Perverted Justice, Pretty Perverted

Okay, for the TV illiterate out there who have never seen Dateline\to catch_a predator, in this show, they set up real sting operations to capture delusional, balding, middle-aged idiots who are thinking they are meeting up with underage teens for sex, whom they supposedly solicited online. This chucklehead who calls himself a journalist, named Chris Hansen first gives the unsuspecting sex pervs the third-degree, and then they walk outside, thinking they're home free, only to get busted by the cops. It is a full-fledged freak show. It is Cops on crack. Most of the sex-pervs caught in the sting are said to be convicted and given heavy prison sentences. What gets me is that none of these sex pervs would have committed these crimes unless they were tempted to do so. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems highly questionable to me how you could convict someone of intent to commit a crime against a minor, when the minor is really an adult pretending to be a minor. The whole thing reeks of entrapment, although they say that it is clearly not.

The main point is this: Wouldn't all this money being spent to entice people into committing crimes, arresting them, convicting them, and imprisoning them, be better spent on more teachers, or housing for the homeless, or health care for children? The answer is no. We don't care about using resources in a productive and humane manner. We prefer pissing it away on the freak show.

I know the lame counter-argument: If we didn't entice sex pervs into committing sex crimes with impostors, they would be out there committing them against real children. I'll put it bluntly. This is an argument that some type of incredible fucking moron would make. I don't know any teenage girls, but I'm willing to gamble that the percentage of teenage girls who would actually meet, in person, a balding, middle-aged idiot who solicits them for sex online, is approximately zero.

Dateline\to catch_a predator is associated with this organization called Perverted Justice:

Perverted Justice is a bizarre, anti-sex perv vigilante group that actively looks to entice sex pervs online with impostors posing as children for sex.

For an anti-sex perv organization, Perverted Justice is pretty damn perverted! They publicly post real-live convos they've had with sex pervs, and you can vote on which sex perv is more perverted. Here are your options:

1.) Not really Slimy
2. Somewhat Slimy
3. Just Plain Slimy
4. Really Slimy
5. Oozing, dripping with slimyness!

They also post the photos of sex pervs, but I don't think any of them look as creepy as the Perverted Justice volunteers themselves. Here is one of the Perverted Justice volunteers, Wendy O'Connell:




When I look at Wendy, all I can think of is Marlin Brando in Apocalypse Now, repeating, "The Horror. The Horror..."

The Perverted Justice volunteers also add their personal comments about the sex pervs they speak to online. Here's one:

"At this point I wanted to rip him a new asshole. I can't even begin to tell you how sick I felt"

Just to be clear, this was not said by a sex perv. It was said by a Perverted Justice volunteer about a sex perv.

The police, and the courts, and Dateline\to catch_a predator are working hand-in-hand with people who want to rip people new assholes. I'm not even sure how you rip a person a new asshole. Maybe Pervert Justice can explain exactly how this works.

Let's cut the crap, alright? Perverted Justice is nothing but a bunch of voyeurs seeking sadistic pleasure by creating a twisted, carnival sideshow of sex pervs on display. They're not helping children. If they were they would be volunteering their time promoting the cause of health care for children or decent housing for children.

Oh, I forgot to mention the official Perverted Justice Thong they're selling for $9.99



Jokers.

What ever happened to Dr. Ruth?

I haven't seen Dr. Ruth for what seems like decades. Is she even still alive? I have been thinking about seeing her once on Letterman, where she was talking about some woman who wanted to feel pleasure in her vagina, and Ruth suggested that this woman buy a cucumber... At this point Letterman pretended to freak out by the comment.

Now that I think about this, it was really bad advice. I'm about the farthest away from a sex expert that you could be, but I know enough to know that you don't want to put a fucking cucumber in your vagina. I mean, hasn't Dr. Ruth ever heard of Salmonella or Staphylococcus? This is some major league bacteria. There are now anti-biotic resistant strains of Staph. This is a super-bug. It will really fuck you up. Yes, I know you could wash the cucumber off, but still, you don't want to go there. Certainly there are some more sanitary phallus substitutes that a woman could use. Jesus.
