idols - jack the ripper.

jack the ripper.

i think the main reason i idolize this guy is that there is nothing admirable about him. but other than that, i love the fact that the ripper has become more of a myth than man nowadays. he became so legendary, that some even claim that the murders he commited never even happened in the first place. he's more icon than man. he symbolizes the entire era of which he became famous in.
