The Classics Never Lose Their Kick


A Wisconsin teenager is blaming the film Natural Born Killers for inspiring him to murder his 18-year-old girlfriend. Eric Tavulares, 18, told cops he and his sweetheart Lauren Aljubouri, whom he'd dated on-and-off since grade school, were watching the Oliver Stone-directed shocker the night he strangled her. He says they shut the film off halfway and went to bed, but then "but something caused him to switch mentally and he rolled over on Lauren Aljubouri and he began strangling her."

Tavulares, a recent high school graduate, had planned to study fire science at technical college before he punched his ticket to prison. Please tell me you have to go through some kind of psych evaluation before you can study fire science.

It's sad that a movie as bad as Natural Born Killers can have that kind of impact on someone. If this fucker Tavulares had any taste at all, dear little Lauren would still be with us right now.
