MrFisksays...*terrible
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Terrible) - requested by MrFisk.
MrFisksays...More here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1221077/Katie-Piper-Acid-attack-victim-bravely-shows-face-disfigured-boyfriend-Daniel-Lynch.html
gwiz665says...Oh man, that sucks. It's interesting that it's often the boyfriends who do something like this.. crazies.
NordlichReitersays...At times like this I can only utter one thing that can assuage my distrust for the other members of the Homo Genus who cannot control their Envy.
I'm an Atheist and yet I still find certain passages of the fiction truly appropriate.
Revenge is never the answer, but goddammit if it doesn't feel appropriate.
It is good to see that she has recovered, and woe unto those who thought they could stop her.
westysays...I wonder if people wud be interested in her if she was a proper minger before the rape and acid attack .

Interesting, something to contemplate.
Also, I am interested in what that plastic apparatus is that she is wearing. Does any one know what that is called?
Found an article on it, the plastic mask, developed in Queen Mary's University Hospital is used to reduce the scaring caused by burns.
chilaxesays...Life is dangerous. Don't mess around. Don't date steroid addicts and retards. The stakes are high, and all it takes is one mistake...
I was surprised when I read they had been giving life sentences. As you'd expect though, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be incarcerated for very long:
Raaaghsays...yikes. tough fucking break. tough chick.
She had a face for tv fo sure.
alizarinsays...Pretty impressive:
‘Now, though, I realise my life before was so superficial. I used to refuse to go out if I had a spot on my face. Now I wish a spot was all I had to worry about. There are people who point and stare. One man even knocked my sun hat off and laughed at me. Those times hurt, but I won’t let them get me down. I’d like to be able to have a husband and family one day. I can’t live a life of regret.’
Trancecoachsays...Beauty, itself, wields enormous power -- and, in some sense, it seems that this accident has made this once-beautiful-turned-freakshow woman realize what power she had by taking it from her.
If only all beautiful women, beautiful people, were able to recognize this power without having to lose it.
I honestly think a lot of deep and profound aspects of our society and culture would change as a result.
paganif1says...who the fuck just has some acid chilling and goes yea, that would look better on someone's face?!?!?! For seriously wtf?!
QuadraPixelsays...The most terrifying part of the interview was the huge spider broach she was wearing
joe2says...this happens thousands of times a year but the victims aren't pretty white girls from London
blankfistsays...Humanity.

It's a face warmer.
chilaxesays...In 15 or 30 years, science will give her the face she wants using stem cell-based treatments. (Assuming civilization doesn't experience a greater slow-down than we've seen already in the last year.) Her condition is temporary.
That kind of progress is happening before our eyes:
"Groundbreaking Stem Cell Surgery Gives Boy New Cheekbones: Genetic Defect Causes Underdeveloped Facial Bones, Tissues." ABC News, Oct. 2009.
choggiesays...Have someone off the freak in prison-Wait till he gets out, stalk him, run him down with a car.
rottenseedsays...I think for a crime like this, an eye for an eye is an ok punishment. They should both experience acid baths.
Furthermore, models these days should carry mace-spray cans filled with a weak base so that if this happens to them, they can neutralize the acid (patent pending).
silvercordsays...>> ^joe2:
this happens thousands of times a year but the victims aren't pretty white girls from London
Yes, and while I doubt it's 'thousands of times a year,' they are increasing and they are mostly women from Islamic societies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_throwing
http://vitalvoicesonline.org/blog/2009/07/28/acid-attacks-against-women-on-the-rise/
But I don't think that just because there are not enough western reporters to cover these other attacks doesn't mean that it should be minimized or ignored when it happens to someone white.
longdesays...It's not being minimized or ignored. If anything, compared to the average victim, its being overhyped.
chilaxesays...>> ^longde:

We do try to raise awareness of acid attack victims internationally, but we're much more closely connected to things that occur in our own society. Other societies might tell us to butt out of their affairs, for example by pursuing U.N. legislation against criticizing Islam, but things that happen to our more immediate neighbors are more within our own domain of responsibility.
Sagemindsays...I don't understand how anyone can fathom coming up the idea of doing this.
How absolutely messed up in the head does someone have to be to completely ruin a person in such a demoralizing and permanent way? How could a person wish this on anyone. I am sickened by the concept that a human being just like me/you can disregard another persons rights so completely as to invoke such complete hatred.
silvercordsays...>> ^longde:

My response to Joe2 didn't indicate that the story was being minimized or ignored. My response was to his phrase 'pretty white girls from London.' I think that is the attitude that minimizes her plight. Less press coverage on Katie Piper isn't the answer. I'm guessing she doesn't think it's being overhyped. More reporting on the whole issue is what is needed . . . not less on this individual case. And if it comes through her story, what is that to us?
If she wishes, she can probably become the poster child for this type of violent crime and raise a worldwide awareness. Should that not happen because she's a "pretty white girl from London?" Of course, that would require more courage yet from her; likely more courage than you or I will be asked to muster out of our puny frames in this lifetime. I hope she does it, though. When the tide comes in, all the boats rise.
choggiesays...^Chilaxe had the right idea with the impetus involving synaptic misfire caused by steroid use...factor in individual physiology and imprints, and it's a simian waiting to explode-poor girl, poor tax-groveleers that pay the system that houses the perpetrators a day past TOMORROW
Mookalsays...Burn baby, burn.
The a-holes that committed the act, I mean.
Farhad2000says...*dead

silvercordsays...Rise Lazarus! Come forth! Not dead!
fjulessays...Yes, isn't it interesting that suddenly she just wants to find a nice guy to settle down with. I bet there were many nice guys for you to settle down with before the acid attack, but you had to whore around with the macho apes.
Also, would there be such media coverage if an ugly girl got sprayed with acid?
BTW - I'm don't really mean this, I'm just telling you what 4chan told me.
Deanosays...It's an interesting juxtaposition of images the News of the World has put together and I wonder how one of the countries notorious tabloids is framing this.
Of course you can't help but feel for her immensely and it entirely diminishes your own problems (at least it does from my perspective).
I have no doubt her case wouldn't have attracted media coverage if she'd been older, less attractive or anything other than a young attractive blond. It seems to be the way of the world. We require mental shortcuts to understand complex issues and here we have the embodiment of violence towards women. If good comes out of that then so be it. Silvercord makes that point far better than me.
yourhydrasays...omg...too bad this didn't happen in Texas.
(what i mean by that is..so those guys would get the death penalty...jeez...not that I want Texan gilrs to get acid on their face...idiots)
yourhydrasays...*this happens thousands of times a year but the victims aren't pretty white girls from London*
havin' a lil resentment for the beautiful people are we?
Paybacksays...This video pisses me off.
I can't make a joke about it without looking like a douchebag.
MrFisksays...I fail to see what isn't terrible about this.
arghnesssays...The terrible invocation is for terrible production qualities, not for something that is actually terrible.
ForgedRealitysays...I hope those pricks are raped, bukkake'd and murdered in prison. Them and everyone like them deserve to die.
I am not joking.
Tymbrwulfsays...Terms of use *dead
