Oh, what the hell, let me have a crack at this.
Here's the story for people too lazy and/or just don't want to click the link. Police in San Diego unearthed human remains in a man's backyard garden. Neighbors state that the man typically works in his garden while listening to heavy metal. A Cattle Decapitation album was found in his home. Said Cattle Decapitation album features a song called "A Body Farm". A news station is attempting to contact the band as "authorities" are suspecting possible copycat crimes based on the band's disturbing subject matter and lyrics.
So what have we learned? People are still a bunch of fucking idiots and I am speaking of the people investigating this and the nutcase who did it, no one is safe.
So here's what will happen, the news will absolutely run with this incredibly incidental link between Numbnuts here and Cattle Decapitation starting off another moral panic and cries that heavy metal is ruining our children and convincing them to do despicable things to others. Some relatives of the poor victims (presuming that this man was a murderer and not just finding the bodies elsewhere, such as digging them up) will sue Cattle Decapitation similar to what one crazy family did when their daughter was killed by some insane people who incidentally listened to Slayer. The story becomes even bigger. The lawsuit gets dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted/total idiocy. Only the lawyers get rich. Cattle Decapitation sells millions of albums.
Did I miss anything?
UPDATE: Dammit, I fell for it. This is just the set up for the video for the song "A Body Farm". It's all a joke. Fucking Cattle Decapitation, now you won't sell millions of albums. I suppose I'll tackle the Slayer issue this weekend. It's a long story.
