Sex toys and sinister tales

17th February 2012



It’s been a funny old few days with regards to Polish news. In between the more light-hearted pieces, such as married Catholic couples attempting to spice up their sex lives and millions of stick-thin Poles ploughing their way through as many doughnuts as is humanly possible, there’s been one or two more sinister and slightly disturbing stories knocking about.

The main story that’s been doing the rounds this week is the incredible tale of the mystery man found half frozen to death in the mountains.

Granted, the authorities have since managed to put a name to the odd figure but so far he has refused to cooperate or help with inquiries so Police are still none the wiser as to what exactly he was doing up there in the first place. Flicking through the papers, the story reads more like something from a George Lucas film than a serious news story and there is no doubt more to this strange tale than meets the eye.

But perhaps even more sinister was the picture of Rutkowski sat in the snow with half his belly hanging out. I know even mentioning this guy’s name and featuring this story in NPE is falling into the trap, but is there seriously nothing this man won’t do to get his face in the media?

Our job here is to report what is going on in the Polish press, so when something like this appears, we are obliged to write about it. But why publications are even giving this man column inches is completely beyond me. Yes, he sells papers, I know. But for God’s sake give us all a break and let it drop. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is sick to the back teeth of reading about him.
