Loaded Couch Potatoes

Kings Island’s Halloween Haunt event kicked off over the weekend and they quickly received complaints over some displays that many considered offensive.  The displays featured dead celebrity skeletons, including Heath Ledger (with empty pill bottles at his feet), Billy Mays, Michael Jackson (with pet monkey Bubbles), and probably most disturbing, NFL quarter back Steven McNair (with his girlfriend who killed him).  A local Cincinnati news station posted their photos here.

I just don’t see how someone comes up with the idea, and gets it approved from the higher ups in the theme park to go ahead with it.  I’m sure they were just trying to be edgy this year and make some extra news coverage (nothing helps get attention like controversy) but I think they definitely stepped over the line with the McNair display.
