navarre Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Is anyone else watching this right now on Channel 4? Very distressing documentary. It just makes me so angry that someone could completely ruin someone else's life in such an evil and easy manner.
Wesley Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I only saw the advert. But I couldn't help thinking, "Meh". I know that's bad. But it was someone using her face to get her half-naked body on some rag, etc. And I just though, "Oh well." I know that's bad. And terrible. I don't think that she deserved it or anything, obviously. Just. I'm a dick I guess. And in half an hour I might find out I'm a racist too.
Emasher Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Is this something that can be summarized in a paragraph for those living outside of the UK?
Wesley Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/breakfast/8314689.stm Oh... watching it is pretty terrible. I don't understand how a guy... carried... acid? Wow... It's crazy to think that that one split-second. I'm also confused as to who it is... A random person she added on Facebook? Also, it's pretty amazing how she is now. She looks... ok. Well, terrible. But, ok. Amazing.
navarre Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Is this something that can be summarized in a paragraph for those living outside of the UK? Katie: My Beautiful Face on Channel 4. It's about a former model and TV presenter who was stunning until her psycopathic boyfriend raped her and then hired a goon to throw acid in her face. She's physically scarred now really badly, and is blind in one eye and has to eat through a straw. This angers me to the point that I believe the people who did it shoud just be shot outside, or even better, have acid thrown in their faces and see how they cope. Looks were everything to this girl, and if someone did it to me, I'd kill them.
Wesley Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Ok. So it was someone she met on Facebook. Went out with him. Broke up and then he got his friend to throw the acid. Oh, you just posted it.
navarre Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 Bless her, she feels embarassed whenever she goes outside. It wasn't her fault but she's feeling embarassed and guilty for it, because people stare at her.
Raining_again Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Bless her, she feels embarassed whenever she goes outside. It wasn't her fault but she's feeling embarassed and guilty for it, because people stare at her. the life of someone with a skin condition!
or else you will DIE Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 i thought this was going to be Katie's birthday thread
flameboy Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 i thought this was going to be Katie's birthday thread Me to. that would have been much nicer. this is just awful..
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Ah yes, I saw her on This Morning about 2 weeks ago. Very sad story. Not really worth an extensive documentary. [Kinda like the Elephant Graveyard thing on Tuesday]
Wesley Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Hah! What?! Not worth a documentary? Don't you watch (and live by) the rantings of some bloke about random crap?
Paj! Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 *at least* she still looks human. A lot of people who have face reconstruction/transplants just look inhuman.

Wesley Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I love that jayseven likes my posts. It just encourages me to carry on be annoying. Edited October 30, 2009 by Wesley
Rummy Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 They didn't do too bad a job with her face imo, and I think it's good she's trying to raise awareness of things. I find a strange something in the fact it happened to someone who was trying to get by in life and in a business where her looks are a major factor, though I don't by any means wish things like this upon anyone or think she deserves it, but I think it's a...well, an interesting something, I guess.
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Not worth a documentary? I didn't say not worth a documentary, I said an extensive documentary. I would probably bet I learnt more in the 5 minutes she was on This Morning than half the time it would've taken watching an hour long documentary. Don't you watch (and live by) the rantings of some bloke about random crap? I'm sorry if I want to keep fit by the teachings of Sportacus. Edited October 30, 2009 by EEVILMURRAY
Mr_Odwin Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I saw a few minutes toward the end and it just made me feel sad. She's dealing with it and that's cool, but it's a total tragedy. I don't know how people can be so evil (throwing acid in someone's face evil). Do they have no empathy/conscience?
Wesley Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I also caught the last few minutes, while waiting for the racist programme. Really felt sorry for her. When she said how she doesn't want to be known by her friends/family as, that girl with the acid incident. How she doesn't want it to define her life. Quite amazingly brave.
EEVILMURRAY Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Quite amazingly brave. Fucking right doggie.

I don't know how people can be so evil (throwing acid in someone's face evil). Do they have no empathy/conscience? They should have acid thrown in their faces, see how they cope. She was coping brilliantly and had a lovely personality in the documentary. I don't like the last bit where she turned away from the shop assisstant and stood in the corner while her sister bought some make up because she was embarassed. It's so incredibly pathetic that we live in a society where people are 'embarassed' about something they have no control over.
Ryan Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Just when I thought this would be another Jordan and Pete thread.. I never usually watch things like this, it's too upsetting most times and I wouldn't enjoy watching it so..
