Do you have Dexter's killer instinct?
Published 8/19/2008 by Mandi Bierly at Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch
Do you have Dexter's killer instinct? Dexter_l It's a slow news day, so when I was sent a press release urging me to find out if I have "the killer instinct" by taking a series of four inkblot tests at DexterTherapy.com , I bit. Turns out, I am "completely normal." (My colleague Tanner Stransky, however, not so much. Perhaps it's because he said he found the final inkblot "arousing?") Take the test yourself, and report your results below. I've read enough of your comments over the years to make some guesses... P.S. Dexter: The Complete Second Season hits DVD today. ...

'Dexter' offers a killer test
Published 8/20/2008 by Whitney Matheson at USATODAY.com - Pop Candy
Dexter is already a pro in the viral-marketing department: Last year's website that placed unsuspecting folks in the path of Showtime's serial killer was one of the creepiest/ most creative promotions to come from a TV series. Now, fans can go to this site to see if they have a "killer instinct." It offers an inkblot test and a sliding scale that asks users how each picture makes them feel. My rating was a mere 28%. The site determined I'm "relatively well balanced" with "no deep-rooted psychotic tendencies." I guess that's a good thing, though 28% sounds pretty high to me.

The reason why this blog has been so full of nothing all summer (aside from the truly pathetic summer television offerings during a truly pathetically-weathered summer during which I should have been able to offer up lots of viewed television had it not been so pathetic ... whoa, that sentence just got away from me there) is because Mr. Mouse and I are moving out west and I've been busy doing non-bloggable things.
