Museum billed as celebration of London women opens as Jack the Ripper exhibit

Never eat in a restaurant with picture menus

It could be like that scene from 'Restaurant at the end of the universe', only with a leather-clad sub on a hostess trolley asking which bits you want and how they should be prepared. A little pre-dinner conversation could add to the customer experience.

Pure magic:

because well dur, to be sexual violence, it had to be about rape of sexy women innit.


because the selection of only female victims, of a certain class and profession, who posed his victims when he had the time and had a particular interest in cutting up the bits of them that were particular to the female anatomy cannot be evidence that this was sexual violence. because fuckwit says so. because sexual violence is in his mind about penetrative sex

ok?


well, I suppose it does say something positive about him that he's doing this shit out of naivety, he isn't so completely fucked up that he wants to defend the honour of someone who gets a thrill out of slicing a woman open to fondle her uterus while she bleeds to death on the floor. (there's a bloody good reason the ripper became so notorious at the time of his murders - the details of what he did are pretty much about as bad as it gets in this sort of case - even Mr crime writer who reads and writes about stuff like this for a living goes rather greyish at the details.)


but this nugget does need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up and learn a bit more before pronouncing judgement.

The newspapers in Victorian England would never have come out and said that the women were sexually abused through vaginal rape even if they were. At best they may have said they were 'outraged', assuming the journalist even cared enough to overcome the morals of the time of the victims' professions (sex workers could not be raped) and write even that.

In any case, isn't the fact that these women were brutally murdered enough?

Jesus fucking wept that has got to be the most idiotic defence ever.

And when it comes to the topic of the JTRM, that is a particularly crowded field.

If a mass rapist was suddenly struck down with a bad case of postmodernism and given the keys to a PR agency, the Ripper Museum is pretty much what you'd expect for Project #1.

 

[cesare]

That PR agency is only about a month old, according to the other half who had a snoop.

There was a review on trip advisor that said it was like a bad sixth form project.

"And after you've visited our stomach churning exhibition, why not snap, crackle and pop along to the ultimate cereal experience? BOGOF".

They're missing a trick if they haven't installed a franchised Cereal Killer bar in the basement imo

Saw some stuff on twitter yesterday about accusations of them using sock puppet accounts too for another of those they represent.

Twitter; distilling human stupidity into 140 characters or less.

I imagine they'll be wanting to add people traffickers to their client list.

Pfft according to their PR isn't not "people trafficking" it's "personal relocation adjustment with a unique profit sharing arrangement."

That is so stupid, we now know Jack the Ripper had nothing to do with sexual violence according to their PR firm.
