, several times. Was a member of two hard-right Christian organizations (a church and a school) as a child and teen, including one noted by the Southern Poverty Law Center as being a racist militia group... which was shut down forcibly by ATF .

Personal hobbies: Former huge video game addict. It was one of the strains that broke my marriage. Like, owning every console released between 1977 and 2001, with over 5000 separate releases, even own three arcade games. Former huge comic book fan, with a collection in storage of around 13,000 comics (especially focused on 1940s-1970s). Huge personal library of wide variety, with many titles that would pique curiosity (there's a shelf of WWII books that inexplicably all have a swastika on the spine, for instance). Current huge porn collection-- several hundred DVDs/Blu-Rays, about 2 terabytes of saved stuff (which is actually not that large as it sounds as current HD clips can be like a gig a minute). They might also get a little weirded out that not a single bit of it stars a male. I'm sure they could find something interesting in my 2000+ title-strong LD/DVD/Blu-Ray non-porn collection, too, especially since I tend to focus on classics and imports, so have stuff like The Birth of a Nation and Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom.

Recent history: Happy to stay inside and not talking to anyone for days/weeks on end. Estranged from most family and friends. Hardcore academic focus--to the point that I did shove people out of my life for several years, which is the main explanation for the estrangement-- that led to receiving two degrees in pretty disparate fields while never receiving anything less than an A+ in every class taken. Heavy binge drinker who has received medical attention for injuries received on more than one occasion. Last fiancee had serious mental illness problems, spending more time in mental hospitals during the relationship than she did with me.

But the media would probably dig up the picture of me at 18 with long black hair and combat boots, and figure out a way to blame Marilyn Manson.

With you so far...

Wait a minute... American Universities don't usually give anything above "A." Al-Qaeda Sleeper Agent!!!


(Yeah, I know some do).

IU does!

(I did always feel like it was a bit of a cheat, though. When I was a kid, A+ was reserved for perfection. 100/100. In most of my classes at university, it was 95/100 or some random non-perfect threshold, sometimes even 90/100, and a curved class could-- and did-- yield times when 65/100 could work.)

[Detroit]

She was quiet - too quiet. You never knew what she was thinking.

She read - REAL PAPER BOOKS - not the electronic kind. (That kind of stuff messes with your brain.)

She had a cel phone but seldom used it. How weird was that?

AND (horrors) - didn't have one tattoo on her entire body - not ever a cat tattoo!

Honestly, I think if a killer had a room dedicated to waffles or had 20,000 frozen waffles, that the media would at least mention it.

Hmmm.... now I know what to do with that room that I never use. I'm going to turn it into a waffle museum... just in case. (Of course, I've always wanted to go out back on the farm and burry a large animal -maybe a horse- with a computer so it looked like the animal used the computer, just to screw with future scientists)

[Klytus]

FOX News says: He practices Satanism!
Truth: I'm Pagan

FOX News says: He has a long history of cheating on his lovers!
Truth: I'm polyamorous, and have "open" relationships.

FOX News says: He has several mental disorders!
Truth: I'm on meds for ADHD and was once on meds for depression.

FOX News says: His fingerprints were already on record long before this incident!
Truth: I had background checks for when I worked as a substitute teacher 20+ years ago, and again when on a contract for the INS.

[Cheerleading Dropout]

Keeps several blunt and/or sharp weapons in her room (you can never be too careful! ).
Reads and writes very dark fiction and has either too much or too little attachment to any given character.
Isn't Christian.
"She was always quiet and studious in school, I wonder what happened"... dun dun dun...
Moves houses often.
Plays violent video games...?

[ddaug4uf]

I am a bad Republican (I don't believe famine, floods and drought are retaliation for abortion and gay marriage).

[Crafter_Man]

I own some big guns (.50 BMG, .308, etc.) and have close to 40K rounds of ammo in the basement. I can see the headlines now.

[Lust4Life]

I expect that they'd try to make something out of my habit of masturbating in public places.


That and my refusal to use toilet paper or shower.

The media can be right bastards sometimes.

Scum !

All of them !

[Landshark]

Quiet, tend to keep to myself, live alone, and love photography. (Have you seen/read how much harassment some photographers get?)

[ratatoskK]

I'm a surly atheist on drugs with a psychotic child (my fault) with access to a high security data center, and I know how to shoot a gun. I worked in a missile factory and have been an active Trotskyist. My ex is an insane Vietnam vet postal worker.

[FriarTed]

Charismatic Christian.
Political conservative.
Former Bircher.
Lived with Mom until she passed away.
Collection of extremist literature, books on serial killers, & classic horror films.

[Tblue]

Enforced work on horror films clearly desensitised her.
And then these edged weapons were found scattered at her home: http://www.ledgecentral.com/Images/which.jpg
Clearly her inability to tell the difference between reality and imagination prevailed.

I do have a facebook profile.
So does my puppet. I think he's more popular than me.
