In the conclusion of what is probably the saddest meme of all time (see: internet gangs up on little girl, her father hits her, she gets put in foster care), Jessi Slaughter's father, Gene Lionhardt, has passed away at the age of 53. Goofnight, sweet prince. (via boingboing.net)
Gene Leonhardt, internet celebrity(?) Jessi Slaughter's dad, was arrested last month for hitting his daughter. The unfortunately-not-cyber-but-real police picked him up and let him go on $5000 bond. Suffice it to say, consequences will never be the same.
Your new favorite video: “Consequences will never be the same.” Jessi Slaughter, aka Jessica Leonhardt, got trolled by both 4chan and Tumblr for posting a “fuck the haters” video. Here, her father lets them know they messed with the WRONG DAUGHTER, explaining how he's “backtraced the emails.” If you want more backstory, see Gawker's finger-waggy write-up. Really, though, just watch this.
