3:30 PM -- The Associated Press reports on a somewhat morbidly obsessed, if not sadistic, animal lover (is there any other kind?):

  • For the past several weeks, drivers near Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville have been noticing odd things about some of the roadkill on the sides of the area's highways.

    Some of the dead possums and raccoons have been dressed in pet or human baby clothes and have had their claws painted with nail polish. The carcass of a deer has been adorned with gold paint.

Probably just getting themselves ready for a good-old-fashioned carcass party... Duh.

  • The culprit is SIU-Edwardsville graduate art student Jessica May, 24, of West Lafayette, Ind.

    In an interview with the Belleville News-Democrat, May said she is not an animal rights activist; she is just interested in seeing if people would give more thought to the animals if they were somehow given human attributes.

Unfortunately, Jessica, your strange fetish has only triggered thoughts of having you locked up.
