Mormon manacler re-emerges?
The suspicion that the same nutjob is behind every quirky news story — call it journalism's unified field theory — took a leap forward this week.
The Tribune had been alerted to the possibility that the Bernan McKinney who paid a Korean lab $50,000 to clone her beloved pit bull "Booger" was one and the same as the love-besotted Joyce McKinney who allegedly stalked, kidnapped and raped a Mormon missionary in 1978 in England.
The Trib's Paul Rolly offers the story, though Bernan McKinney denied she is Joyce. Bernan told the UK's Telegraph that she is not Joyce McKinney, calling the connection "rot."
Still The Mail reported several connections to show that Bernan likely is Joyce, the woman at the center of the "Manacled Mormon" story that delighted British tabloids and writers of Utah's Saturday's Voyeur.

If you've forgotten — and who could — the Brits offer a condensed version of the Joyce McKinney saga:
The Daily Mail gets bonus points for reprising the greatest pull quote in tabloid history, which McKinney offered up in court:Former US beauty queen McKinney jumped bail and disappeared in 1978 after kidnapping a male Mormon missionary, chaining him to a bed in a Devon cottage and forcing him to have sex with her.
She "raped" him three times, a court heard, after dressing him in silky pajamas and apparently used mink-lined handcuffs to spreadeagle him on a bed. ...
After absconding she later posed topless for US glamour magazines and revelled in her notoriety in the USA.
I'd ski naked down Mt Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me.

Is this true ... or just a joke?
and the reason "raped" is in quotes? Is that because of an ignorant belief a man has to get an erection to have sex, and must be "willing" to get an erection? A 19 year old penis responds to stimulation, not love, and yes, a man can be "raped."
Warchol thinks this whole missionary rape thing is funny. It's not.
The insensitivity is appalling. Imagine if an adult Mormon male had raped a 19-year old Muslim or Jewish woman.
I think it's damned funny. It's not like she was an ugly woman. Back then.
Plus, what sort of man is "duped" into being dressed in silk pajamas and shackled with mink-lined handcuffs? That's why "rape" is in quotations here.
You can't tell me that Elder Spence Q. Christiansen didn't know what was "up."
The only "Raping" that goes on with "Mormon Missionaries" is each other............
I remember the original series of stories. It was internationally funny. Great color and quotes from this lady. I've often wondered what happened to the missionary.
The story got lotsa local coverage and was displayed in many European papers.
Man, how time flies!
Thanks for bringing back great memories.
Why didn't this wimp fight back? Maybe he was into it.

No maybe.
You can't rape the willing.
Too bad that missionary wasn't Mitt Romney.
THAT would be funny.
This is great. More morman men should be raped.
Good job Glen! You've managed to get several readers commenting on how rape is so funny. What a great writer you are!
