If Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer Could Get A Date With Ariana Grande, Why Can't I?

International pop superstar, and smokeshow, Ariana Grande said some disturbing stuff in a recent podcast appearance. On You actor Penn Badgley's "Podcrushed" podcast, Grande said she'd like to go on a dinner date with one of the scariest humans ever, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. 

Ariana talks about how she "was infatuated with serial killers when I was younger." She continues, "[in a] Q&A with fans, with young fans at the time … With a parent, someone said, ‘If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be’"? 

Grande asks the kid's parents "Mom and Dad, is it okay if I give the real answer"? They answered, "Sure, I guess. What's the answer"? Then, I s*** you not, Ariana replied with, "Ummm, I mean Jeffrey Dahmer is pretty fascinating". What the actual f---, Grande? 

She can hide behind the "What? I just want to pick his brain" nonsense all she wants. Because, out of all the people Ariana could've chosen, Dahmer may actually be the worst. I guess Adolf Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, and Osama bin Laden may top Dahmer,  but that's kind of "splitting hairs" at that point, right? 

If I were that kid's father, I would've bolted to the exit immediately. Listening to her music is one thing. However, apparently, saying normal things among children is challenging for Grande. Ahh, well. I'm not a parent nor is she a school teacher. 

So, my approval rating for Ariana remains intact, unlike Dahmer's victims. Ayo, too soon? All jokes aside, I'd let Grande go Dahmer on one of my family members for a date with her. 

(Alright, that's another joke). 

For the record, I can't name a single song by the two-time Grammy Award winner. That said, she is objectively talented and fine as hell. Ariana's Saturday Night Live bits are hilarious and her Musical Genre Challenge on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is fantastic. 

Ultimately, Grande's talents outweigh her craziness. Again, I wouldn't hire her as a babysitter. Nevertheless, she has an open invitation to join me in watching true-crime documentaries, serial killer fan fiction, or even CNN. 

Okay, that's going a little too far, but you get my point.
