Darwin candidates

Although I've always been an opponent of the death penalty, I sometimes wish that we still had it (or legal castration) just so that some people could get a Darwin Award. In an article in that paragon of socially conscientious reporting, The Sun, I read that three British teenagers raped a local woman while she was semi-conscious after they spiked her drink. This is just normal subhuman behaviour and doesn't qualify you for a Darwin Award, just a long time in prison, preferably with a large person with eclectic sexual preferences. What should have won them the award was that they filmed the rape and put it on YouTube.

Incidentally, there was a similar case of date-rape (indeed celebrity date-rape) on the Internet here in Turkey a few years ago. As far as I remember, the perp is inside now, and given the way rapists are treated by fellow-prisoners in Turkey, he may even qualify for a Darwin.
