So in Physics today (I lead a very exciting life...) we were talking about Halloween costumes and of the girls told us about a friend who dressed up as a "child molester" which apparently includes a wife beater, creepy mustache, and a sign that says "candy in pockets"
Now, I was abused as a child and I don't understand how in the world anyone would think that was funny. I don't get it. Why would you think that was a good idea? But I hear this a lot, a guy joking about child pronography, someone else being flippany about pedophilia, and I wonder how they don't get that the person right next to them might have been hurt by that kind of stuff, and they don't think it's funny at all.
So if you'll excuse me, I'll go take the medicine I'm taking to help me deal with PTSD 9 years later. That's funny too, right?
