Why he might be annoying:

He was orphaned at 5 and wet his bed until he was a teenager.
He convinced himself that he was a real bad person, and felt that the only way to atone was to punish himself for his sins.
Among his ways of self punishment were inserting needles into his groin, scrotum, and anus and eating human feces.
Eventually, he turned this psychotic behavior against children.
He molested almost 400 children.
He fell in love with 12 year old Grace Budd.
Although he never raped her, he did murder her (1928).
He regretted his choice to kill her unmolested, so he ate her bit by bit.

Why he might not be annoying:

He was electrocuted.
The first time they tried to electrocute him, the electric chair short circuited from all the metal objects (needles) in his body.
He died with a full erection.
