Great Moments in Bad Taste: Serial Killer Trading Cards

I remember first hearing about these in my youth and not really being offended. However there was an uproar about them as preachy no nothings went on shows like Sally Jesse and Geraldo to complain about the moral decline of America. Themselves not realizing the irony of appearing on these shows which were the actual moral decline of America.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon some in my father in law's computer room. They have the stats of how many people the killer snuffed out, what year the crimes took place, and how they were later executed. The funny thing is they are still routinely looked at as distasteful. Even in the face of a show like Dexter which wins awards for glamorizing a serial killer. It would be ironic if there comes along a serial killer who rides a bike and he has one of these in his spokes when he gets caught.
