Dear BBC
Thankyou very much for your recent report on this incident, and expecially the description of the so called 'victim' as 'a promiscuous homosexual'. It is most gratifying to see the BBC does not feel the need to appease the Gay Agenda lobbyists and lefty pinko bleeding hearts by holding back on their description of this mans true nature, and I'm sure it will be of great comfort to all and especially the family he left behind to know he was probably dying of the bad AIDS anyway and therefore deserving of being killed and eaten, although I feel you should also have mentioned whether he was tested for this after his death as I would worry the chef in question might have got 'good AIDS' by performing this service to society.
Yours sincerely,
Jeffrey Dahmer
PS. Could you please follow this refreshing new direction for all future murders and rapes so the public can equally make up their minds as to whether or not he/she brought it upon themselves.
*edit* The BBC Replies:
Dear Wil,
Thanks for your email. I'm sorry you thought our report inappropriate.
The reason that our reporter included the phrase 'promiscuous homosexual' was that it was a central part of the evidence heard in court. Opening the case, the prosecution barrister used the phrase 'flirtatious and promiscuous homosexual' in court to describe the victim of the crime, Damien Oldfield. He was trying to explain how the two individuals involved, Mr Morley and Mr Oldfield, had come to be involved in a relationship; and it was his view that both Mr Oldfield's sexuality and his promiscuity were relevant, as was his description of Mr Morley being 'unsure of his sexuality'.
In our account of the evidence on the opening day of the trial, we therefore felt such details should be included. There are strict legal restrictions on what reporters can say when covering court cases which are in progress; in a nutshell, we cannot add any facts which have not been heard by the jury, nor comment upon any evidence which has been heard.
Such restrictions are lifted at the end of court proceedings; when we will of course report on the matter more fully.
I'm sorry if we caused offence. We were simply trying to give an honest and measured account of what was said in court.
Thank-you for taking the trouble to get in touch; I do appreciate it.
Yours sincerely
Tim Smith

it's hard to find Dahmer creepy when he publicly stated in his trial that his favourite film was 'Return of the Jedi' and he felt it was a catalyst for him to kill as he identified with the storyline.

It was the themes of power and control that excited him, and he tried to make his own sex zombie by drilling into someones head.
Like you do.

The bullet points for the catalogue of injuries was especially informative.

simply put, Bad AIDS is when you got it thru gay sex, Good AIDS is something like a blood transfusion or lying husband.
