Is russel brand where looksmaxxing came from or something. Look at his fucking face it’s like that squidworth meme
The future is fuckin’ weird.
…are you telling me these pubes are worthless?
Following an inundation of inquiries on how to purchase the pubic display following the publication of this article, Wynd says he has decided to donate them to Littledean Jail, the crime museum in the Forest of Dean.
Apparently they do have monetary value, but I assume the reason they were not sold is ethics
Someone’s parents is going in the chilli
Why were there in a first place? “Look, this is Van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers, an this is Russell Brand’s Pubic Hair”!!! WTF!
Viktor Wynd, the eccentric collector behind the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History in Hackney, confirmed that he removed the unusual artifact from his collection in the wake of Brand’s legal troubles.
“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.”
Seems like this piece was fishing for the exact reaction it got. Kind of just a reheated Piss Christ if I’m being critical but it’s certainly art.
???
???
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.
I’d prefer they just have Russell in a cage in the museum than in jail. Let people spit on him for the rest of his pitiful existence like he deserves.
Sensible isn’t really what they were going for.
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?
Consecutive or concurrent
Why the fuck was it there in the first place?
It’s not the “London Museum (known from 1976 to 2024 as the Museum of London)”, but a London museum (Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History in Hackney).
Oh, well that makes a little more sense, but only because there’s nothing natural about that weirdo.
If only there was some kind of link you could click to get more info about the story. But alas, we shall never know.
So, that’s a museum I don’t need to visit. I’m quickly bored by art museums, though I respect them. I love history museums. This? Wtf.
Bah, the world would be a boring and stupider place if people only pursued easy and obvious art. This guy has the courage to try something weird but also the humility to acknowledge when it stops working and kill a particular piece. I wish Harry Potter fans had the same sense of responsibility.
Russell Brand’s pubic hair is no longer on display at a London museum of curiosities
I’m sorry, his WHAT?!
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”.
And the world of curation takes another hit…
Uhhhh
Wut.
even I have limits
Obviously not since he had “Russell Brand’s pubic hair” on display.
