In some sort of weird revival of the infamous ‘Neknominations’ of 2014, Matthew Maloney, or “Mad Matt”, storms into a room biting off the head of a rat before downing three shots of vodka. He then gets punched in the face and has a chair broken over his back before saying “beat that”.
Maloney reportedly made the clip in an attempt to create a disturbing new social-media challenge.
He was unrepentant at the time after a string of comments that labelled him disgusting:
“All your comments are cracking me up and not one person out there will be able to say anything that will make me feel bad or make me regret what i did,” he wrote on Facebook.
“Its mother nature and mans gotta eat!”
Netizens who stumbled across his video were outrage at his
Maloney was charged following a raid by RSPCA investigators after his bizarre stunt in January. The 25 year-old admitted to one count of animal cruelty in Brisbane Magistrates Court.
Magistrate Suzette Coates described him as a “narcissist”, and though he expressed remorse, he later told reporters outside court that his actions “weren’t that bad”.
Correction, Matt: you’re actions are freaking disgusting.
