One Concerned Mom Wants This Roman Merch Pulled From Shelves

Who knew?

In one of the most bizarre stories of the week, The Sun is reporting that a major toy store in the UK is having to refute claims that a mask of WWE superstar Roman Reigns that is being sold on their shelves, bears a strong resemblance to the infamous serial killer, the “Yorkshire Ripper.”

 

According to the complaint by a concerned parent:

“I spotted the mask in store on 25 November 2016 when with my son, who obviously had no idea why I was so interested in the mask, I even asked his mother who was with us, to take a look.

“I said to her think of a serial killer, and showed her the mask, without hesitation, and in an instant she said ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’.

“The mask looks nothing like the actual WWE wrestler, and I have shown a close up the mask to friends and they all said ‘The Yorkshire Ripper’.

“I think if this mask was taken onto the streets, and people were asked what serial killer does this mask look like, I think most would name Peter Sutcliffe, The Yorkshire Ripper.

“I do feel it should be removed from sale as the resemblance is too close to that of the Ripper, and could upset those associated with the case.”

The “Yorkshire Ripper” was a serial killer who terrorized prostitutes in the 1970s and 80s, and was convicted of murdering seven women, while trying to kill seven others.
