Unfortunately the media has created the myth of a serial killer as a somehow heroic person that is determined enough to take whatever measures are necessary to fulfill their goals. The idea is to show how the media somehow changed the image we had of a serial killer and helped to construct of view of this coldblood killers as even nice people or people admired for their intelligence in fooling the police or their neighbours and relatives. The post above is the entry clip of the popular SHOWTIME series Dexter, about a "good serial killer" who only eliminate murderers and dangerous criminal that might jeopardize the way society works.
Serial killers such as Ted Bundy and Charlie Manson were used as icons by the media and still remain part of the popular culture in America.
"Natural born killers" shows us this problematic issue of the negative impact media have on society creting false values that people might feel like imitating.
