Guess this is more of a mini rant/soap box speech more than a post with a point.
My local Fox news station is cashing in on this whole Internet meet up sting operation (ala Stone Phillips pwning pervs).
The thing is, in all of the spots they've had for this upcoming "Must see, shocking news story" they seem to act like it was their idea all along.
I guess it's no big deal that they're milking it for ratings because in the end it gets pervs off the streets and brings more awareness.
Personally I think this also reflects on our society and more specifically, bad parenting. I can't imagine my son doing some crap on the internet that I would know about or have taught him to watch out for from the beginning.
It begs the question that if you're going to let your son's and daughters use the internet (listen up resident ATOT 13 year olds) then shouldn't the parents have a mandatory "talk" with them on this crap. Sort of like the "sex talk" parents have with their kids.
The thing I find funny is that these dumb fvcks are stupid enough to fall into these stings. I mean, they have to go into that knowing there's a chance something like that could happen. Is it so bad that they totally disregard that risk all together.
If so, that's a sickness, and as soon as they're out of jail they'll be right back at it. People like that need to be cured or kept locked up for life.
*zips up flame suit*
