[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! Sex, murder, and schools![/quote]

Actually, if you assume there are more moms than dads on this site, then the "sex and murder" part make sense.

You might not like the generalization, but generally, "soap operas" revolve around sex and murder.  No one disputes that mothers are the primary audience.

One of the most popular fiction authors of all time was Agatha Christie - who wrote about murder.  Hugely successful was the TV series "Murder She Wrote."  Before that the was a popular magazine "True Detective" that appealed mostly to moms.  Now Game of Thrones is a hit (pun intended) and it's as bloody as it gets.

[b]It's sad, and I don't know the reason or psychology behind it, but Americans are fascinated by murder.  [/b]

The sex part- I get it.[/quote]

And what brings you to the conclusion that this is uniquely American?  I've lived in a crime ridden city (joburg) where murder is not even acknowledged. There is complete apathy over it.  I'm glad we still care.[/quote]
