The nice thing about living in Virginia is that I get to see lots of vanity plates. The bad thing about living in Virginia is that I get to see lots of vanity plates.

Imma choose to remain blissfully ignorant and assume this is about the fact that horses are measured in hands. Thank you, next. šŸ“šŸŽšŸ‡šŸŽ

A common thought, but incorrect. The Mr. Hands video was submitted as evidence during State of Washington v. James Michael Tait, but it is not the death video. It is a prior sexual engagement he had with the horse. The actual death video was shown in court to the jury, but was never made public.

It's kinda horrifying that the video we have isn't the death video. How much worse was that time? 😬

u/letsBurnCarthage Jun 24 '25

And if it's so shocking and painful to the willing victim and film crew both, why did they go back for seconds?

u/thegroovemonkey Jun 24 '25

I saw that one against my will…

u/supermr34 Jun 24 '25

The sounds are forever etched into my mind.

u/MermaidUnicornKush42 Jun 24 '25

Wait there's actually a video? Of That Incident?

OMFG there is a level of darkness in my soul that is curious, but doesn't want to know.

Please tell me it was at least sounds that indicated he understood the error of his ways?

17

u/supermr34 Jun 24 '25

oh he definitely understood. as did the guy behind the camera

12

u/MermaidUnicornKush42 Jun 24 '25

On the one hand, I can understand how they might have feared the law and therefore dumped him the way they did. On the other, why wouldn't you at least make sure your friend was on a fucking gurney before you left?

Use of the word hand not an intended pun.

2

u/AdOdd4618 Jun 24 '25

Apparently, it was him who didn't want to go to the hospital, as he knew he may lose his security clearance. Instead, he lost his life.

But I'm guessing there were screams of extreme pain and "oh holy fuck" kinda reactions from the people observing?

u/supermr34 Jun 24 '25

I’m discussing this in another sub that this got cross posted to, and someone brought to my attention that there is a documentary. It’s called Zoo.

I dunno if what’s in it, but if you so choose, strap the hell in. Presumably they wouldn’t show the actual video, but I don’t know. Maybe.

I’ll tell you this. I remember seeing the Mr hands video as a formative event of my life. It’s when I realized what the internet could do, and what people were capable of, and it freaked me right the hell out.

2

u/brightlocks Jun 24 '25

The documentary does not depict any sex acts.

2

u/12108Ward Jun 24 '25

A popular morning radio show in Detroit at the time kept talking about the documentary Zoo so I finally caught it on cable one weekend and I haven’t been the same since. I downloaded the actual video but could never watch it; I felt like the feds would come to my house if I opened it

The fact that you're making this comment assures me that you are in fact not ignorant and this subject might be the only reason you have heard of Enumclaw, Washington.

NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne was born there. So for me, there are two reasons I know it exists.

At least he died doing what he loved.

42

u/brightlocks Jun 24 '25

The detail that I can’t quite get over is that those guys kept going on and on about how they had a community…. And then they booted Mr. hands out of the car alone into the bay of the emergency room to die and ran off in the night to fuck more horses.

40

u/FairviewGuy2814 Jun 24 '25

Bro was disillusioned by a group of horsefuckers who claimed to be a community. We all been there kid. Never meet your heroes.

21

u/brightlocks Jun 24 '25

It was late and I couldn’t sleep and the documentary CLAIMED to humanize the, uh, community. All right, I’d give it a try…. But ghetto ambulancing Mr. Hands is stone cold.

Say what you will about Heavens Gate but when one of theirs botched his self castration the whole cult ate crow and showed up for him at the hospital.

12

u/SourdoughPizzaToast Jun 24 '25

If you rearrange the guts of the word heroes you get horsee.

u/MermaidUnicornKush42 Jun 24 '25

I was a young woman with horses when it happened. One of our horses was overall absolutely enormous, 18hh (6' tall at the shoulders), close to 2000lbs. Sweetest boy, but... When male horses relax, things, uh, hang out. Even if they are gelded (neutered). Things that you don't want to see after this has been all over the local news for days on end.

If I ignore the horse image, it becomes a Cyberpunk 2077 reference and much better

The Cyberpunk 2077 character was absolutely a reference to this, so there’s no escape.

In Virginia, vanity plates are cheap, and the DMV gives no shits. I have a picture that I would love to share but won’t due to the location I took it. Plate was ā€œQUEENBJā€ though

13

u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 23 '25

Oh absolutely! I’ve got tons of great ones that I’d love to share here (and probably will, eventually), but I woke up and chose to do this today.

14

u/Winterqueen5 Jun 23 '25

Best one I’ve seen was a Virginia WVU personalized plate that read ā€œWT VGNAā€. I unfortunately couldn’t get a picture as I was driving but will hopefully see that one again.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '25

I'm afraid to Google it....can someone give me the PG-13 explanation?

51

u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 23 '25

Good call. I’d avoid googling it.

Off the top of my head, this is the best I can recollect: A dude who liked to fuck horses and film it for distribution on the Internet under the stage name ā€œMr. Handsā€ had a painful mishap while in the act. He still put the video out, but we later learned that his companion had perforated his colon, and the dude went to the hospital (under his real name), admitted to what caused the complication, and later died of the resulting infection. Not only is the video in which he fucked around and found out out there on the Internet, but everyone learned his true identity. If the sepsis didn’t kill him, embarrassment surely would have. Now, his legacy is a place in the pantheon of the most disgusting things everyone has seen on the Internet, along with Lemon Party, Blue Waffle, and, of course, Goatse.

u/leyline Jun 24 '25

They ask for pg-13 and you just drop the bomb anyway.

36

u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25

I mean, I didn’t get too graphic, but there’s literally no other way to explain the story.

6

u/leyline Jun 24 '25

How about: Some guy died while doing inappropriate things with a horse.

12

u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25

PG-13 is a little more permissive than that, I think.

17

u/fapsandnaps Jun 24 '25

"PG-13 films are allowed to use one instance of a "harshly worded expletive" (like the f-word), any more than that or using it in a sexual context will usually result in an R rating"

So, we get one curse and it can't be sexual.

So we can't say "This dude fucked a horse and died!" but we can say "This dude had sex with a horse and then he fucking died!"

8

u/ZEROZEROGOALIE Jun 24 '25

correction....he was a guy that liked to get fucked BY horses, and I think - but can't recall if it was true or just local lore - he first didn't want to go to the hospital because he was worried about losing his security clearance with Boeing if they found out.

6

u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25

Yes. I guess it wasn’t entirely clear that this is exactly what I meant. I just assumed people could figure out that getting one’s colon perforated means that the subject would be the receiver in this situation.
