“Dan Reed says the success of the Michael Jackson biopic is proof ‘people don’t care that he was a child molester’”
Not to split hairs but I don’t remember Jackson having a corpse disposal ocean trap door or having extensive email chains with people that really make it look like he was eating human flesh
Still fucking disgusting that his estate is acting like this though
Still, it’s aged like milk. I’m currently reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons (1989) and the drives in that book are called Hawking Drives. Way cooler — though, I think there were also some allegations against Stephen Hawking.
Hitler was an artist, but it’s not what he’s remembered for. (I’ll never forget the Justified episode about the Jewish art collector who collected Hitler’s art. I won’t spoil the ending, but it was very educational and the ending was very fitting.) Now, Hitler has family living in the west. They’ve since changed their name. The name is tainted and it may always be. I’m not sure it’ll be okay for someone to be named Hitler in 500 years. But who knows. I think if a “Hitler” cured cancer, he or she wouldn’t attribute it to that name.
Yeah it’s fucked up, just because of the sheer number of scientific discoveries by Epsteins. Then this guy comes along and now the name is only associated with him and his crimes.
Also, I thought of a common one: Epstein-Barr.
I don’t want to make light of the situation, but since you mentioned it, there is a certain dark humour in the fact that the Epstein-Barr virus is transmitted mainly via kissing.
