I LOVE AMERICA!

Only here can you watch not one, not two, but three different Dateline specials on catching Internet Child Predators.

The most recent installment took us to a small town in Ohio, outside Cincinnati. I admit, I missed most of this one because I was out drinking Chimay and eating french fries with mayo, but I did turn it on in time to see them nab a 26 year old 6th grade teacher who looks like he could be someone I know (in contrast to the slew of fat, balding men in Ohio State T-Shirts).

Next, they devoted an entire hour to a sting in Fort Myers, FL. Times like these make me proud to be a Floridian. The star was a man from Trinidad who showed up, got NAKED(!), and starting chasing the girl's cat (the feline, not the other thing, you PERVS!) around the house. He also wanted the "13 year old girl" to perform a sex act on her cat.

But by far, the best part was that after the dude from Dateline (not Stone Philips, but the other one) told them they were free to go, there were police officers waiting outside to arrest the men. There was one officer who was-- I kid you not-- dressed up like Swamp Thing and sprung out of the bushes to tackle them. Good laugh, I'll tell you.

I don't understand how it is Dateline gets these men to sit down and talk about their deviance in the first place, then gets them to sign a release to air the conversation on national TV. It was really shocking that in 2 days, more than 20 men showed up and that the men were from all different backgrounds and age ranges. Many of them married with children. One sucker even took a BUS 4 hours across the state to get there. Talk about desperate.

A friend of mine tells me they should make this show like "American Idol" and we can vote for our favorite perverts. Not sure what the prize would be though. Maybe a new computer?

Hot for you,
