A couple of years ago I read an ariticle that dealt with a man cutting off the head of the man who managed his apartment. The newspaper article emphasized the fact the man was a fan of Highlander. Was this a case of television influencing someone?

And it starts...

Maybe it lead him to decapitation instead of strangulation. In any event, I don't think the corpse cares much.

Your correct. The newspaper though wanted to lay the blame at the feet of the show.

IMHO, if you end up cutting off somebody's head, then you're a walking timebomb anyway, and if it's not a TV show that lights the fuse, it'll be something else. Blaming Highlander is nonsense...this man was wacko.

It seems to me that the Entertainment Industry gets blamed every time someone does something wacked out.
Too bad tv or movies or even rock 'n' roll wasn't aorund when Cain killed Abel,maybe he could have
blamed it all on watching too much tv.
