You knew that somebody would go there, it was just a matter of who, where and when. The where and who that we refer to, a display at the Kings Island Amusement park just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. The when is for a Halloween display. The there is using a skeletal image of former Tennessee Titan Quarterback Steve McNair, who died a couple of months ago after being shot by his girlfriend. Yeah, a they had a skeletal image of her there too.

WLWT also has a story before the uproar talking about everything in the exhibit HERE

The exhibit, part of the parks "Halloween Haunt" at least initially didn't stop there, they have scattered amongst the displays, depictions of other celebrities who have died over the past year or so. Another issue that might not sit so well with people...live animals and a depiction of a slaughterhouse.
Of course, all of these have now been yanked from the exhibit. The Cincinnati Media were given a pre-show behind the scenes tour and that is where these images came from. While we understand that the Kings Island folks were trying to garner some attention for themselves, this may not have been the best way to do it. It's a little odd to read the differences in the stories that we posted here, in the last one, the spokesman was eager to talk about all of it, by the time you get to the Fanhouse piece, he is in full retreat mode.
