UGLY WORLD: 8
THE MUTTER MUSEUM
The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia is an entire museum dedicated to medical
oddities, old-fashioned terrifying medical equipment, strange fetuses in jars of
formaldehyde, conjoined fetuses, and a tapeworm I can fit into (not an
exaggeration). If
 anything
embodies Ugly World it is the Mutter Museum, as it has the inherent
contradiction of this column of being beautiful and ugly. In an illustrated
2002 coffee table book (yes I have this on my coffee table and no I don’t have
visitors), grotesque freaks of nature are photographed in beautiful black and
white, strange skin conditions are reconstructed using wax and other mediums --
the Museum mixes art with reality, giving us the beautiful and the hideous.
Cherubic three-way conjoined twins glowing in bright light may terrify some but
at the Mutter Museum they make it beautiful.
According to the book, the Museum’s collection of photographs “stretch the
boundaries to find beauty not in its conventional form, but in its opposite: the
deformed, the broken, the disfigured body of those who suffer physical
abnormality, trauma, or destructive disease.” That is a summary of what
this column is all about.
The museum is located in Philadelphia, in kind of a shitty neighborhood. I
recommend taking a tour if you are nearby, but if you can’t make it check out
their book, full of deliciously grotesque images.
SUPERFETUS
Superfetus is an ugly nasty book about ugly nasty people -- and one pissed off
superfetus determined to live, despite his white trash mother’s attempts to
abort him. She is unaware she is fucking with Superfetus.
 This
novella is an extension of Adam Pepper’s short story of the same name, which was
a big hit at the Gross Out contest (see last column for a review of Wrath James
White’s Sloppy Seconds and the history of the event). The original story blew
me away (it was painful to read) and this new novella has taken the original
story elements and added in a whole new level of white trash (and some
multi-ethnic trash too!), sleaze, dysfunction, and abjection.
Everybody whines and cries and hates each other. Her life is hell on earth,
in a way that is hilarious to the reader, or at least this reader. This novella
could work as a population control device -- no one who reads it will want to
have kids. So it is impossible not to relate to the Superfetus’s mother, even
though she is the enemy of Superfetus, our hero, because you can feel and
understand her agony at the miserable life she has with too many loud family
members and not enough free time or privacy. Any good misanthrope can
understand this view of the human race as a bunch of pieces of shit in human
skin.
At the same time that I pity Superfetus’s Mommy, I can’t stand her and her
constant whining. I want to fucking hit her! It is her annoying pitiful
whining and bitching that makes me root for little Superfetus. She is adamant
that she doesn’t want another goddamn kid, so when she gets pregnant again, she
decides to have an abortion, not knowing her fetus is no mere fetus, but
Superfetus!
Sex, children, family, and life in general are all described in the most
ugly vile ways in this novella and that is why it gets an UGLY WORLD Stamp of
Motherfucking Approval. Here’s a line from Superfetus that I love, “If she
doesn’t stop soon, I swear I’m gonna rip right out of Mommy’s belly and beat the
shit outta her.”
Life, sex, children, family- all made extremely fucking ugly. And
hilarious.

MEDIA AND VIOLENCE & FLAMMABLE TEENS
Last summer, a 17-year-old UK student went
missing. This summer, his killers were put on trial for murder. A trio of
sadistic killers kidnapped him, tied him up, poured gasoline down his throat,
and all over his body, then lit him on fire. He escaped when the intense heat
of the fire burned through the ropes tying him up. He fled from the scene, on
fire, choking on burning gasoline, then collapsed and died, after which his
killers threw him into a ditch. The cause of death was not the fire but
inhalation of the gasoline. One of the killers got the idea for the
torture-murder after watching the film Severance, which featured someone
being murdered in a similar way. The killer asked if it would be wicked to kill
someone like in the film, leading to the death of the student.
