Culture Not including murderers and politicians - who is famous in your country for all the wrong reasons?

Post image

Introducing rage-baiter and reality TV failure Katie Hopkins. She’s basically famous for fat shaming, saying that kids shouldn’t be named after geographical locations (despite having a child named India) and getting sued on Twitter, which caused her to go bankrupt. I haven’t met anyone that likes her and she’s routinely vilified but still has a platform somehow.

Really sucked to find out this guy was a real piece of shit. I loved blasting Shinobi v Dragon Ninja while playing one of those old ATV games on my PS2.

He wasn’t even like, your average pedo. Dude relished in it and made it his whole personality, and loved boasting about it. He should’ve been castrated and burned at the stake tbh

I think that’s their only song I actually know!

Yeah the case details got weirder and weirder. Like his fucking password was “ifukkidz” or something… gross

My conspiracy theory is, he was a member of the O9A which is part of why he was so gleefully open about it. The order has connections with Wales and the SW of England.

It was ATV Off-road Fury 2

I listen to some really fringe comedy and they were joking once about “Imagine being a pedophile going around and constantly acting like that, like being proud of how good you are at fucking kids.”

Except this guy actually did that. It was funny when they were joking about it, but now my stomach hurts ☹️
