Don’t You Just Hate It When This Happens?

There you are, reading an awful tale of a depraved man entrapped by the police and sent to The Big House before he can harm children:
A father of six who said he dreamed of abusing young girls has been jailed for two years after being caught in a police sting operation.
And then…you note his name:
…Robert Badcock, of High Street, Braintree...
SNORK!!!!

After you’ve wiped the unbidden tears of mirth from your eyes, you move on to the pleas by his defence:
Mitigating, defence barrister Richard Conley said Badcock was a "long-standing naturist" and was "brought into more dangerous practices" via a number of websites and contacts.
Riiiight….

Thank God for porn on the internet. I mean, no one had ever thought of bad things before tinterwebs came along to corrupt us, right?

It's so easy to blame too, 'cos its everywhere. We can have victims purely through other people's online evil.

In short, look at a bunch of pixels, go haywire.

Frying without an apron springs to mind

Oh, of course not! But much easier to crack down on the Internet than deal with these people as they should be dealt with.

"This just gets more amusing, the more one reads .."

Indeed!

"Frying without an apron springs to mind.."

Ouch!

A footballer was arrested for rape last year (charges were dropped btw).
