Not Breaking News, But Still...

I love halloween; hands-down the best holiday of the year, for reasons I went into last year. One thing I haven't been to in years is a good haunted house. In Cincinnati there were a few good ones we'd hit up when I was a kid, but this year the Queen City took things up a notch...

Apparently, Kings Island (huge roller coaster park and redneck spawning ground) has a Halloween haunted house with rooms of dead celebrities, which doesn't sound too bad, but they didn't stop there...and put them in some crazy poses with details of how they died, etc...

I've never really gone as far as to call Cincinnati classy, but even for Northern Kentucky this is pretty classless, but also fargin funny that nobody thought this would be a big deal. Well, it was, and now it's shut down because of all the bad PR. Whoops. I'm betting someone got fired over this.

Here's one of the images from the Haunted Walk, which is supposed to be former NFL Quarterback Steve McNair, who was shot by his girlfriend (who he was having an affair with, btw) right before she shot herself. Might have been a little too soon for this one...


Not pictured is the gun on the ground. There was also Sonny Bono (face-first smashed into a tree, with ski poles), Heath Ledger (dressed as The Joker but with empty pill bottles at his feet) and Ted Williams (frozen in a meat locker). Good times.
