John Wayne Gacy's Brain Fondled By A Kardashian. No, Seriously.

The episode of "Kardashian and Kardashian something something something" in question here is a couple weeks old, but we're not in the habit of watching anything involving a Kardashian doing anything (wink, wink). In any event, we were channel surfing yesterday afternoon (no, really) and heard something about flying to Chicago so we paused long enough to have our minds blown. The Kardashian in question is Khloe, who is apparently obsessed with serial killers. After her idea of booking an actual murderer for her radio show (yes, they're invading radio too) is shot down, her and a sister jet off to Chicago. Long story short, miss Khloe sat down with forensic psychologist Dr. Helen Morrison who, oh, just happened to have slices of John Wayne Gacy's brain in her drawer.

Dr. Morrison authored a book on serial killers that the Reader called "rambling...confused, confusing, [and] contradictory." A 2004 CBS story on Morrison says that she "wouldn't disclose where she keeps the brain," although now we know it's in a plastic bag in her desk, at least when TV cameras come a-knockin'. Khloe got to poke and prod the slices of grey matter, deeming them "like a hamburger patty" and "soooo small." Let me write that again, simply because I still can't actually believe it - Khloe Kardashian had John Wayne Gacy's brain in her hands. Just...yeah.

It's a long strange trip from "savagely killing 33 young men" to "brain matter handled by a Z-list pseudocelebrity on basic cable." Who knows - maybe this could be used as some sort of a deterrent, although we doubt it.
