Psycho-Con
and The National Big Murder Show
Champions of the recent national rise in hatred
toward our government inevitably support their convictions with examples of the
corruption at every level of leadership; local, regional, and national. To
suspect less of government might be naive. One must recall that in every level of government there exists
not only demagogues and greedy liars, but personal heroics, selfless acts, and
diligence for the greater good. Thankfully, those countless quiet stories of
justice and fortitude are, much to our mutual pleasure, never told.
Instead we have The Golden Book of One Hundred Serial Killers, for ages 8+.,
complete with accompanying sticker sets of victims. For the younger audience, My Favorite Psychos Coloring Book,
allows even the most spatially challenged toddler’s hands to produce works
leaden with content. While the segue from political hardball to mass murder has
historically been a short walk, one can not escape the recent ruling in favor of Jack and Jill and The Bucket of Blood
as a primary cause for collective anxieties now so feverishly embraced by the
nation.
At Psycho-Con,
and it’s demographic rival, The National
Big Murder Show, political mass murder is the new crowd favorite.
Lines at the new Stalin stimulation
games were long, and by necessity, tortuous. The Ghengis Kahn licensed school supplies were top movers, and even the
perennially
successful Charles Manson figurines
were overshadowed by the upstart fever over the newly released Covert Black Ops Trading Cards, and
remotely controlled Predator Drone
Action Toys.
Manny Tuckhaven, a seasoned mass murderer
collector (M&M in the trade), believes the new resurgence in political mass
murder is a welcome break from the more traditional obsessions with low-volume
insane criminals, or LVIC. "The LVICs will always be a part of the
American Dream, but the new kids are bringing all those classics out of
retirement, like Goebbels and Napolean and Panama. With support like this, I’m
sure we'll see some fresh blood in the arena in no time.”
The
National Big Murder Show is at the Convention Center now through
the end of the Month. Free admission for documented victims of collateral
damage.
