Shift Buzz The documentary Are All Men Pedophiles? argues that we should be more accepting of sex between teenagers and adults. Unsurprisingly, not everyone agrees.
TV Buzz Because you are watching teenagers have sex.
Celebrity Buzz In an emotional “Nightline” interview, Corey Feldman admitted he and his late friend, Corey Haim, were victims of pedophilia on the proverbial Hollywood casting couch. “There's one person to blame for the death of Corey Haim, and that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul,” Feldman said. “That person needs to be exposed. But unfortunately I cant be the one to do it … There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids, and they all had their own power and connections to the entertainment industry.” (via.)

Culture Buzz Or statutory rape. You say potato. Oh, hey, it won a prestigious advertising award. The judges who saw this apparently popped some Sportage in their pants. Blech. (via copyranter.blogspot.com)

Free speech vs. free child love.
UPDATE: In a victory for probably no one, Amazon has caved to public pressure and banned this book from their store. Folks are pretty up in arms today about this book by Philip Greaves about how to be a better - i.e., slightly less molesty - pedophile. According to TechCrunch, The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure is the 158,221st best-selling book on the Kindle, hopefully because of the low $4.79 price and not because of the content.
According to a recent study by the University of Leiden, an increasing number of pedophiles are being sexually harassed by men who are attracted to them.
Culture Buzz After we promoted that 12 Evilest Pope Pictures thing, we had a crisis of conscience, followed by prayer and finally insight. We'd like to apologize sincerely to the Holy Father for the error of our ways, and present a much better alternative meme. Please pray for its success — we love you B16!
Politics Buzz Pope Benedict XVI has been given a lot of flack lately, but in all of this it's important not to forget what the man is actually good at: looking absolutely bloodcurdlingly godawfully creepy. Here's a selection of some of Benny's greatest hits, did I forget any?
Why did someone stencil these “pandas” on the billboard of the Pope? What could it mean?! Why does no one ever tell the mainstream media anything? It's totally unfair.
These new anti-pedophilia ads seem like they might be perpetuating the problem more than helping it.
