Fallen (Former) Heroes

[skend04]

This might not be as controversial a thread as the Transgender one but events in recent weeks have got me thinking. Aung San Suu Kyi. She's gone from a political prisoner who won the Nobel Peace Prize to now being the face of social cleansing in Myanmar. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind against the Burmese government atrocities whilst she was held captive and now the silence is deafening whilst the army and Buddhists kill and cleanse away the Rohingya Muslims.

 

I'm struggling to think of many that match that fall from grace so let's open it up the forum.

[Numero Veinticinco]

PewDiePie.

 

Sweet Prince.

[Captain Turdseye]

[skend04]

PewDiePie.

 

Sweet Prince.

To be fair anyone calling themselves PewDiePie must have been a cunt from the very beginning.

Was thinking along those lines myself, shows she's human I suppose and therefore fallible, but depressing all the same!

Bin Laden

Brave mujahideen commander and funder turned world number 1 terrorist

[Rico1304]

Chavez?

[rubble-rouser]

Chavez?

 

Depends on your politics I guess. Some would never have hailed him as anything but a proto-dictator; some still won't see his (substantial) feet of clay.  

[cloggypop]

Mother Teresa.

 

Cunt.

[Jairzinho]

Gandhi.

 

Cunt.

[Jairzinho]

Bin Laden

Brave mujahideen commander and funder turned world number 1 terrorist

 

Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.

[Jockey]

Tony Blair - not exactly a hero, but that euphoria of 97 soon disappeared. 

[s(k)aturation]

Bin Laden

Brave mujahideen commander and funder turned world number 1 terrorist

 

 

Yep, from Gin Sling Slurpin' Sammi in Beirut bars with the CIA picking up the tab... to executed WWE-pay-per-view-style on live CCTV for the private viewing pleasure of Hillary and Obama.

[Lee909]

Ivan Drago

The poster boy of the Soviet Union to a drugged out junkie, who's failure to beat a Italian Midget brought down the Soviet Union

[Shitty Arse]

Ian Watkins. Top ten hits. 3.5 million albums sold worldwide. Is now quite rightly languishing in jail and hopefully getting passed round the showers for ciggies by Barry the Bastard after raping a baby. A cunts cunt.

[tokyojoe]

Gandhi.

 

Cunt.

He only made one film.

[Rico1304]

Mother Theresa?

[Jairzinho]

He only made one film.

 

Self-indulgent cunt.

[cloggypop]

Mother Theresa?

No, Mother Teresa.

 

Cunt.

[Bjornebye]

OJ Simpson

 

Adolf Hitler

[Jose Jones]

Rolf Harris

[Rorschach08]

Jimmy Saville is an obvious one.

 

He was always classed as a bit of an oddball but mainly known for how much he raised for charity (an estimated £40 million), now he's, rightly, one of the most reviled people of the last 50 years

 

Strange reading the glowing obituaries after he died knowing what was to come.
