Trend Spotting: Decapitation is in!


Everyone's losing their head for the newest fad - decapitation!

Hot on the heels of the nutty Canadian Greyhound incident, some dude on a small Greek island, BBC reports, beheaded his girlfriend and calmly paraded her head around the streets while residents barricaded themselves in and hoped the afterimage wouldn't psychologically scar them.

What bothers me is that the US is totally missing out on this cranium cleaving craze. We're usually the trend setters, especially in the gruesome and gratuitous violence sector, and here we are heads and tails behind second-tier countries like Canadia and Greece. We were late to Brit-Pop and J-Pop - it kills me that we haven't yet caught onto Top Pop (my phrase for the fad).
