St. Ted is one of a kind, no one could possibly take his place.
Serial killers are a dime a dozen these days, it is rare that a
serial killer behaves so heinously as to become a celebrity.

St. Charlie comes to mind, although he didn't personally kill
anyone, his disciples killed a celebrity then made the crime
even more newsworthy by carving symbols into her flesh and
writing words in blood on the walls and doors.  St. Jeffrey
is newsworthy for being a rare homosexual serial killer and
also eating his victims.  The viewers especially love
cannibalism, some of the most famous serial killers have all
been cannibals - St. Albert, St. Ed, and St. Jeffrey are all
in the serial killer hall of fame.

Writing a manifesto is not necessarily interesting in itself,
many serial killers write something, but they are usually
long, rambling, incoherent paranoid rants.  St. Ted's
manifesto was quite different, it outlined the destruction
of industrial society and made such a convincing and well-
written argument in favor of it that it's hard to dismiss it
as the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic.  And he only
killed 3 people, nothing but an amateur in terms of serial
killing.  If anything, he is a revolutionary, he kills not
because he enjoys killing, but because he feels it is
necessary to advance his political agenda.

You can call him a terrorist, he even refers to himself as
"the terrorist group FC."  But his targets were carefully
selected, he was not the mundane serial killer who picks up
random prostitutes to murder, each of St. Ted's victims were
chosen to advance his revolutionary struggle to overthrow
the technological-industrial system.

And to ramble slightly, the Reverend Marilyn Manson (Church
of Satan) teaches that all people really care about are
dead celebrities and serial killers.  Especially if the
serial killer kills celebrities, hence Marilyn (Monroe) and
(Charles) Manson.

are changing the world, and you wouldn't have been dumb enough to open
an unexpected package from an unknown source!"
