Dexter delights in macabre humor. The show, after all, has a serial killer for a hero. It has to be darkly funny or it wouldn’t work.
It makes sense, then, that the show’s official Showtime Web site would be a bit dark, too. For instance, the site has a series of Dexter-inspired games. Among them is the body bag toss.
That’s right. You play as Dexter standing in his beloved boat. You get three body bags to toss. The farther you toss them, the better your score. Someone named Eva6 had the high score the day I checked out the game. Don’t get on her bad side. Who knows where your body parts will remain.
Playing a serial killer may seem distasteful. But pretending to be Dexter Morgan isn’t all that much different than pretending to be Superman or Spider-Man. Dexter is a hero, cleansing the Miami streets of the vilest killers. Yes, he goes too far. And, yes, none of his fans really want to follow his example. It’s just nice to pretend once in a while.
