L'ami Tony Pierce a passé un sale week-end: il a appris que l'un des fans de son blog a été arrêté dans l'Oklahoma pour avoir tué une petite fille de 10 ans, dans le but de la manger. "Il n'avait pas de casier judiciaire," écrit Tony (qui, pour le situer, avait fait l'ouverture du sujet d'Envoyé Spécial sur les blogs.) "Il n'avait pas d'arme à feu. Ne prenait pas de drogues, à en lire son blog, et ne buvait pas. Juste un type de la rue, quelqu'un à qui vous pouviez dire 'salut' s'il portait une casquette des Cubs ou un maillot des Raiders."
Le garçon de 24 ans avait repris un article de Tony sur son blog et Tony l'avait signalé dans ses liens. Tony est malade en songeant à la complicité que ce monstre a pu éprouver en lisant son blog, au point de le mettre dans sa liste de liens préférés. Tony avait placé des liens en retour, ce qu'on appelle entre amis ici "un échange de linky love". Hier, Tony a commencé à dire que le type était certainement rejeté par les filles, et que les nanas devraient faire des efforts... avant de reprendre ses esprits, heureusement, et de conclure: "Oui, j'ai perdu la tête."
The 24-year old man had republished one of Tony's articles in full on his blog and Tony had sent some "linky love" back to him. Tony says that he's sick thinking about what sense of bond the guy could have felt to want to put him on his blogroll. Yesterday, Tony started saying that the guy was probably rejected by girls, and that the ladies should make some effort... before coming back to his senses, thankfully, and concluding: "and yes ive lost my mind."
Cette histoire est vraiment hallucinante ... Bon courage à ton ami en tout cas ...
Pour info, en moins sordide, ton vieux singe était en couverture de Closer, un people bas de gamme de chez nous ...
Merci pour l'info Closer! Je suis allée sur le site, c'est gratiné...

Emmanuelle,
Did you know that Newsweek linked to your blog today, yes, Newsweek International edition, on their technology watch page. You will soon be flooded with visitors!
This guy Underwood who killed the little girl, he was a person suffering from depression and other mental problems, and the doctors had put him on medications a few years ago, however, he decided to go off his meds last year and that is when his weird fantasies starting coming into this sick mind, he need to stay on the meds to cope with life, but he went off them, and the rest is this sad story about his murder and canabilism festish. He also studied Japanese online and kept a blog about his interest in learning Japanese. But it had nothing to do with what he did. So too with your friend Tony Pierce, whose blog Underwood linked to. He was just a sad unhappy lonely person who went off his meds, broke up with a girlf friend in another state, and went bonkers. There is no one to blame, other than fate, destiny, DNA, personality disorder, going off the meds. Please tell Tony there is no connection to him at all. Relax.
