PUNCHING KITTY: 2009 - 2013
Punching Kitty was a writing project for the city of St. Louis to have a little fun and try to get everyone to stop taking themselves so seriously…and hopefully highlight some critical issues along the way. Not everyone liked it (it turns out people don’t love being made fun of) but we converted a lot of people and I take pride that the site was truly well read. From the local media, to area police departments, Punching Kitty truly became a source for news and entertainment for St. Louis.
We had a lot of fun, but all good things need an ending and ours was on March 13th, 2013. When we closed up shop the news made local radio, TV, and even the front page of STLToday (The St. Louis Post Dispatch’s website) where we were the top story over a new pope being named. Wild stuff.
While we will no longer actively write, the site will stay up as an archive for St. Louis.

Man Gets Eight Years for Penis Murder
After pleading guilty yesterday in a St. Charles court to knowingly exposing someone to HIV, Charles W. Benjamin, has been sentenced to eight years in prison. Benjamin is currently serving another 8 year sentence for the exact same crime in Lincoln County.
Police said Benjamin had unprotected sex with a woman in St. Charles County numerous times between December 2007 and June of 2008 without telling her he was HIV positive. He has known he was HIV positive since March of 1998, police said.
Prosecutors in St. Charles County said the woman has not tested positive for HIV.
There are two questions we have with this story…
-
The maximum sentence for this type of crime is 15 years. Weird as it is that this kind of thing happens enough to warnet an official max sentence, its weirder still that this guy somehow didn’t get the maximum 15 years? Is there a worse way to kill a woman with your wang? Do you have to be convicted a few more times to get the max?! Twice isn’t enough? Does he need to tape syringes to his penis next time if he wants to hit the sentencing tilt?

How did we manage to go through high-school strking out with the ladies but Beardo McAids over here is apparently the casanova of more than a few zipcodes? What game could this guy be spitting to continually get ladies in the sack to give them the Aids? Seriously. We’re interested in knowing his game plan. Sure we have no problem getting ladies when its warm enough to take our shirt off and bench press a few homeless guys, but winter is right around the corner and we would value the assistance of a CyrAIDSno de Bergerac.
Eh. Nevermind. We don’t have enough time to practice that “You’ve Got Aids” barbershop song.

St. Louis Native Taylor Momsen is a Freak and We Love It!
It was almost a year ago when we noticed that some broad from one of those “We’re teenagers so every little stupid thing in my life is super important and sad” shows is from St. Louis, see: Some Piece From Gossip Girl is From St. Louis
Her name is Taylor Momsen and we revisit her again today because this chick is a freak yo! Maybe that’s why, in a city that pokes every little celeb from here with their boner (Oh Sheryl Crow! *poke* John Goodman! *poke* Ike Turner *poke*…ok, maybe not that last one.) it never seems to make much of a fuss over her.
Here are a few quotes from St. Louis’ little forgotten princess:
“I’m not looking to be Miley fucking Cyrus. I don’t care about the fame. I do it because I love music. I like making records and if people like them, then we’ll go along for the ride. I’m not dissing Miley personally. However, I do think the **Disney bubblegum **shit that the world is living right now is pathetic. I thought we passed that repression. I don’t know Miley, but musically we’re different. To compare us because of our age is silly. People will be surprised by the record. I mean, it’s a rock record. I get that there is this blonde thing from Gossip Girl and they’re expecting pop shit, but it’s a rock band and its heavy. Our record is a life record. It confronts everything head on. It’s death, love, drugs, sex, religion, politics.”
That was her living for the music and not the fame, and talking to FHM UK. What a little Courtney Love!
Taylor has also confessed her best friend is her “pocket rocket” because she is bored with men. She’s 17 right now. This was a year ago. Then she later “clarified” her vibrator comment via a tweet to Perez Hilton: “its a vibrator not a dildo..big difference.”
Most recently, Taylor revealed that a track on her new album Going Down was in reference as to the goings on of the Catholic Church molestation scandals. She went on to say:
I was raised Catholic. I fucked a priest once – I’m just kidding.
Wow. That’s…that’s…she wouldn’t want a job writing for Punching Kitty would she? Call us!
