Hypocracy!!!

Semi opinionated rant coming. I was watching one of Louis Theroux’s documentaries the other night, I like them for the sheer objectivity Louis presents to the social groups he visits, it has to be respected. The man has more patience than I can comprehend, and this particular one was no exception. He visited a self proclaimed “Alien Hunter” who made weapons and items he believed warded off or killed aliens who like to abduct people and do unpleasent things to a persons personal parts. He had two badges on the shoulder  of his shirt, one for every kill he made. Well…WHERE DID HE KEEP THE BODIES???? If I was an alien killer whom the majority of the civilised world thought was clinically insane, I think I’d definatly keep the bodies of the aliens. And Theroux, very admirably, just stared and listened to it. If it was me I would not have been so patient, admittantly I am too much of a skeptic to have gone to the alien-centric part of America in the first place, but it seems like good journalism to me. This is the same man who lived with the infamous Phelps family (the religious movement in America whose members protest the funerals of dead soldiers because the military changed it’s laws to allow people from the gay community to become soldiers). And I suppose compared to this ritual, the practise of alien hunting doesnt seem so bad.
