Dateline NBC and Perverted Justice, busting the pedophiles.

[Miss Shelby]

So have you seen that show where the team up with perverted justice and go on line posing as 12 and 13 year old kids, and they entrap the pervs looking for minors in chat rooms? They set up a ron-day-voo and the pervert walks in to the house thinking he’s getting lucky with a 12 year old boy or girl and then Dateline NBC is there and busts them cold?

It’s unreal. Perv after perv after perv, from rabbis to teachers to social workers to ex cops.

My daughter got a webkins for Christmas and she loves playing with it on line. She went into the club house and was excited that some one was in there and she asked what their favorite theme room was. And all I can think about is that it’s probably some perv logged into the webkins site.

I've never seen the show but heard about it. Seems like a good thing to be doing (the pedophile busting), but a bad thing to use to sell commercials.

What's a Webkinz?

Its trainwreck tv, but its soooo hard to look away.

The first couple were interesting to watch, now it just sickens me to see it on... Sad statement of the world. I try and keep my girls off the internet.

 

[Miss Shelby]

webkins are little stuffed animals that come with computer passwords and you log on and name them and get them a room and buy stuff for them. http://www.webkinz.com/

It's a kiddy site, and she sits there with her little stuffed monkey while she innocently plays on the computer. Her cousins have them too, so their animals can chat with one another.

I find it embarrassing and can't watch it.

I don't know why.

It is trainwreck TV and I think it appeals to the lessor angels of our nature.

I mean, lets just bust these guys, why is it necessary to watch them squirm as a reporter does his best to get ratings ?

I know it's sick but I almost feel sorry for them.

 

[Miss Shelby]

OH and you know what’s hilarious too, is they let the guy leave the house, and the cops are outside waiting to arrest them. And come walking out and then a cop dressed up as a tree flies out of nowhere and tackles the perv to the ground. Lol. Talk about unnecessary theatrics.

 

[MrJim]

When they bust them they should walk them out to a tree with a noose and televise that~preying on children should be dealt with severely.

Hmm. That got me thinking. I don't feel sorry for them, not in the least. BUT some of these men have families, do their children deserve to have their father disgraced on TV like that? In such a way that the entire neighborhood and all their peers will know about it? How does a child cope with that?

One dude brought his toddler son with him to the ron day voo. Guess he was gonna have him watch tv or something. I know it’s completely irrational to feel sorry for them, I can’t explain why I do.

[helenofbritain]

It's 3am on New Year's Day. I just got a toddler back to sleep after 2 hours of trying. Leave me alone!!



What would my French teacher say?

Oh kiss my dairy-airre. I'm an American, what do you expect?

 

[helenofbritain]

Oh kiss my dairy-airre. I'm an American, what do you expect?

Turns out I can't spell it either

 

[Miss Shelby]

my dairy-airre smells like vanilla and lavender, thankyou. The person towards whom that is directed knows who they are.

I don't like the show. It's a bit reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum in terms of trying to turn crime and punishment into entertainment. The criminal justice system ideally shouldn't be about trying to embarrass people and pointing at them and saying "Look how much better we are then those people over there", it should be about rehabilitating people and keeping society safe.

Some of the folks on these show seem to be real creeps, but there are some others, often the 20 year old meeting the 16 year old or something that isn't so bad, that I've looked and thought, you know really that's just a socially awkward person who couldn't find a girlfriend and made a mistake. You hope someone like that just gets probation and reforms his life and that this television show doesn't ruin his life, but I don't know that that's what happens. On the other hand, the 50 year old rabbi meeting the 13 year old or whatever oughta have the book thrown at him (Though I still don't think it should be a spectacle for television).

Honestly, the person that comes off as the biggest jerk on the show is the guy who does the interviews. He has this kind of arrogant bearing and a little smirk and just rubs me the wrong way. He really seems to take pleasure in basically rubbing these guys' noses in it and making them plead with him not to report them.

See, I would have though that dairy air smelled more like milk and hay and cow poo, but there you go...

Well that's just because you're a pedant.
