Finally, Roman Polanski Gets the Cartoon Justice He Deserves

Roman Polanski may be a free man, but that doesn't mean he's escaped judgment altogether. The filmmaker, whom Swiss authorities released from house arrest after declining to extradite him to the U.S., is now the subject of an interactive cartoon series that lets you sentence him from the comfort of home. And when execution by killer whale is an option, why wouldn't you?

Regardless of where you fall on the Polanski-justice spectrum, The Angry Mob's latest choose-your-own-death-sentence effort is irresistibly dark fun. Letting him go hardly seems like an option when beating by a bloodthirsty mob or exposure to the Jacuzzi of Doom are both at your disposal. (Mel Gibson will presumably get the latter as well if/when his turn comes around.)

More thrilling still is a visit with Tillikum the Killer Whale, whose human-snacking tendencies are retrofitted here with a scimitar and a mace. It's a truly cathartic experience for the anti-Polanski crowd, while the director's supporters can have their morbid laugh for the day. Or save his ass, if you really feel like you have to. Trust me, though -- you won't.
