Today on August 27th 1964 Paul Bernardo is born
In 1975, Bernardo’s father Kenneth fondled a girl and was charged with child molestation; he also sexually abused his own daughter. Bernardo’s mother became depressed over her husband’s abuse, withdrew from family life, and lived in the basement of their Scarborough home. Though the elder children felt the effects of the emotional and mental turmoil, young Paul appeared to be unscathed by it.
In his book Lethal Marriage, Nick Pron describes the young Bernardo: “He was always happy. A young boy who smiled a lot. And he was so cute, with his dimpled good looks and sweet smile that many of the mothers just wanted to pinch him on the cheek whenever they saw him. He was the perfect child they all wanted: polite, well mannered, doing well in school, so sweet in his Boy Scout uniform.”
Following an argument between his parents when Bernardo was 16, his mother told him that he was conceived illegitimately during an extra-marital affair with a former lover of hers. Repulsed, he began to openly call his mother “slob” and “whore.”

As sick as it is, this episode of Last Podcast makes me laugh so fucking hard. Henry’s Canadian impression will never get old and should never die.
