Six Flags Cans Steve McNair Skeleton Plans
Skeletons dressed and positioned to resemble ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair and his mistress were part of the display. A promo video for the “Halloween Haunt” shows McNair sitting up on a couch with Kazemi lying across his lap. There is a hole in the top of McNair’s football helmet.
E-mails flooded Channel 4′s inbox expressing a distaste for the display. Channel 4 e-mailed the park and received an answer late Wednesday.
“When the gates open for the start of our Halloween Haunt event on Friday,” said park spokesman Don Helbig, “park visitors will not find a depiction of Steve McNair in any scenes.”
Thursday, the park released another statement, saying, “Kings Island has removed the celebrity scene from its Halloween Haunt event. We were not intending to be distasteful, and we apologize if we offended anyone.”
Kazemi fatally shot McNair before killing herself July 4 in Nashville.
Other celebrities included in the display were Michael Jackson in pajamas, Health Ledger with pill bottles and Sonny Bono on skis. [source]
Yeah, I’ve got nothing.
