Opened each listening cell,
Each from his separate Hell.
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol.
Prisoner number 74326 will have plenty of time over the Christmas and beyond in his listening cell in Portlaoise Gaol to rue the mistakes he made in the USA in 2015 and 2016. He was to all intents and purposes clean away after committing one of the most shocking crimes in the history of the state.
The prisoner’s fondness for drink however, and its ability to ‘loosen the tongue’ led to his arrest, extradition, conviction and a life sentence in circumstances that Oscar Wilde described as his separate Hell more than a century ago.
On Dec. 2, 2002, My Fault-1, a user on the 3D animation forum CGTalk,
sat down with his family to watch a football game. During one commercial break, he flipped channels to The WB, where instead of the usual fare of teen dramas was
Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, an animated Christmas movie unlike anything he had ever seen.
The heartwarming story, festive music, and cute animation were nowhere to be found. This was a surreal vision of the Christmas special on par with
Plan 9 from Outer Space or
The Room. In
Rapsittie Street Kids, characters’ bodies had the blocky stature of an upright juice box. Their faces barely registered as human, in a queasy contrast with their realistically flesh-colored lips. The soulless world around them was made of muddy, repeating textures painted onto 3D objects, like the Matrix by way of a GeoCities page.