Speaking of setting people on fire and the media, a Florida youth was badly
burned when some kids set him on fire. He called for help while on fire and on
the recorded phone call he can be heard screaming in agony as he burned. Over
4/5 of his body was severely burned and witnesses noticed that his skin
literally was sloughing off from the intensity of the burns. The burns were so
severe that the young teen was put into a medically induced coma, a necessary
measure to prevent death from shock and agony.
The teens who burned him threw flammable materials on him, lit him up like a
fat-ass blunt, and laughed and laughed as he burned. This was in mid 2009 and it
is not known if he will survive. If he does he faces years of plastic surgery.
Why was he set on fire? He supposedly forgot to return a video game to one of
his tormentors. These video games make kids violent! Actually, the video game
was incidental to the assault; there was just a bunch of mean kids looking for
an excuse to torment and hurt someone.
This incident reminded me of the film Bully, mentioned before in this
column, as it is a true story also dealing with bored, violent Florida youth.
It is the Sunshine state after all.
TABLOID TERRORS: I WAS A SASQUATCH SEX SLAVE
The sickies at skullvines press have been releasing some great writing recently,
including their Tabloid Terrors series, all of which feature grotesque violence
and really, really, really sick sex with various animals, monsters, and
supernatural creatures. This volume, the first of the series, involves sex
stories with the Sasquatch monster, also known as Bigfoot...
Most of the stories are by the two editors, Jerrold Balzer and S. D. Hintz, with
an additional story by Mark McLaughlin.
The first story, I Was A Sasquatch Sex Slave, involves cross-dressing, incest
fantasies, masturbating Sasquatch monsters, Sasquatch gang-bangs, Sasquatch
voyeurism and some way twisted bestial sex. A gang of Sasquatch peep on a
couple and furiously masturbate to the site. But masturbating isn’t enough --
they want more… and they get it. Soon we have Sasquatch filming a sex video and
jerking off as one of their own molests our main character. When he tells his
friend “One put his fucking cock in my mouth while the other took a picture,”
the friend responds, “You didn’t wake up with a big, hairy dick in your mouth”.
Later the narrator complains of the “taste of Bigfoot cock” in his mouth.
This is the type of obscene and funny dialogue and bizarre situation that
populates this collection of Bigfoot-fuck stories.
Freakenstein VS The Undead: Manmade Monster Found at
Ancient Burial Site by S. D. Hintz contains some hilarious puns and a parody of
Hollywood films that left me laughing, and was one of the funniest stories.
The rest of the stories are equally, if not more bizarre. You really have to
read this book to appreciate the strange, odd, sick, perverse nature of it.
This is some UGLY SHIT! Its comedy, but ugly, sick, gross and nasty comedy
that I hope my UGLY fans will like.
This novella also gets the UGLY WORLD Stamp of Motherfucking Approval. It's
fucking sick, and it's funny, and it's, above all, a lot of fun to read. If
you’ve just watched Martyrs or Irreversible and want something a
little less intense yet equally twisted than be sure and check out Tabloid
Terrors.
Also recently released -- books by Cullen Bunn and Wrath James White (see review
last column of Wrath’s Sloppy Seconds). Available at

DEXTER AND VIOLENCE
Dexter is a show made for cable television about a serial killer who
works as a blood analyst at crime scenes. He finds other serial killers, whom
he tracks down and kills. Dexter is the show’s anti-hero, and his
victims all seem to deserve to die.
 Because
of the show’s popularity, it became inevitable that it would be linked to
violent crime. Or more accurately, it became inevitable someone would blame
Dexter for a violent crime. When kids kill, their parents can’t deal so
they look for something to blame, and television and film, sex and violence is
the easiest and most convenient scapegoat.
Our first Dexter story is a pretty sick one. A 17-year-old boy brutally,
and I mean brutally (he finished the act with a 20-minute strangulation),
murdered his 10 year old brother. After dumping the corpse in a ditch he went
to his girlfriend’s house where they watched The Green Mile, a film based
on a Stephen King story involving the murder of children about the age of the
younger murdered brother. Bad Dexter! Bad Mr. King!
