Sick theory time, These guys diddle little kids backstage during their heyday, and later on in life they find the kids not to be so willing.

exactly. you know, of course, when it was first discovered by Henry Tadd in 1533, it was a vast land of grassy plains, but considered haunted due to its eerie calm. nearby townsfolk called it the "creepy steppe tadd".

I thought that was a clerical collar he was wearing in his picture, and figured he found religion as a quick way to cop a feel. But I guess it's something to do with his tracheotomy.

 
skinink 2008-03-14 11:36:45 PM  

Had to goolge the song, and found a static video of it on youtube. Then I found out they also sang "Baby, Now That I've Found You". Well, thanks internet, for introducing me to a two-hit wonder.


"The girl said she would sniff petrol to escape from what he had done, the court was told."


Sad. They should make him inhale gasoline until he has permanent brain damage.

MacBeth was also placed on the sex offender register for life.

Probably just be using a pencil for that one

yeah, it's a trach collar, the ties (collar) keep the tubes and neck plate in place

Why do you feel me up (feel me up)
feel me up baby just to
then go down (then go down)
and start goin' to town
And then worst of all (worst of all)
I'm only a baby
compared to you (compared to you)
You're a horny old dude
I need you (I need you)
less than anyone bastard
You miserable grizzled old fart
So don't feel me up
Motherfark
I'll stab your cold heart


Everyone! Sing!

Even these expert character witnesses could not help MacBeth with his case.

I got my hands on a live David Johanssen solo LP from about 1982 (new window) a few months ago (the guy from the New York Dolls). He covers that song! Very strange to hear "Personality Crisis" amongst stuff like "Build Me Up Buttercup."

 
junge altman 2008-03-14 11:57:44 PM  
I guess he figured with terminal cancer that he might as well indulge in his freak without holding back

/when I get terminal cancer I am going to blast ABBA out of my car stereo down main street

 
MomCore 2008-03-14 11:59:49 PM  
71 years old ?

What's really sad, is that the most depressing point of this story is that he is 71YO. And the fact that it makes me feel reallly farking old too.

/used to sing this song with my sister back in the day

Well, that's what she gets for building him up just to let him down, and never calling when she said she would.

An ex of mine worked at The Garage (garr-idge) in Glasgow and said they'd play the buttercup song an hour before closing each morning to let the staff know they were nearly done. I wonder if they still do that.

 
Dr. Mojo PhD [TotalFark] 2008-03-15 12:17:25 AM  
Christ, is there any way this thread could get better?

Unless somebody digs up something really esoteric like scat pornography based on The Little Mermaid's direct-to-video sequel, I'm going to say no.

And thank you, Kome and KingMountain, for making the shiat out of my night.

So this your exgf? Or just wishful thinking?

No offense. Afterall, this IS fark.

I like how the article says he "forged a career in publishing." Very savvy of that writer, as the publishing industry is completely built on forgeries. And, while I'm here, let me comment on...

Maddogjew:

Uh... Wow. I see that you think this whole "children getting raped" stuff is nonsense. When a guy is caught with kiddie porn and allegations of rape, and he calls it "research," we should just back off huh?

Protecting children is a good idea for a civilization (which is what I'm going to assume you want to live in). However "protecting children" as a grabber-phrase for political gain is a nasty business. I don't see any evidence of that going on here. Is there a politician at a microphone somewhere? Nope. So why don't you wait for one to show up before you start putting multiple exclamation points on some weird-looking defense of perversion. Looks like a dirty old codger and likely rapist got hisself caught and is now pleading the brilliant "research" defense.

People! Child sex is not that big a deal -- hell, it's the norm. I've NEVER heard of sex producing a full-grown adult.

That would be Robin Wright Penn, who played Buttercup in The Princess Bride, a 1987 film which is apparently after your time, which may make you feel older than the fact that the child molester is 71.

fark, it makes me feel old.

I don't have any sympathy for him, the fact that she remembered enough to revert to sniffing gas, makes me feel that's what he should be doing for the rest of his life (in jail as it seems).

 
Nemo's Brother 2008-03-15 12:31:19 AM  
Pop Starts don't go to jail for child molestation or kiddie porn.

Right MJ? Right The Who?

Was there always this many child sex stories on the mainpage? Seems like a lot.

I'd say there aren't enough.
