Nasty-v

Switched on the TV this evening and was immediately confronted by the off-putting sight of a mashed-up scalp, which turned out to be Lizzie Borden's mother's head after the forty whacks with the hatchet. That image is now burned into my retinas and will be returning once I've switched out the lights, thank you very much History Channel.

Interesting how TV producers seem to feel that showing incredibly gruesome crime scene pictures is fine as long as they're black and white, and of a reasonable vintage. Presumably that makes them historical.
