We Should Have Seen This Coming

He's a natural man.

So, even though there were a few humorous animal stories in the news today, we decided to switch gears for this Friday's post: Today, we're going to talk about pederasts.

More specifically, we're going to discuss Gary Glitter, the former "Glam Rock" star who is currently serving time in Vietnamese jail for child pornography charges. Now, we've never been to hell before (although our one-way express ticket has been purchased and we're pretty sure we have a place reserved there for us), but we imagine hell is pretty close to being in Vietnamese jail for kiddie porn charges.

Gary Glitter (real name Paul Francis Gadd) was jailed back in 1999 after he took his computer into a store to get it repaired. The technician at the store became alarmed when he discovered "more than 4,000 images, mostly of young girls but many of young boys" on Glitter's hard drive.

The images showed the young children, aged 2 to 10, engaged in "most humiliating sex acts" which the judge referred to as "filthy and revolting" and "of the worst possible type."

Even though his computer was confiscated in England, he is incarcerated in Southeast Asia because he was later arrested in Vietnam for having sex with six Vietnamese girls and women between the ages of 11 and 23.

Apparently, Glitter really likes the Hong Kong phooey. But, this comes as a shock to all of us. Come on, Gary Glitter and underage Vietnamese boys? It's surprising to even think about, because Glitter always seemed so normal.

Above, we have the music video for "Do You Wanna Touch Me", one of Glitter's most famous songs (another popular version of this song was performed by Joan "The Selfish Lesbian" Jett).

Here is an excerpt from the lyrics:

Every growin' boy needs a little joy, all you do is sit and stare

Beggin' on my knees, baby won't you please

Run your fingers thru' my hair

My my my whisky & rye, don't it make you feel so fine?

Right or wrong, don't it turn you on

Can't you see we're wastin' time?

Do you wanna touch? - Yeah! Do you wanna touch? - Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch? - Yeah! Do you wanna touch? - Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There! Yeah! Oh!

Now if that isn't blatant pederast propaganda, I don't know what is. Combine these perverted lyrics with the strange hand gestures in the video, and what you end up with is basically a big neon sign with the word "GUILTY" on it.

They say that hindsight is 20/20, but Jesus... This Glitter guy is a big-time sleazeball. How much more of a scumbag could he be? OJ Simpson looks like Mother Theresa next to this despicable pedophile.
