Courtney Love and Francis Bean Cobain

Courtney Love was never going to win the Mother of the Year Award, but a restraining order filed by her daughter Francis Bean in 2009  and unearthed by The Fix claims that she was responsible for the death of family pets. The cat was killed under the crush of hoarded ‘Etsy fabrics, boxes of paperwork, trash and other possessions,” while the dog met his end by slurping up some errant pills.  The illustrators at NMA TV have taken it upon themselves to animate this sad and twisted story, adding in their own bizarre elements like a Hannibal Lector mask and some complex math equations.

If 'crazy' could be bottled up and sold Ms. Courtney Love would be the Evian source, spouting seemingly endless amounts of pure, undiluted insanity every hour of every day. When she's not Tweeting sociopathic (yet utterly hilarious) rants at ex-lover Billy Corgan or soon-to-be-hugely-famous ex-daughter Frances Bean, Courtney can be found yelling at the very crowds that pay her bills. This time, she focused her vitriol at a young Brazilian fan who waved a Kurt Cobain poster at her gig, refusing to play and then storming off the stage. Because that's what a sane person would do.
