Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
I want to protest the present government and economic system and the cynicism and passivity of the people … as emphatically as I can. But primarily, I want to get publicity in order to draw attention to my proposal for immediate social transformation. To do this I plan to end my own life. The attention of the media is only caught by acts of violence. My moral principles prevent me from doing harm to anyone else or their property, so I must perform this act of violence against myself.

 27-year-old film director John Huston hits and kills 23-year-old Brazilian dancer Tosca Izabel Querze Roulien while driving his car in Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, United States. The resulting media frenzy forced Huston to retreat temporarily from public performance and he took work as a screenwriter instead. |
