agilebritBarbara Walters just made me yell at my TV.
She was talking about Mary Kay Letourneau and her "love affair" with a twelve-year-old student.
NEWSFLASH, Barbara. That wasn't a freaking "love affair." That was a MOLESTATION. I don't care if the boy is 21 now and they want to get married. He was TWELVE FUCKING YEARS OLD. If some damb teacher got PREGNANT from having SEX with my TWELVE YEAR OLD CHILD, TWICE, I'd want her to spend a hell of a lot longer than just seven lousy years in prison.
Yes. I am aware that I'm yelling. I am aware that some may find this entry controversial. I don't fucking care. It's not many things that make me drop f-bombs. News reporters practically endorsing child molestation by calling it a "love affair" is one.
Holy CRAP.

Date: 2004-09-25 04:45 pm (UTC)This is how the culture gets lost. Prominent people start sugar-coating things like molestation, and twenty years down the road, it's just another "lifestyle choice"--as long the the child "consents," of COURSE.
Argh.
