Can’t say that I’ve ever thought of a human skull as a potential birthday gift. Might’ve crossed my mind as a cool thing to put on the mantle a time or two. But, I never really thought you could just up and buy one. I thought that kinda shit was reserved strictly for the movies and/or Frankenstein and Dracula (and yes – I’m talking about the doctor. Dr. Frankenstein – I know that the monster was NOT Frankenstein). Maybe if you’re a viking, you have access to that sort of thing.
But, I didn’t know it was a thing people did and actually admitted to. I mean, if you have a human skull on your mantle, you’re totally NOT telling someone if it’s real, right? That has a sort of stigma to it, no? You probably just laugh nervously and then say you forgot to put up the Halloween decorations (even if it’s July).
So, you can imagine my shock and awe when I read that someone actually bought a human skull to give to their boyfriend, and it was a politician, no less!
A candidate in a northern British Columbia riding has purchased a human skull as a birthday present for her boyfriend, according to a Facebook post.
Claire Rattée is running for the Conservatives in Skeena-Bulkley Valley, a huge riding held by NDP MP Nathan Cullen. It includes Prince Rupert, Smithers, Terrace and the Queen Charlotte Islands. About 90,000 people live there.
A Facebook post by Oliver James Brown wrote Rattée bought him a human skull from the 1700’s. He then gleefully shared the news in a Facebook post.
Wow – does conservative mean something different in Canadia? Because I can’t picture any of the conservatives around Tennessee buying a human skull for their significant other. That seems like it’s a pretty NOT conservative thing to do.
As a political strategy, though, I gotta say – this would win me over. I would be even more impressed if she was like, “this is the skull of my mortal enemy.” Then, you got my vote in a heartbeat, lady.
I want someone in charge who has that kind of buys-a-human-skull energy.
Wonder where she bought it, though? Was this just sitting on a table at a flea market somewhere? Or, did she have to use her conservative political influence to steal it from a castle somewhere? This seemed like it was going to be a fun little weird post, but now I have questions. I think there’s a larger story to investigate.
You learn something new every day, I swear.
