The line from Dark Horse . . . She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer . . . bothers me. For those too young to be familiar with Jeffrey Dahmer, a link for his biography follows. www.biography.com/people/jeffrey-dahmer-9264755 Close relatives of Dahmer's victims are no doubt still alive, and I just think Juicy J's "simile of choice" is in poor taste. (Or am I missing something here?) Has anyone heard if there is any backlash to the reference in the song? What are your thoughts?

I haven't heard of any backlash to the song (but I did notices those lyrics when I first heard the song). But it's really no different then Beyonce using a clip of mission control during the shuttle crash at the beginning of her song XO.

In all honesty, the demographic groups most likely to listen to either song will have no first-hand knowledge of either of those two references. Nobody under the age of 35 will have any memory of the Challenger explosion. I'm 26 years old, and I vaguely remember Dahmer's death making the news when I was a child, but even then, I was too young to comprehend the details of who he was or what he had done.

Ke$ha already did it (the Jeffrey Dahmer reference) with her song Cannibal.
