Here, for your Friday afternoon entertainment, is a listicle germinated in the fetid bowels of the Murdoch press.

Men who murdered women. Men who raped women. Men who raped children. More than twenty of them, complete with photos and salacious details of their crimes, often against multiple victims.

“Sex pests”. That’s what the Murdoch goblins call men who rape children and kill women.

Even without the abhorrent headline, this article would contaminate the bottom of a kitty litter tray.

HERE’S A LIST OF ALL THE PLACES WOMEN SHOULDN’T GO!!!! – but of course we don’t include all the places that sell Murdoch papers or serve Murdoch’s orc-infested empire.

HERE’S A COLLAGE OF RAPISTS THAT LOOKS LIKE A MOIVE PROMOTION!!!! – hasn’t this rapist got lovely blue eyes! Let’s put him right in the middle. Aww. Cute.

HERE’S A SUMMARY OF ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN HE RAPED!!! – look at us jernalisming like a bought one.

I need a shower, a bucket of bleach, and a world that has smashed Murdoch and all his malevolent buffoons into a thousand tiny pieces and flushed them into the sewer of history.
