Did you think this had anything to do with jack the ripper?....do you even care? a london ontario, canada baseball team wants to call their team the london rippers....everyone is freaking out because of the origins of the name...it is all over todays news here in canada...we have several london,ontario posters here that i hope check into this debate....I would like to know what the U.K. forum thinks about this... here is the logo here is a link to the story http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/womens-group-cries-foul-over-creepy-baseball-logo-they-say-references-jack-the-ripper/article2240948/
I think riding on the infamy of a serial killer is pretty sick really, I'm not surprised that women's group is objecting to it
it's just a name to make them seem more bad ass. what other way to get that imagine then name yourself after a serial killer. lol
I think it's fine. Jack the Ripper is just another idea to play with in our culture. This is not a particularly edifying or creative way to play with it, but they can do what they like and it's absolutely fine. If it offends some prudes, that's fine too. They probably needed offending.
can yopu buy jack the ripper souvenirs in london england....t shirts,mugs etc?...omg...please tell me you dont sell jack knives over there?
More like London Zippers, amirite? I dunno. Not sure if I care but it does seem a little tasteless. I wonder if the fans cheer on by yelling "Ripper is hardcore!" Ya know, 'cause dead people are awesome!
pretty sure i have seen serial killers on tee shirts before...charles manson...just took me a second to find one holy shit...there is a whole industry with websites and cards and even fan clubs..i will be quitting you sicko's in society now
