5 People Who Bragged About Awful Crimes Via 'Art'
The world is full of terrible things, things like ugly people and responsibility and consequences. Fortunately, money and fame have always acted as a force field against these afflictions. Hundred dollar bills work like a Kevlar vest against the bullets of hardship, provided hardship doesn’t decide to shoot you in the head. In the spirit of Zero Accountability, the following is a timeline of five wealthy or renowned people throughout history so far removed from responsibility that they were able to commit horrible crimes and then earn more wealth and renown out of unapologetically bragging about them.
Casanova
Crime: Incest
Look Giacomo, sex is not that answer to everything.
"…On the other side of the bed undresses completely and gets in next to her, saying that as her father I was at liberty to see all my handiwork. Her mother is proud of her, she praises her, and she rejoices to see that I find her beautiful. It sufficed her that she was in the middle and that it was only upon her that I extinguished the fire with which she saw that I was burning. Leonilda's curiosity delighted me to the soul. …Moved to pity, Leonilda sends her mother's little soul on its flight with one hand and with the other puts a white handkerchief under her gushing father."
Soren Kierkegaard
Crime: Statutory RapeThere’s something about Olsens.
“I made you rabbit, Soren.”
Louis Althusser
Crime: Strangling His Wife“You’re dwelling on the corporal while I’m trying to engage you in the metaphysical, dude.”
“I pressed my thumbs into the hollow at the top of the breastbone and then, still pressing, slowly moved them both, one to the left, the other to the right, up towards her ears where the flesh was hard. I continued massaging her in a V-Shape. The muscles in my forearms began to feel very tired… Hélène’s face was calm and motionless; her eyes were open and staring at the ceiling.”
Amy Fisher
Attempted Murder
Out of desperation to stay relevant, Fisher went on talk shows to meet with the Buttafuoco’s again. She also leaked a sex tape and started a career as a stripper where she promised to donate some of her tips to Haiti relief. All of these flickers in her dark life were attempts to get the world to look at her again and remember that she was once that little girl who shot that nice woman in the head.
