Check it out, it's quite good. E: well gently caress it's no longer sticky, but the thread is "Pick's Book of Death Fun Hunt" or some such. You can't miss it.

I think Jared Leeto might finally soon be outed for being a pedophile, abusive, piece of poo poo. It's one of those worst kept Hollywood secrets thing. But he literally harassed his coworkers, degraded his fans live on stage multiple times and started a cult so I dont know if anything will ever impact this man's career.

I don't know if I've posted her before in this thread but I really enjoy all of Caitlin Doughty's "Ask a Mortician" videos where she doesn't shy away from really graphic depictions of what happens to the body after death but she's so death-positive and funny it never gets like depressing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe9l-xtBX0w A lot of it is the politics of bodies too and she has an entire playslist of Famous Corpses where the story behind what happened to celebrities or politicians after death can be nutty as hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVgumSUZQRI

Who the gently caress wears a "Camp Auschwitz" t-shirt, even ironically? I guess I have the same issues with this as I do with the confederate flag. Besides the obvious racist symbolism, you're saying you sided with the losers of a war, who also advocated slavery and genocide. Mentally ill just doesn't describe it well enough.

Bland American Actor #717010, Armie Hammer, has been DMing several women for years saying he loves the idea of killing and eating them, which he swore was just gossip until one of his exes verified that he got off on licking her wounds and the idea of breaking/eating her bones. There are also graphic threats, of r*pe and “you belong to me so if I want to break your neck I can”-level poo poo.

Why do so many famous people seem to be completely loving bonkers? I know part of it is that they're rich and can sidestep consequences with that, but for gently caress's sake. How do they think poo poo like this is never going to get out?

He's the descendant of Armand Hammer, who at one point became a controlling member of the board of directors of the company which produces Arm and Hammer baking soda. Armand Hammer had close ties to the soviet union and was a lifelong republican donor but also was great friends with Al Gore sr. When you are rich is hell you can play every field simultaneously I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand_Hammer Honestly the article is pretty unnerving just for how little sense this dude's life makes, given what I thought I knew about politics. I'm sure there's a deep well of conspiracy theories involving this guy.

The longer you are able to get off on terrorizing people without consequences, the more you escalate and the more extreme your "tastes" become as what used to give you a rush becomes mundane.

Armie Hammer is named after his great-grandfather Armand Hammer, who initially had no relationship with the company that makes Arm & Hammer products, but later bought enough of the company to become a member of the board purely because people kept asking him “oh, are you the Arm & Hammer guy?” and he decided it was easier to buy part of the company so he could say “yes” than to keep dealing with their questions.

However, the Arm & Hammer company's brand name did not originate with Armand Hammer. It was in use 31 years before Hammer was born.[35] He was spurred to buy shares in the company as a result of often being asked about the brand being so close to his name.[36][37]

Fans of long-form media writing about creepy people may be interested in Ten Long Years of Trying to Make Armie Hammer Happen.quote:It’s the sort of Twitter conversation that, in 2017, makes heroes out of otherwise unremarkable Twitter celebrities. But it also helped launch what has since coalesced into a sort of Cult of Hammer — a new, if unexpected, route to Making Armie Hammer Happen. Take the Vulture post, published just days later, entitled “11 Delectable Armie Hammer Stories.” It simply lists examples of how Hammer has narrativized himself in ways that are kooky or weird or simply non-Hollywood: “He insists he doesn’t have a trust fund,” “He was on the receiving end of nonconsensual knife play,” and the most delectable of all, “He once liked a bunch of bondage tweets,” referring to Hammer’s Twitter penchant, written up by Cosmopolitan in March 2017 under the headline “Armie Hammer keeps ‘liking’ BDSM Twitter Posts and Doesn’t Know Everyone Can See It.”

How do they think poo poo like this is never going to get out? Hollywood, like capitalism and politics, rewards sociopathy. Which is why, when poo poo like this does get out, the perpetrator often feels it’s sufficient to just say “Nope, that didn’t happen”, even when there’s overwhelming evidence. Because not only is it reflexive to lie and avoid consequences with no regard for the victim’s emotions, but there are also agents and publicists and PR people who will reinforce the lie and do everything they can to attack the person who dared to come forward. Then any consequences they face aren’t internalized as a lesson learned, but instead as a vendetta against the victim for ruining everything. PERMACAV 50 posted:Fans of long-form media writing about creepy people may be interested in Ten Long Years of Trying to Make Armie Hammer Happen. Somehow it’s personally frustrating how many “chances” he got despite being fully mediocre.

Yeah, its the same escalation spiral often associated with porn addicts, except when you're rich you dont have to jack it to imaginary extreme stuff like dicknipple hentai, you can do crazy things irl like have a team at MIT trying to determine how to make sure you impregnate as many women as possible, which I'm pretty sure is a real thing Epstein did.
