I know Paul Reubens casually, and it was very annoying to find out that he was being harrassed yet again about his alleged porn collection.
It's as if the media morons decide to go after someone to help boost sales...I can see the assignment desk now,
"Hmm, Corey....which one? Oh yes, the married one...let's post something about his drug habits."
"But sir, he's off drugs"
"It doesn't have to be RECENT."
Paul is a decent guy with a sex drive that includes fantasy. He had no idea a website misrepresented someone as over 18 when she was not. Traci Lords fooled millions of people, and I don't recall seeing millions of people plastered all over our local newscasts for the viewing her films. Which is more obscene, I wonder, the media's portrayal of a person's acts or the acts themselves?
(That said, I do agree what the other person posted that the child pornography realm is over the top and should be punishable. But, making an example of someone like Paul, when there are politicians, and dare I say, newscasters committing those same acts, is deplorable.)
