August 13, 2003 -- CELEBRITY shoplifter Winona Ryder is taking up the cause of the West Memphis Three, a trio of death-row inmates convicted of murdering a young boy in a Satanic ritual. On Sept. 6, Ryder will host "Cruel and Unusual Punishment," an art show benefiting the killers' legal defense fund, at the Sixspace Gallery in L.A. The exhibition includes artwork by Marilyn Manson and a lecture by former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra. The trio will be the focus of an upcoming movie starring Michael Pitt, Ricki Lake, Jason Lee and Michael Madsen.

That's gonna be rich!

"Ms. Ryder's wardrobe provided by Saks Fifth Avenue ... whether it knows so or not."

[Drango]

I hought the skank was in jail?

[Neenah]

Who is her consultant on satanic cults? Mark Garagos?

[zlala]

How can people so totally confuse good from evil? The people supporting this are sick.

[Lil'freeper]

I just have one question. From where did she steal the art?

[I still care]

Everytime I think I can't respect Wynnona Ryder less, she does something else really stupid.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Isn't she on probation and doesn't that preclude her from associating with known felons?

I wonder if she's personally met with the murderers...

Everytime I think I can't respect Wynnona Ryder less, she does something else really stupid.

In a strange way I feel sorry for her. I read once she was raised by hippies and her godfather is Timothy Leary. No wonder she's screwed up. She is the poster child for what happens to kids raised by the far left.

Here's a piece of art she might want to display:

She is officially ready for her VH1 documentary, along with the rest of the Beetlejuice cast.

The exhibition includes artwork by Marilyn Manson...

Oh boy, I can't wait. I hope he's a better artist than John Lennon!

I hope he's a better artist than John Lennon!

You're not setting the bar very high, are you?

[StatesEnemy]

Bidders might wanna check here, before raising the paddle.

The exhibition includes artwork by Marilyn Manson and a lecture by former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra.

WOW! What a powerhouse of ARTISTS! I've always been an admirer of "JELLO" Biafra. His breathtaking sculpture "Sh*t on a Shingle" is still the best.

How pathetic can these A-Holes get?

Will they show pictures of the mutilated body of the poor little boy those monsters killed? Yeah, right, sure, uh huh.

[dennisw]

What is it with these Hollywood types and their affinity with stone killers on death row? It's downright perverse.

I never even think about death row unless an execution is in the news. And 99 times out of 100 the execution appears warranted.

[Maigrey]

Hmmmm. Another reason for me to protest this b(leep).

When this happened, the entire area was aghast at what happened to the three kids, and how they were violated and murdered. And, since a jury by their peers convicted them of murder and sentenced them to death row, why is this liberal scum sticking up for their rights? Oh, that's right: she's a liberal, and she prefers to kill innocent babies and keep alive convicted murderers.

GailA & CB, what's your thoughts?
