Good point, though I'm would have thought it was revolting enough that most students wouldn't have voted in favour of watching. A real bum headed move when there would be no point of watching it when there is no legal news on why he did it and stuff like that. What a dumbass.

In the CBC article, one of the students said that 30/30 students voted to watch it. I don't know how that can be true.

They held an anonymous vote, the student said, and all 30 in the class voted in favour of watching it. The class then spent the rest of the 75-minute period discussing it.

There's no way I would have sat in that class and watched that.

If they have never seen anything like that before, they likely didn't realize what watching something truly disturbing. They might have thought they could handle it because they watch horror films.

I watched one snuff film back in highschool and haven't bothered to watch anything like it again.

I don't know if anyone remembers the Faces of Death video series, which under the thin cover of a scientific documentary about death was one of the most complete snuff film collections ever created.

I remember trading for the whole series back in grade 10.

I remember, I liked a series called "death scenes" was better than faces. There's a "newer" series called "traces of death", good music in that series. I don't like to watch anymore these days.

The best part was learning that they weren't actually snuff films I watched when I was a teenager, they were a bunch of fakey mcfakersons, interspersed with a little gory news reel footage. Nothing ever in that series could actually be categorized as snuff, as any of the killing of humans depicted, was as real as A Friday the 13th film.

Plus do you honestly think Amazon could sell actual Snuff films?:

http://www.amazon.com/Faces-Death-Co.../dp/B000060MU9

However, electric chair dude should have got an Oscar for his death scene.

Great quote from the article:

Quote:
You mean, the famous electric chair scene was fake? But the guy was foaming at the mouth and everything!

"We built a cell in a friend's loft, and we lined the guy's mouth with toothpaste," says Schwartz, laughing. "My research material for that: I happened to pick up a Hustler magazine and there was this great article about electrocution that really detailed how a person is executed. . . . And that's what I used as my basis."
Faces of Death can be viewed in its entirety, uncensored on youtube now.

I watched the video its nothing as bad as 3 guys and a hammer, but it is pretty screwed up, high school is no place to watch a guy kill, dismember and have sex with a dead body.

The teacher should be charged and lose his license to teach forever.

Looks like Canada's most maligned narcissist is on his way back at this very moment. Will he be rushed to a holding cell upon arrival? Or will authorities allow Canadians to get a few shots in with pitchforks and baseball bats first on the tarmac?

This is obviously a publicity stunt. He's seen on video committing the crime. Er, crimes.

Our government should return the favour and conduct a publicity stunt of their own - extradite him to China to let them do what they want with him. I'm sure there's a couple prisons over there that would love to get their hands on (off?) him.

Can they prove that its not a special effects laden stunt video?

Do they have the murder weapon with his and the victims DNA?

IF its not real its memorex.

Is it even a sure thing that that a video with the possibility of it being edited will be allowed in as evidence without a fight?

Since he is going away for a long time to likely the harshest prison we have, what incentive does he have to not drag it out? Field trips to court and meetings with lawyers is probably the most excitement he will get in a long time.

Plus at some point an interview on CBC newsnet where thay call him a political prisoner because he upset the government by sending them a foot.

I don't know, he seems like the kind of guy who'd really enjoy prison...

Meh, he's obsessed with himself and the limelight that's come with this entire debacle. He can't get enough of himself, he's a bloody narcissist (no pun intended). I don't think he cares about prison, but he definitely seems like he cares about getting attention for as long as he possibly can.

He has only two pieces of leverage with which to better his future circumstances... a change in plea & the location of the head but given his pathological attention seeking behavior I wager he doesn't avail himself of either.

How long does it take for a package to get from Montreal to Washington? Just wondering if maybe he sent the head to Obama.
