Bobbit, Buttafuoco and now Hyatte?

I find myself oddly intrigued by the rather bizarre prison break that occurred in Tennessee earlier this week. I'm pretty much convinced that we'll continue to hear more about this over the next couple weeks and it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if we see a TV movie in the works. America has a thinly veiled obsession with these kind of wacko criminals.

 

This particular case has all the markings of a TV news sensation.

 

1) Interracial couple

2) Woman committing the crime

3) Love story between prisoner and a prison nurse

4) Evil criminal and, until now, seemingly normal woman

5) A bizarre escape and a vaguely anti-climactic apprehension

 

Everything about this is unusual...
