Cuddling, or Sports?

I wasn't going to post this story, but then I actually read it. Sweet merciful glaven.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A man who got angry with his wife because she wanted to cuddle after sex when what he really wanted to do was watch sports on television was sentenced to death for killing her with a claw hammer.

Christopher Offord, 30, was sentenced Wednesday by Circuit Judge Dedee Costello, who said the brutality of the crime outweighed any mental problems Offord may have had.

"The defendant struck his wife approximately 70 individual blows after spending a happy interlude with her," the judge said. "Her desire to cuddle after sex does not justify the extremely violent, brutal response of the defendant."

Offord pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the 2004 slaying of Dana Noser, 40, at his apartment.

He confessed to a bartender at a sports bar before his arrest. He told investigators that his wife had been nagging him to come back to bed.

Offord did not speak in court but said in a jailhouse interview in June: "I figured I killed her so I deserve to die."

Wow. Just... Wow. At least the guy's, right - he deserves to die. What kind of psychopath does that? Your wife has sex with you, and then wants to cuddle (which is the natural order of things, after all), and so you bludgeon her to death with a claw hammer?

If there are any ladies reading this who have considered marrying, or even just making sweet love to, the Fly, please note that I not only understand my obligation to cuddle after intimate activity, I actually tend to enjoy it; just don't expect me to be as profound and interesting after the act as I am here on the blog.

As for this Offord fellow, I hope they kill him, and kill him painfully.
