Society for Cutting Up Men

[moss]

That's it. SCUM.

Heard about this from watching a docu the other night.

It was penned by the lady that shot Andy Warhol.

Mad read. Please don't enjoy.


It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage.....


Although completely physical, the male is unfit even for stud service....


SCUM will become members of the unwork force, the ****-up force; they will get jobs of various kinds an unwork.....

SCUM will kill all men who are not in the Men's Auxiliary of SCUM. Men in the Men's Auxiliary are those men who are working diligently to eliminate themselves, men who, regardless of their motives, do good, men who are playing pall with SCUM.....


Simultaneously with the *******-up, looting, couple-busting, destroying and killing, SCUM will recruit. SCUM, then, will consist of recruiters; the elite corps -- the hard core activists (the ****-ups, looters and destroyers) and the elite of the elite -- the killers.

She shot Warhol, an art critic who was with him, and attempted to shoot his manager but the gun jammed.

The judge must have been sympathetic to her cause for she only got three years for the lot.

I have a long list, I can tell ya, that I would be happy to do three years for ...:)

She was rearrested upon release for stalking Warhol. He apparently lived in terror of her for his remaining days.

She died some time in the 80's I believe having spent a lot of time in and out of mental hospitals.

If SCUM ever marches, it will be over the President's stupid, sickening face; if SCUM ever strikes, it will be in the dark with a six-inch blade.

All is not lost though, no need to panic...


they can go off to the nearest friendly suicide center where they will be quietly, quickly, and painlessly gassed to death.

I'd be living in terror if that nut shot me and was dandering the streets.

Feck it, to be on the safe side I'll be wearing dresses from now on :eek:

Warhol got rid of his business manager anyway. He figured he could manage his business better himself. He was right. He started cataloguing his test prints, ie. the final print before the "real" print and now these test prints are commanding high prices in their own right. I saw a test print of his "Dancing Nun" in the Hotel Muza Gallery in Kosice a couple of weeks ago. The owner said he bought it in 2006 for $300,000 and it is now valued at $500,000.

The shooting incident spooked Warhol considerably. He became a lot more reclusive and security-conscious. Understandable really. What is less written about is his rediscovery of his religion. He was a Byzantine Catholic like most ethnic Rusyns and he became interested in his ethnicity and his family's background in eastern Slovakia. So much so that he bacame a daily churchgoer, sitting at the back so the other Catholics could not see him blessing himself in the Orthodox way. He was a really interesting guy.

He was, and the art was very political. Coalminers' son / shoe designer. Ahead of the pack in responding to mass media and mass production. The shooting didn't do him a lot of good though.

He seems to have died of HSE style hospital neglect.

Valeria Solanas seems to have been one of a string of damaged people who took out some of the best political and creative individual in the US over the 60s and 70s. Its doubtful that we'll ever know for sure if they acted individually or were directed.

[Cassandra Syndrome]

And lets not forget he managed one of the greatest bands of all time

Has anyone seen the film 'I shot Andy Warhol? It was entirely based on Solanas' beliefs and interactions with Warhol.

Quite entertaining.

[Slim Buddha]

Well, CS, for a brief period, he did, and of course designed the cover for the banana album but by the time White Light White Heat came out, both he and Nico were gone and the band were producing more hardcore stuff like Sister Ray under a different producer. Sister Ray, all 17.00 mental minutes of it, was recorded in one take!

Warhol was an unusual manager for an avant-garde rock band, once booking them to play at the wedding reception of a friend of his. Difficult to imagine the Velvet Underground playing a wedding reception but hardly an event the happy couple are likely to forget.

First dance to 'Venus in Furs', like it!

Warhol was something of an idiot-savant. One commentator described him as the only genius with an IQ of 60.

[DCon]

That's it. SCUM.



SCUM or society for C U M?

More savant than idiot. I dont know of many self-made (as opposed to those who inherit) people with an IQ of 60 who leave $780 million in a will. Maybe I am moving in the wrong circles. (I dont know any Irish developers and less of them will be able to leave nine figure sums as time goes on)

She could of killed him but seemed more interested in wounding his "manhood" than ending his life.

What happened Moss?

What happened Moss?

He's on a two week holiday. I didn't cut him up. Honest. :o

Moss asked me to say he got a permaban which lasted a few hours, then a 24hour ban that lasted a few minutes, then a 48 hour one.

Well, its a good thing that there's somebody who knows what's going on.

I was going to ask was Moss Smoking? But I might be better redirecting that question to you Cactus :eek:

We'll see him on the Music Thread, round 5am then?
