All kidding aside, I still can't believe that football stadiums banned his notorious jock song from their playlists.

Here's the thing: Thailand, Vietnam, and other countries are dangerously two-faced when it comes to sex tourism. They'll talk about how much they want to stop it, but, at the same time, they end up kind of tolerating it. They want the money dudes coming in to fark 12 year olds brings. It's disgusting and pathetic.

So Glitter got a relative slap on the wrist because Vietnam had to do something -- but not too much.

One would hope so. Ole sucks ass, even if it is the Bouncing Souls.

I don't care if he likes little kids, the song doesn't make me want to molest them.

You're an idiot. Probably a typical yank who's never left his own country. I've lived in Thailand for 5 years, there is no place in the country you can go to fark 12 year olds. I've been in a hundred bars and not one ever had anyone under the age of 20. Sex tourism is a minor business these days anyway, Thailand is already almost 1st world at this point. It's not the 80s anymore.

Gary Glitter was able to fark an 11 year old in Vietnam because he was living there for a long time and was able to molest local children living near him, basically the same way some one in the US would. He gained the trust of local families over a long period of time. There was no 'place' for him to go buy them.

I found a Gary Glitter interview on youtube done while he was in the Vietnam prison. I've never actually used this acronym before but Gary Glitter really needs to DIAF sometime before the end of this month.

Been to Trat lately? Cambodian border Thai town where you can get very young kids, I have seen it, it is somewhat behind closed doors and not for sale in bars like the rest of the country has adult sex workers but it is there, hard to ignore when a small boy is being raped by two Germans in the room next to you in a small guest house.

He's also never heard the Murray Head track "One night in Bangkok". It'll make a hard man humble.

And it's got that killer beat.

But no, there's no illegal and easily accesible sex shops in Asia. Not at all.

I think he just wanted to repeat it without adding a "this" or whatever to it. Thats some powerful and disturbing stuff

oh and Gish21, piss off

Yes, been to Trat before. I don't doubt that you can go to the border and find some homeless Cambodian street kid to fark. Cambodia is farked up beyond belief, there are homeless, armless, legless, street people/kids all over the place. Civil war and genocide have completely destroyed an entire generation of people.

But no, there's no illegal and easily accesible sex shops/slave trades in Asian countries. None at all.

Hope that clears things up for you folks. Thanks!

So, Glitter gets arrested in UK for having 4,000 kiddie porn files. He gets booted from Cambodia for child abuse and then he gets arrested in Vietnam for molesting two kids and now he's free again? What. The. fark?
