Skeletons Inside Jo-Jo's Closet

Jojo Baby, the doll-maker, drag queen and owner of Jo-Jo's Closet made a gruesome discovery Tuesday night as he was picking up mannequins he had bought off eBay from Bucktown resident Brian Sloan. According to Jojo, there were human skulls being boiled in Brian's apartment. Brian says he bought them legally to sell on eBay, and though the police have confiscated the skulls, no charges have yet been filed.

The real point is that Chicagoist wants you to just look at the excessive amount of photographs accompanying the story on NBC 5. Not only are there two slideshows, one of the skulls being removed and one for the actual story, but there's a close-up of Sloan's hat with a skull pin, Jojo wearing a Taste of Chicago shirt with an arrow pointing netherwards, and a picture of a human skull for sale on eBay.

We smell a publicity stunt. Sloan looks way too happy in the photos than we would if the cops just janked our still-meaty imported human bones.
