But Arnie is as animated as the dead (all his movies included) maybe he just wanted a reason not to fuck the wife. ---

So before this law gets passed. You can kill a girl then rape her. And then only be charged with homicide? Those wacky Callifornians!!! Well I guess one thing that can be said about dead people is that they’re not to critical of your love making skills. /Going to Hell ---

Well, God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Meat. Wow. That doesn’t even rhyme. ---

> [@The King of Soup](#): > > In the present instance, I think that the inevitable results of people finding out that you have sex with corpses, along with losing your job or your business, possibly getting sued, plus (for those enthusiasts not in the business) a B&E or trespass conviction, can be counted on for a just outcome. Yes, but… the family of the departed will make great dole on all the evening news and the local papers at how none of those civil actions and minor charges can possibly be proportional to the abhorrent nature of the act committed. Quasi-informed local TV talkingheads and talk-radio hosts will shake their heads and cluck their tongues after asking the local prosecutor in mock-disbelief how come nothing more severe is happening to the culprit than business ruin and having to leave town. This is an easy bill to pass to make work and run up the legislation score. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > I don’t what to deaden the humor, but there are real necrophiliacs. People working in funeral homes have been known to give it a go when they are alone with a corpse. Others really have gone and dug up bodies. If it were your departed love one, wouldn’t you want there to be a law on the books with an appropriate punishment for it? I can’t imagine caring, one way or the other. Once the person’s dead, the body’s just a thing. Bury it, fuck it, cook it, doesn’t make any difference to the former resident, or, by extension, to me. Of course, my family usually goes for cremation over burial (“a cemetary is a waste of perfectly good land,” as my dad puts it) so we’re pretty much immune from these sorts of concerns. Unless someone wants to mix gramma’s ashes up with a tube of KY and use her for lube, or something. ---

This is an easy bill to pass to make work and run up the legislation score. Bull’s-eye. It’s also an interesting and recent phenomenon that every member of a community has begun to feel, somehow, that their outrage and disgust over _any_ crime makes them a sort of honorary co-victim. It combines with the also-recent notion of victims’ rights to form the theory that criminal penalties should be based not on law, but on how much sympathy and outrage can be fomented over a given case. It ain’t justice unless it’s mob justice. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arnie-joins-no-fun-police-bans-sex-with-the-dead/264307.md?page=1)
