Once again the Creep of the Week readers have made their voices known. Herewith are the official results of the 1997 Creep of the Year voting, along with some of the more comprehensible and publishable comments received. Thanks to everyone who contributed and to all the Creep of the Week Cybersurfers who continually keep me amused, entertained and harassed.
John and Patricia Ramsey (Ex-Parents)
They haven't been indicted or convicted or even officially accused of anything. But the Ramseys don't pass the Smell Test. They stink as much as the year-old corpse of a little girl whose murder hasn't been solved. Lately we've heard talk that a stun gun was involved in the crime. I think it was used to make the police investigation comatose. Here's what our voters had to say about the Creeps of the Year:
o What kind of subhuman species of life-form could murder their own baby daughter on Christmas night and then spend the next year pointing their fingers at every friend who ever crossed their path, as well as about every other person who ever set foot in the state of Colorado?? These people deserve all the shame and censure they can possibly receive. Consider this my Christmas gift to them both.
o In JonBenet's short life, she was constantly being given the message that she wasn't good enough--her eyes weren't the right color, her pretty brown hair wasn't good enough.
o These two poor excuses for parents dressed their little girl up like a cheap hooker, painted her face with gaudy makeup, coached her to wiggle and strut like a Vegas chorus girl, and then, when they got annoyed with her for either wetting the bed or refusing her father's sexual advances, strangled and bludgeoned her to death.
o This story has all the elements of a great literary epic, all the way down to the velcro under JonBenet's buttons. After every other element has been released into the turbid kaleidoscope of horror, the ultimate irony will always remain: That John, who named his son "Burke" after a vision, ended up burking his daughter.
o For a year these two have vacationed in style while their daughter lies in an unmarked grave.
o Think about what went on in the Ramsey house that night ----- they are CREEPS!!!!!
