Roasting Sacred Cows

Hans Gilde writes: "Pedophilia has been a big topic in the UK lately, there have been riots, beatings and vandalism resulting from [pedophile witchhunts]. In an attempt "to ask hard questions about the way society and the media deal with its most difficult problems" and point out "that famous people have a habit of denouncing things without knowing much about them", a comedian in the UK produced a TV show, described in an article in the NY Times, in which he actually got a member of Parliament to say the following, on the air, in all seriousness: "Using an area of the Internet the size of Ireland, pedophiles can make your keyboard release toxic vapors that can make you more suggestible."" This show is frankly hilarious, and the reaction to it is even better. You probably want to see the show, eh? It's available in .avi or Real and DivX.

In all seriousness

What's the big deal? THe internet only creates a better way for distribution. People are completely forgetting that the internet hardly creates a better way for pedophiles to gather subjects to abuse. Yes, there's child pornography on the 'net. But the size of Ireland? Damn, those Brits really are pissed off that they can't rule all of Ireland, aren't they?

Oh poor you! You get paid more than the women at your job, are less likely to be ticketed by a police officer, and never once have to be afraid that the shadowy fellow beside you might rape you (unless you're in prison, in which case your cornhole gets what it deserves IMO) - but ye gods! British Airways won't seat you beside a child traveling alone!?! You poor, downtrodden man!

Get off your soapbox so someone who needs it can use it.

What's next on the victimless crime list? Incest? Necrophilia? Beastality?
