Smiffy's Latest Nonsense

I am not going to repeat his endless b*tchy remarks about people's appearances - he sounds like nothing so much as a spurned stalker.

No, it's this bit:

The other day I was watching a documentary about the Joyce McKinney scandal, which was either about a woman saving her boyfriend from a religious cult or it was about a woman kidnapping a man she once had a fling with to have very kinky sex with. Joyce McKinney attempted to manipulate the press into believing her side of the story & that she was all wholesome and family values, but McKinney’s manipulation that she was all pure & holy kind of came unstuck when the Daily Mirror published on its front page a full blown picture of Joyce McKinney posing naked from when she worked as an adult model and prostitute.

I remembered that vaguely, and thought, No, that's not what happened....

And it wasn't.

Incident

A young Mormon missionary named Kirk Anderson went missing in 1977, in Ewell, Surrey, after he was allegedly abducted from the steps of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1] A few days later a freed Anderson made a report to the police that he had been abducted, driven to Devon, and imprisoned against his will, chained to a bed in a cottage, where he alleged that Joyce Bernann McKinney (b. August 1949), a former Miss Wyoming World[2][3][4] had abducted, attempted to seduce, and then raped him.[5][6] The case became known by many sobriquets, including "The Mormon sex in chains case" and "The Case of the Manacled Mormon."
[edit]Judicial proceedings

McKinney was arrested on September 19 1977 and charged but vigorously denied the charges. While being taken to Epsom for a court appearance, she held a notice up at the window of the police vehicle saying, "Kirk left with me willingly!"[7] Press reports and McKinney's lawyer refer to the substantial size differential between McKinney, described as slightly built, and Anderson, described as substantially larger.[8][9]
Along with Keith May, her alleged co-conspirator, McKinney jumped bail and fled the country.[10] On 18 July 1979, they were both arrested in the United States by the FBI on charges of making false statements in order to obtain passports.[11] They both received suspended sentences.[12]
No extradition proceedings were instituted by Britain, and the English court sentenced McKinney in her absence to a year in jail.[13] Under the then-Sexual Offences Act 1956, due to the victim's gender, there was no crime of rape committed, though indecent assault of a man applied.[14]

And how could anyone forget the most famous line the story produced?

"I loved Kirk so much," she told the court, "that I would have skied down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose."

That story kept the nation enthralled - and in stitches - for weeks.

Roses V wobbly bits:

Sadly, the members of MM don't seem frightfully interested in Smiffy's Part Two. Probably because they haven't recovered from Part One yet.

Probably scared of another attack of narcolepsy, Sabot. They'd be far better reading about the Manacled Mormon

Ah! That explains where they have all gone.

Hmmm. All I can say is an extremely non PC - "what the hell is he complaining about?". Some people would pay good money for this sort of thing.

Thing is, Smiffy tried to make out that this was a serious story (well, I am sure it was for the Manacled Mormon) but it kept the rest of the UK entertained for weeks.

Smiffy tried to equate this to the abduction of Madeleine McCann, and the harrassment of her parents - which it simply isn't. There is no comparison.

And it's very telling that, having supposedly watched a documentary about naked-ski-ing-with-roses smiffy failed to grasp what the case was actually about, or even bother to check.

His sloppiness has been well-noted before, and with good reason.

In the unlikely event that anyone is interested, Dr Redsquare Roberts has said the same stuff as smiffy, only without the sex scandal he didn't remember properly, and minus the bitchy remarks about people's appearances.

Same old same old otherwise.
