Assuming the wiki about them is accurate there are all sorts of goodies about the Super Chapman Bros. Dinos Chapman is involved with a charity for poor 16-19 year olds who want to get into art. Jake also reportedly said that James Bulger's death (a toddler who was brutally tortured and murdered) was a public service. Jake also attacked and threatened numerous female journalists. Oh, and they posed as Russian artists once when they are actually British.

One interesting trend is that no matter how sociopathic they act the media assumes they are either doing it for publicity or is just like "lulz, artists are weird". Must be a great profession for the truly deranged.
