Too Pretty to Kill
This guy is accused of murdering women he met through Craig's List. The media likes to give murderers a moniker, so obviously he's the "Crait's List Killer".
Of course, this wouldn't be teevee news unless the defining characteristic of this young man was his appearance. Every single report includes the description "clean cut", as if everyone is amazed a beautiful person could actually be an evil killer. The media knows that coming right out and saying "hot" would sound a little too absurd.. so they dance around it with the "clean cut" descriptor and similar.
The people who write the news are so fucking twisted that they actually are shocked.. shocked.. that one of the beautiful people (a pre-med student no less) could possibly butcher women.
But.. but.. he's ao hot.. how could he kill?
It's true.. even people who are not hot are conditioned into believing that looks has something to do with personality. A good looking defendant is always more likely to be acquitted of a crime than somebody who is not attractive.
It's about sex, of course. People are less inclined to believe that people they want to fuck are evil.. but take.. say.. Phil Spector.. now he's a guilty mother fucker..
