Why... why would anyone want that??

I've read some fucked up shit in my time, but every now and then i have to ask, why?? what the fuck is wrong with you.

It was on the life-sized T-Rex statue. He broke in one night and they found him going to town on the T-Rex. The cleaning crew just hasn't gotten around to washing it properly.

His next court appearance will be for indecency with a T-Rex and he could get another 2 years.

Should I keep going?

At what point did the museum think that it was an appropriate or sensible item to have on display?

The rest of the quote:

“I took them straight off display and have no desire to hear his name again – he has no place in my museum of horrors,” Wynd told Variety on Wednesday afternoon. “My museum is full of disgusting things but even I have limits.”

Wouldn't they be an even better fit for a museum of horrors now?

Despite the name, Museum of Horror only associated with cool monster, not a real one.

There’s a Crime Museum (formerly known as the “Black Museum”) at New Scotland Yard, housing infamous murder weapons and the like. Such an exhibit may be appropriate there, if anywhere.

Sensible isn’t really what they were going for.

Why the fuck was it there in the first place?

If only there was some kind of link you could click to get more info about the story. But alas, we shall never know.

Russell Brand’s pubic hair is no longer on display at a London museum of curiosities

I'm sorry, his WHAT?!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 hour ago

His public chair.

Why didn't they try to do black magic with it? Etsy witches could use some practice.

Disingenuous headlines suck. I'm finding I'm not even clicking on the good ones anymore due to my cynicism and the feel that good journalism has died and been replaced by "clicks for hate".

even I have limits

Obviously not since he had "Russell Brand’s pubic hair" on display.
