I would guess that it's "attempted" because they were caught?

hmm. maybe. In some states, the partner has to consent to sexual activity, not just not say no. In the case of a dead body, there can be no consent.

So, he wears what I buy him.

Dude! You could have SO much fun with that...

I could, this is true. But I don't because, well...he wouldn't wear it anyway and then it's be a waste of money I could have just spent on myself.

I actually like that he doesn't like shopping. I don't usually like shopping with other people, and having him with me I think would drive me crazy.

Sorry to be all non-piratical and un-fun, but I just stumbled across this and it made me utterly fucking sick. This rendition and torture of a completely innocent Canadian happened almost three goddamn years ago. How can I have been so utterly ignorant as not to hear about it until just now?

We discussed it at the time it first came out. But if you depend on the mainstream press you won't hear stuff like this. If you can, listen to r Free Speech Radio news on regular basis. Only a half hour a day, and you get the stuff your paper thinks too trivial to include when there is a sports scandal or a shooting they can sell more papers with. (And these days I'm afraid even NPR leaves a lot of stuff out.) There are web sites too, but the advantage of radio is that you listen to it while doing chores or making dinner.

I got attacked by the cheapness monster

Yeah, I think that's what happened to me. But I don't know if I should gamble with finding it on sale. It's not like Anthropologie where I have to be head over heels in love with something to pay ticket price.

I went to Aerosoles to see if they had anything with a spike heel, and unsurprisingly not. But not only did they have another pair of granny boots to tempt me (being strong and not linking), they have these. Which honestly aren't like any of my other shoes, so I should have them.

kat, have you tried Zappos?

Vortex--in the case of the corpse, is there a partner? Which isn't to want to start up the necro convo again, and I guess if there's no penalty for reaching high with charges, why not give it a shot...just seemed incredibly farfetched.

the corpse would be the "partner" in this case.

the corpse would be the "partner" in this case.

I get the intent...it just seems weird to deem something inanimate a partner. And certainly to equate its rights with mine--I'm assuming that in states where necrophilia is illegal, the penalties are lower than for rape of a living person.

Most states have laws against necrophilia, those that don't could use sexual assault laws written broadly.

Well, not Wisconsin.

But my entire point is: a corpse's rights and mine equated? The hell?
