Saw this Ed Gein T-shirt while thrifting. Obviously the "original" distinction is important for the Gein-ites, because they're wary of all the Dahmer-anians raiding the proverbial Wisconsin cannibalism notoriety fridge. Ahem. So to speak. I knew a girl at the University of Iowa (my freshman lit class) who lived around the corner from Jeffrey Dahmer in Milwaukee and was "freaked out by the whole thing." Yeah, I bet you were. One of my friends in high school was a self-professed "Ed Gein fan." He also has Star Wars tattoos.
