Why was murderer Myra Hindley used in the promotional video 'Visit London'?

Question

And why has she become an art portrait of London?

The London organisers knew that she was a murderer but why did they still include her in an 'Visit London 2012 promotional video'??

AND TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR ANSWERS THIS WAS NO MISTAKE - THE LONDON 2012 ORGANISERS CHECK THROUGH THE VIDEO SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THE VIDEO IS READY TO BE SHOWN TO THE PUBLIC.

Answer 1

Because the crowd from 'Visit London' think it's arty being controversial and will undoubtedly bleat on about freedom of expression, etc. etc. Tell that to Mrs Bennett and the families of the other children murdered by that evil b. itch.

Answer 2

Yes WHY ?  A disgusting decision by someone who's sick enough to think it's acceptable.   This video is supposed to have shown the Best of Britain'.   For me it has ruined the entire closing ceremony and the presenting of the games to Britain.  

Answer 3

Calm down.!!!

It was done to illustrate that we, in the UK, are "somewhat" free of censorship.

Unlike China!!!

It is an excellent painting  - irrespective of the subject matter - and this is very important.

Try not to be too PC - there are much more important issues!!!

Answer 4

First the maker of the film have nothing to do with 2012 organisers.

The picture celebrates the artist who has bad taste in choosing his subjects.

She obviously is not a portrait of London anymore than your views are popular among a majority with brains.

This film has been withdrawn - good result enough said unless you want to hang everyone in sight!

Answer 5

Not in good taste is it. I suppose they are trying to cash in on her notoriety, though I cant think why.

Answer 6

True. There was a fleeting glimpse of a piece of art featuring the face of Myra Hindley.

But when has the purpose of art ever been to make you feel comfortable?

Probably a more honest image than that of a small girl miming to the voice of another less pretty little girl.

Answer 7

ask yourself

would you be giving free publicity to the event by asking this question if myra hindley hadnt featured in the video?

answer - no

maximum publicity, thats the reason why

Answer 8

appalling rifling with horror memories brings it all back for the families

and our shame of some of the human race