PERVERT OF THE MONTH, NUMBER 1
Kevin Derks of Madison, Wisconsin is a guy with a child porn shrine (you can’t
go anywhere in this guy’s house without seeing kiddie porn images). He
plastered the walls, ceiling, and every other
 surface
with various images. Every inch of the house is an image of child pornography
or something else sick involving sexual thoughts towards little girls. Included
in the images were pictures of the young Olsen twins with comments he wrote in
which the twins claimed he was cute and wanted to engage in sexual activity with
him. He would go to the beach and take pictures of young girls. It is not
known if the guy has actually molested anyone or if he is just turned on by
underage girls, but either way he gets the Pervert of the Month award.
Also found in his apartment were two store mannequins -- one was a child
mannequin -- in sexual positions, fondling each other’s genitals, a bed covered
with stuffed animals, pictures of girls he took at local beaches, tons of DVDs
of child porn, pictures of underage movie stars such as the annoying Dakota
Fanning and the Olson Twins. There were pictures of Elizabeth Smart, who was
abducted when just 14 and raped and tortured for close to a year, and most
disturbing, a Hannah Montana lamp with MAKE LOVE TO ME MOM written on the side.
OK, so he is a sick fuck, but at least he’s not a violent threat to society...
or is he? The guy with the shrine to nude sexually violated little girls also
had over 20 firearms as well as a stockpile of ammunition. What the fuck?
His reasons for this apartment shrine to child porn? As the world gets worse
and worse, he became more aware of how beautiful children are. He also found
dolls and mannequins beautiful and kept a collection of them. Derks has had
long running fantasies involving mother-daughter sex acts as well.
In a typical cowardly move one would expect from a pedophile, he fainted when
officials tried to interview him about the child pornography.
PERVERT OF THE MONTH, NUMBER 2
Tony Alamo, the psychopathic Arkansas preacher who married and deflowered
little 8 year old girls in the name of god, making this guy not just a Pervert
of the Month but Scumfuck of the Month for his religious hypocrisy and blatant
abuse of
 power.
Little girls were threatened and scared so that they wouldn’t tell on him for
molesting them. Worse, he took them across state lines to separate them from
friends and family.
Most repulsive of all: after receiving a 175-year sentence, he praised god and
then exclaimed “I’m glad I’m me” and not the deceived people of the world
who believe those little girls, whom he claims are all liars. Douche. One
woman who testified against the evangelist was just 8 when she was made a bride
to this religious pimp. Tony Alamo, the evangelist, claimed she was lying.
NECROPHILIA IN THE NEWS
David Steffen was convicted of rape and murder and sentenced to death, after
going to a young woman’s house and slashing her throat so deep he nearly severed
it from her body. He admitted to the murder but not the rape and was convicted
of both and sentenced to death. Something seemed odd about the charges. The
killer freely admitted to killing her but denied the rape. He even admitted to
attempted rape but conceded he could not achieve an erection. Yet the presence
of semen led to his rape conviction, and the rape was an aggravating factor that
led to the imposition of the death penalty. If he didn’t rape her, where did
the semen come from? Who ejaculated into the victim that night?
Kenneth Douglas, a 55-year-old morgue worker and convicted drug trafficker with
a fetish for homicide victims had fucked her corpse prior to the autopsy, while
she was still freshly dead. Problem solved. Police are now going over the
files to see if there had been any other false convictions caused by Douglas’s
necrophiliac activity. In their investigation they determined that this was not
the first time the man had fucked a freshly dead homicide victim. I’ve heard of
some strange fetishes and paraphilias, but this is the first I have heard of
someone attracted to corpses of freshly dead murder victims. The name of his
crime is ‘gross abuse of a corpse’. Is it possible to abuse a corpse in a way
that is not fucking gross? Imagine a charge of ‘pleasant abuse of a corpse’.
We’ll probably never know how many corpses this guy grossly abused, but he has
committed three confirmed acts of necrophilia and other sex acts with corpses in
his 16-years as a morgue worker. In 2009 he admitted to other past acts.
Stay sick, see you next month!
