ABC's 20/20 Exploits The Slender Man Atrocity For Halloween Ratings

 
Long time, no post creepers! Yes, I know it has been a LONG TIME, since I last published a blog on OMG, Anna! What's Going On?! However, that doesn't mean that I quit blogging.

Every so often, I have updated previously published blogs and published newer blogs on my website, It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. 

In fact, I celebrated my website's 6th anniversary in late September with the annual Q&A blog.

It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns 6th Anniversary Q&A

Anyway, that is not why I am publishing today's blog. 

On October 25th, ABC's 20/20 premiered the 2-hour documentary about The Slender Man Case. This particular 20/20 Special was titled, The Wicked. Around YouTube, I had no luck finding The Wicked's promo. Although, ABC News did upload the 2-hour documentary. Here is Part 1 of The Wicked

Even though I am glad that ABC spent the last 5 years following The Slender Man atrocity, such a highly sensitive atrocity should've been aired either before, or after October. You may be wondering, "Anna, what difference did it make?"

Well, considering how horrific the atrocity was and still is 5 years later, ABC's marketers made the network look as if ABC was exploiting an adolescent girl's shankings for a Halloween ratings hike. 

Had ABC News uploaded their promo for The Wicked on YouTube, the video would've been evidence for my slight rant. The marketing was somewhat distasteful. Then again, that's probably why ABC News didn't upload their promo to YouTube.

Just because the reports about the shankings were horrific, it didn't give ABC the right to market the atrocity like it was going to be a Horror film specially released for Halloween. 

Of all the 12 months out the year, why October? Why Halloween Season? Why not on the anniversary of the atrocity?

More sympathy AND empathy should've been shown by ABC's marketers. 

It somewhat felt as if the network was exploiting Payton Leutner's shankings for Halloween ratings, while simultaneously TRYING to show their compassion for Payton's well-being. 

ABC MAY have had good intentions, but the network's timing and marketers should've been more empathetic and respectful.

The way ABC marketed and advertised said grisly atrocity made them look opportunistic as well as insensitive to Payton Leutner and her family's suffering. 

It was bad enough, that Sylvain White directed and David Birke wrote the script last year for the Horror film about The Slender Man. The movie was banned from theaters in Waukesha, WI out of respect for Payton.

Last year, Adult Swim's Robot Chicken did a spoof about The Slender Man, which was highly distasteful.

Normally, I like watching Robot Chicken. Over the last decade, some of their episodes have been hits and misses. The scene above was definitely a miss as well as highly insensitive to Payton Leutner.

Despite all the distasteful flaws made by ABC, Sylvain White, David Birke, and Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, which were mentioned above, there is a silver lining.

Those of us, who watched The Wicked, had the chance to learn more details about this horrific Slender Man attack. In more ways than 1, the stabbings personally hit TOO close to home.

In 2014, I published a blog about The Slender Man attack on It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. Call it an eerie coincidence, or a premonition in the form of a disturbing and painful dream. You can decide for yourself by reading my blog in the following link:

 

Pre-Teen Sociopaths Stab Friend, Then Blame Slender Man For It (2014)

You have no idea how BADLY  I wanted to skip from Milwaukee County to Waukesha County just to serve jury duty for The Slender Man Trial. 

Every sane viewer like yours truly, who watched The Wicked, had enough common sense and critical thinking skills to be outraged by Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier's murderous attempts.

Meanwhile, we have bleeding hearts wearing rose-colored glasses here in WI showing sympathy for 2 lying, sociopathic, serial killers in the making. 

If I have to hear someone say, "They're just babies" 1 more time, I'll scream!

For several years, our local news reported about Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier conveniently sharing "schizophrenia." Their lawyers stalled their trial for YEARS.

Why did they do that?  

Because Morgan and Anissa would've faced adult charges for second-degree homicide. As their judge told them to their faces in court, what they did was "pure evil."

In addition, their lawyers like Morgan's lawyer (Anthony Cotton, for example) had a handful of psychiatrists cross-examine those 2 sociopathic killers. 

If none of Morgan and Anissa's psychiatrists justified their murderous attempts and validated their lies about "schizophrenia" in court, Morgan and Anissa's lawyers kept finding new psychiatrists, who would.

Almost everyone, who cross-examined Morgan and Anissa already KNEW, that Morgan and Anissa were sociopathic killers.

Our local news in WI FAILED to report over these last 5 years, that Morgan conducted personal research about HOW to get away with murder, while pretending to be schizophrenic for a lesser sentence, BEFORE attempting to murder her "best friend," Payton. 

Journalists also refused to report, that Creepypasta is a Horror Fan Fiction website meant for ADULTS 18 and older.

Hmm... Why is that? Talk about so-called "schizophrenic babies" trying to "game the system." Everything Morgan and Anissa did was premeditated.

Everyone else with critical thinking skills AND common sense continuously say, that Morgan and Anissa should've been charged for life rather than several decades inside mental institutions.

Yes, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier do have serious mental problems BUUUT... they are a LOT  more manipulative with their SOUND MINDS than what they pretend to be for the public. 

After their decades of being institutionalized are up, they will be back on the streets to re-offend. Thank their jury and lawyers in Waukesha, WI for such bullshit.

While Morgan and Anissa are petitioning for lesser time inside mental institutions, adults in WI SHOULD be petitioning for those 2 demon seeds to be charged for life. 

It's not like they will ever be any assets to society. If anything, they are menaces to it.

Because of Morgan and Anissa, their so-called "friend," who they brutally shanked nearly to death 19 TIMES, continues to sleep with a pair of scissors under her pillow for protection from them. That is highly abnormal. 

What kind of life is THAT for anyone to live?  

Regardless of what Payton Leutner says, her defenses are still up, mentally, physically, psychologically, and emotionally.

Payton may claim to be happier with her life, now that her "friends" are institutionalized, but she's not. The girl's mind and body are still traumatized from being attacked, 5 years later.

Continuing to sleep with a pair of scissors underneath her pillow JUST IN CASE Morgan and Anissa re-appear to kill her as she sleeps speaks louder than words. But that's okay everybody! Morgan and Anissa are now 17-year-old BABIES. (Did you catch the sarcasm just now?)

  1. Who missed the sarcasm in the last sentence of today's blog? I am very curious.
