Fr Roger Matassoli, 91, was found dead on 4 November at his home near Beauvais, choked by a crucifix stuffed down his throat. There were also multiple blows to his body. A 19-year-old suspect named Alexandre was soon arrested but has been held in hospital because he appeared delirious.

A month later, the suspect’s father told a newspaper the priest had abused him years ago and still influenced him as an adult. Matassoli later abused Alexandre and had him clean his house while naked.

The father, given the pseudonym Stéphane by the daily Le Parisien, said the abuse had worsened Alexandre’s mental problems. Stéphane’s own father – Alexandre’s grandfather – took his life on learning his son was abused and Stéphane has attempted suicide himself.

Dig that non-apology:

quote:

In an emailed statement to WTOP later Friday, MGA Entertainment founder and CEO Isaac Larian said, “I am extremely upset to hear about our fans’ negative experience with the L.O.L. Surprise! Glamper. Safety is a top priority when we develop our products, which must pass third-party toy testing and all applicable safety requirements before they’re shipped to retailers.”

Larian added that there is a caution sticker on the toy, and even though the product “was fully compliant as originally sold, in an abundance of care, we have now re-designed the button mechanism to prevent any possibility of finger capture.”

Yes, bringing a makeup mirror is the most important thing when *checks notes* camping.

"Glamping" is a actual thing pinstagram influencers and rich kids do where you pay thousands of bucks for a "all inclusive outdoors experience" in a yurt-shaped hotel room complete with professional chefs to cook your food, and professional photographers to get you the perfect shots of the campfire building workshop or whatever for your 'gram.

There are of course versions that target male fragility too, in a sort of capitalist exploitative cargo-culting of the 1980s men's movement "sweat lodge and totem pole" stuff but without all the psychological/philosophical stuff because Iron John isn't on Blinkist.
