You've at least heard about the show, maybe you've even seen it, where Chris Hansen confronts pervs who are caught in a chat-room sting for trying to have sex with a 13 or 14 year old. Of course these guys are sick and deserve their fate, but what gets me is how INCREDIBLY STUPID they are to boot.
First off, most of these mental giants are already aware of this program and the sting operations. Even so, they waltz right into the trap like a total retard. "well, she said she wasn't a part of it"- do you really think the decoy would go "crap, you got me- I'm part of a sting operation!" This also displays an utter lack of pattern recognition skills: if they had "to catch a pirate", where people downloaded mp3's from limewire only to have the police come arrest them, I'd probably uninstall limewire and quit downloading mp3's.
Another thing that gets me is that they use young model/actresses (and actors) as the decoys. Guys, guys, guys... how can I put this delicately? The blonde-hair/ blue-eyed cheerleader archetype you crushed on in 9th grade isn't going to suddenly find you irresistible now that you've gone bald, grown a beer belly so large it makes the angels weep, and got a kickin' job cleaning pools. Look at yourself: would you do you? Being older might net you bonus points on some of the ladies' scorecards, but holy hell, it is NOT a cure-all.
Also, did I miss the changing of the guard, due to my last 10 years of serious relationships, where the courtship ritual transformed into "trade vital stats with a complete stranger, swap pictures, meet and screw"? If this were true, I'd totally be kicking my self in the ass over all the time I wasted feigning interest as chicks talked about the dreams they had the nights before. But it's not true (however, I'm still not crazy about the time I spent listening to dream interpretation prattle). I'm curious how the internal monologue for these rocket scientists would read:
"Awesome, this 13-year old I met online just 10 minutes ago is totally gonna give her virginity to me RIGHT NOW! I am a smooth-talking mofo! Where are my car keys?"
I know the young girls aren't quite as sophisticated as their legal counterparts, but they're still not going to sleep with your grimy ass after a 10 minute Q&A. Idiot.
One thing that killed me was how many of these creeps were married! Why in the name of a thousand hells would anyone complicate their life with an affair that could end with being taken away in handcuffs upon discovery? Something tells me she'll get the house in the divorce proceedings. On a side note: I totally believe you should give your spouse a little bit of privacy, but if he can set up a date to drive 2 hours away for some preteen action, you might need to keep slightly better tabs on what he's doing.
What the hell are these people thinking? These people are literally throwing their lives away because they want a specific type of person to press their happy button. Does the little brain truly have that much control? Can they not control themselves, or are they truly stupid enough to think they're getting away with it? Why even go illegal: if you're 50, is there really that big a difference between 13 and 18? It's not exactly something I condone, but at least its legal. Sure beats risking jail for the chance to talk about Paris vs Lindsey and middle school power struggles.
