Before Cloning Booger, McKinney's Life Had Already Gone to the Dogs
Monday August 11, 2008
If you're on the lam from the law (and have been for decades) then why on earth would you agree to be part of a publicity stunt that put your face in front of millions worldwide? That's the question many are asking after it was revealed Bernann McKinney, the blue-suited woman who cloned her dog Booger and got five puppies for $50,000, is actually Joyce McKinney, a bail jumper wanted for a notorious sex crime in Britain.
The Guardian news blog covers the details, and The Mail online has lurid details and photos of McKinney then and now.
Some are laughing at the details (McKinney abducted a young Mormon man and held him in handcuffs as her sex slave) but others point out a very real truth - she kidnapped and raped the man, and yet it's considered a 'saucy' tale. If the tables had been turned, and she had been a man kidnapping and raping a woman, nobody would be laughing - and McKinney would be in jail right now, especially after jumping bail.

Once a nutball, always a nutball, I guess. I would wonder where she got the $50,000, but if she was able to con her way out of the UK by masquerading as a deaf-mute mime and a nun, selling real estate (if indeed that’s how she makes her living) should be a walk in the park for her. Just, please, no topless photos w/ the pups!
This is a great lady for pulling off the antics that she did. Why would you want a missionary in your life. Constant babbling about the Book of Mormon and the holy life. How boring.
Bravo to this exotic and odd woman.
To dumb for words. I think the other comments are interesting. Not to sure I would agree that she is a “great lady”, odd, yes, great, nah.
