Surely some subjects are not fit for comedy? Can ethnic cleanisng ever be suggested as a fascist brand of detergent? Did Fritzell incest on stuff with his daughter?
Awful unfunny jokes aren’t they? But some times a situation is so horrible you kinda have to laugh at it, because there are times (they’re rare) when being serious doesn’t help. Some situations are so impossible you have to laugh at them.
Jon Venables is back in prison. For looking up childporn. The little bastard. I bet the Sun bought a giant ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins in the shape of a gallows to celebrate this news day.
The thing that scares Sardonicus is he was accused of obtaining level 4 child porn (on a scale of 1-5), Sardonicus is assuming that level 4 is pretty vile and level 5 would make your head explode in disgust. But he’s rather more concerned about level 3 and level 1. See for there to be level 4by defnition there’d have to be 1. What would 1 be Dora the Explorer? A mirror(a kid might look into it)? The problem is that our anger at a bum hole like Venables permits us to reduce everyone else’s rights a level. Venables is a serious sex offender, what’s a minor one? And how do we prevent Jonathon King travelling back in time to abuse his younger self? Sardonicus would like to point out all the pornography he owns contains images of dark matter, quazars and Piltdown man.
But even more concerning is the howls of John Vennables has lost his human rights. He hasn’t it’s kinda the point. If human rights belong to the least of us, they will belong to the rest of us. People do stupid, vile, unimaginable things fortunately not every day. Or else we are left with paedophiles and murderers passing each on the motorway into their respective secret exiles. The only way to not fear the stranger in our midst is to know everyone in your community. It might be a step closer to some one in Venables being helped when he was the lost boy and not the monsterous adult.
