If you haven't already, visit a site named "Death News." 
(http://www.deathnews.com) Recently, a friend was showing me a few of the
quicktime files he's picked up there in recent weeks:  an execution with
an AK-47, stabbings and similar mayhem.

The site is amazingly popular, as is the Internet Crime Archive (which
follows the lives of serial killers.)  Morbidity on the Web seems to sell
almost as well as pornography.
