[JVS]

That isn't funny at all then. The story I heard was that everything had been legal. Sorry for my mistake

1. No

[kick-ass-bob]

rather than a funny feeling...

[bobbobbins]

3. yeah, not funny

8. .

Arbuckle was one of the major stars of the silent screen when he was charged
with the rape and resulting death of an obscure 25-year-old starlet named
Virginia Rappe at a drunken party on Labor Day weekend in 1921. The details were
shocking, the rumors more so: that Arbuckle had torn Virginia's insides with his
266-pound weight; that his drunkenness had alternately rendered him unable to
perform, whereupon he angrily violated the girl with a wine bottle, or a Coke
bottle, or worst of all, with a jagged piece of ice. When all was said and done,
however, Arbuckle was acquitted in his third trial. He was free, but his career
was over, and he died in 1933 having never regained his former popularity.

6. I think this tasteless as hell

I love it

[terrya]

7. No, references to rape isn't all that funny.

At least to me.

[JVS]

9. From the story I heard it was consensual kinkyness gone wrong

[Zuni]

12. I read about it too

In my opinion, Fatty was innocent

Half of the accusation were myths---they never happened

[JVS]

15. Well. I'm not sure. I didn't realize that it was disputable before today

all I had heard was that there had been an accident and the controversy ruined his career. I didn't know how serious this was

18. You got class. Thanks.

:thumbsup:

[Susang]

14. So that makes posting a picture of a bloody coke bottle okay?

Sorry, just not buying it.

[JVS]

19. I thought that it was a picture more in the spirit of the enema jokes that

prevailed here in the wake of guy dying from sherry enemas. If I had known that there were indeed serious allegations of foul play, I'd have realized that the picture is not funny at all, as I can see now. I'm very sorry for my mistake

[progmom]

10. i agree

:spank:

[JVS]

11. My mistake.

[Richardo]

[terrya]
