Dead Deer Sex Post is Too Disturbing for Independent Sources; a rare editorial banning
In an effort to attract more mainstream readers, we are absolutely not going to cover this story. It is simply too disturbing. Why would anyone write about a 20-year-old man (let’s call him Bryan James Hathaway) who just received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer?
Unfortunately it’s not his first brush with dead animal nookie. In April 2005 he was found guilty of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it.
Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month to misdemeanor mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer.
“The type of behavior is disturbing,” Judge Michael Lucci said. “It’s disturbing to the public. It’s disturbing to the court.”
We agree. It’s too disturbing for us which is why we are not going to run with the story.

I can not BELIEVE someone would stoop so low as to even mention this most dispicable act of idiocy ever committed by man. I’m not even going to click the link to reward that obviously hit-starved blogger-wanna-be that would mention this filth of a story just for hits. Not that he got one.
( Why didn’t you just trackback this one so I’d have a cheapie follow-up on the actual story itself? )

Not such an odd story to someone who has been to Wisconsin and seen the women there.

I’m glad you didn’t post about this disturbing event. Deercrophilia is best left alone. I’m also not going to refer you to this link which features a live mouse getting it on with a dead mouse.
