Old news? Getting there.. However, if anyone remembers TTT's old perv column (which only happened once), they you may find this interesting..it's sick really, but I'm posting this for you guys none-the-less. The entire chat log of Foley and his little boy friend, courtesy of ABC.

plaster cast fetish... what?

[testtubebaby]

we had a perv column? you mean the pedophile?

[GT2000]

Yeah, exactly..the pedofile, I still have that banner made for it somewhere I think. Always thought that we should keep doing something like that, make it a weekly thing, or a regular feature.

[thecreeper]

that's gay.

[GT2000]

My wife and I read the chat transcript together and I couldn't stop laughing whenever I narrated Foley's portions for some reason, grade-A sicko.

[Mr Biglesworth]

If we were smart I'm sure we could have found more pedophiles (or just 'files', i like to call them) and led them on like that. Then we'd really be famous. The New York Times published quite and extensive expose on online pedophile communities. Its quite remarkable to read about their internal logics and consistencies, and how they view their own disposition. I'll dredge up a link if i can.

[GT2000]

Yeah, I remember there being a site that hosted all of those chats. Not that they went out purposefully themselves to find the pedos, but, they just received the logs through email or whatever and posted them up as a warning to others about whatever s/n.

It'd be funny, find one a week, and then when they ask for a picture...don't send one yet..wait..then when you send one, send a picture of you holding up a sign saying "Surprise! You've been caught on TTT's Pedofile!"

[Mr Biglesworth]

oh wow, I just read some of that transcript. When this story first came out it was very pared down. All it quoted was him chatting friendily with the boy, asking how sports and life were, then quoted the boy as saying "it was sick", then experts saying that its not healthy for a grown man to develop a personal relationship with a boy. So I said to myself 'jeez we're a paranoid society... sure you can have a friendship with someone younger than you'.
Now I wonder how those articles came about.. who's information they were running off of and in whose interests. That transcript.... that's classic pedo stuff.

[Liss]

For whatever reason the link won't work for me.

So I think I saw something on msnbc that said two congressmen were aware it was happening? I only caught half the story, although I may find out in journalism class in thirty minutes.

[raublekick]

we definitely need to make a 419eater style site aimed at pervs.

[Liss]

I'm caught up.

see, old men are scary.

[GT2000]

Yeah, they are. Even more scary that most of us will be old men some day, I can't even imagine some of you guys as old people.

As for Foley, this is a guy who "worked hard" on legislation against internet predators and the like back in the 90s I think they said. Claiming alcoholism..hah, "I get drunk and sweet talk the young boys that work for me". Thats whats so messed up here, he has/had regular face to face contact with these kids, they aren't just random kids on the 'net.
