Amelie Gillette has a really funny piece up today about Snapped, a true-crime show on Oxygen
about previously normal women who suddenly go crazy and kill someone, usually
their husbands. Amelie swears that she’d never kill her boyfriend, but if she snapps at least she knows how NOT to do it.
“When I watch Snapped,
I'm an armchair killer. I second-guess the murderer's methods (stabbing someone
with a knife 192 times? Haven't you ever heard of good, old-fashioned
succinylcholine?), or their clean-up attempts (hastily hung wallpaper? Nice
try) or their defense strategies (self-defense doesn't make sense if he was
sleeping when you shot him).”
