1 Recommend A Halloween park in Ohio revealed plans to display skeletons portraying murdered former NFL QB Steve McNair and his late mistress, Sahel Kazemi, during its upcoming season.

WLWT-TV reported that the Kings Island's Halloween Haunt included the gruesome scene among its push to include dead celebrities for more shock value.

Park spokesman Don Helbig told the station organizers wanted to include "authenticity" in this year's Halloween display, which also included humans hanging as slabs of meat.

The McNair display portrayed a skeleton with a blue shirt marked with a No. 9, McNair's uniform number, and holding a Titans helmet. Another skeleton wearing a red lingerie was draped over its waist.

Police say Kazemi was McNair's mistress and that she murdered him before shooting herself and falling dead on top of him.

Helbig at first denied to AOL FanHouse that a McNair exhibit would be included in the park. But when FanHouse told him about pictures of the McNair exhibit, he said, ". "Our event does not open until Friday. We meant him no disrespect."

Helbig told WLWT that Ted Kennedy and Ed McMahon were among the dead celebrities the park would be featuring. FanHouse reported that a scene of the late actor Heath Ledger surrounded by a bottle of pills was also included.

King's Island's website for Halloween Haunt includes a disclaimer that the exhibit is not suitable for children. Said the warning, "No one and nothing is off limits." -- Sean Leahy

Some people like tasteless.

They're going to take shit for this from many sides, but is it violating any laws or anyone's rights?
I'm firmly planted in denial
