Corpsing

This afternoon, researching for an upcoming, top secret book project, I stumbled across a story with the headline:

Bergen man to get time served for sex with corpse
AUTHOR'S NOTE: No, you cannot ask what exactly this book I'm writing is about. Mind your own business!

The story itself is pretty routine: A lab technician was caught hosing the corpse of an 92-year-old woman by a hospital security guard. Happens all the time (in Teaneck, New Jersey).

What struck me was the high standard of posts in the readers' comments section below the Daily News article. My personal favourites:

This sounds like the crime of a White dude.

It still beats sex with Amy Winehouse.

Perhaps he just felt like having a cold one at the end of the day.
Life-affirming stuff.
