The swarm was hot for two weeks.
Every major news agency had press following every move of John Mark Karr. CNN and others were even so blind that they were broadcasting what he ate on his flight over the ocean, how many times he went potty and what flavour toothpaste he brushed with.
They let us know that he wears boxers over briefs, that he enjoys washing his hair twice with shampoo before applying a single layer of conditioner. They even let us know he has owned two cats, a dog, two guinea pigs and three hamsters in his life and that he prefers ribbed vs. non ribbed condoms.
They let us know he is allergic to bee stings but loves mixed nuts, enjoys a nice bordeaux with his seafood and that he actually likes the taste of orange juice right after brushing his teeth.
We found out he was a bed wetter until he was 13, that his favourite colour is fuschia and that he was in his high schools version of Grease, where he played the role of Kanicky.
Ok, so all the bullshit above was made up by me. I paid absolutely no attention to this guy other than to flip the station or turn the page everytime his name appeared in the press.
Why the media circus for two weeks?
I think something big just happened somewhere and not one reporter was available to cover it thanks to this story.
ADDENDUM JMK prefers Tim Hortons 12 grain bagels to low fat blue berry muffins. His blood type is O positive. He has a mole on his left buttock and a small birthmark in the shape of a sickle on his right thight. He is circumcised. He was a virgin until he was 17, and his first three girlfriends were named Carmen, Jacqueline and Soulesha. He has never been married but has his patterns picked out. He enjoys playing badminton with traditional wood racquets instead of the new carbon fiber. His eye sight is perfect but before he had laser surgery his astygmatism was +2.25 in his right eye and -1.50 in his left eye. He is also reported to have put dimes in his penny loafers in his youth to be different.
(ok, sorry, I woke up ornery over this and felt like writing more bullshit about the guy)
