People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.

I am politically incorrect, that's true. Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time.
