How To: Not successfully write a book

There are plenty of good writers out there. Coincidentally enough, many of them are probably writing about Phillip Greaves, himself an aspiring writer that even got his work (“The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct”) published and sold on Amazon.com until it was taken down by the website. This same work is also being used as evidence for arresting Greaves thanks to an obscure little obscenity statute in Florida.

There are many aspects to look at regarding this: just what constitutes obscenity, the content of the book, how far the First Amendment goes in regards to free speech, just what part 4 (“Incitement to crime: It is a crime to incite someone else to commit a crime, and such speech is not protected by the First Amendment”) says for situations such as this and other various parts of the law. Many, many good writers would have an utter field day with this case.

The Guys are not those people. We’re still stuck on whether pedophilia is ickier than necrophilia. For that matter, why bother with trying to track down a book that may be potentially illegal, when you can browse the How To section of SeriouslyGuys? Totally digital and 100% NAMBLA free*.

Super Mario forced me to touch the kiddies

Blaming videogames for your sins is all the rage, and it’s such a hip movement that even dirty pedophiles are doing it! 38-year-old Ontario man Michael Cherry sure loves him some kiddy porn, but in pleading guilty to possessing the grisly stuff, he offered a most compelling explanation.

Cherry has implicated video games and comic books as contributors to his diseased state of mind, claiming that he lived in a “closed box” and that his “friendless fantasy” was fueled by interactive entertainment. The truck driver also did what many pedophiles do and tried to play the “bad childhood” card, bemoaning a life in foster care and bringing up his apparent clinical depression.

“I’d work, come home . . . lock myself in my apartment…”

Of course, there’s no excuse for downloading child pornography, no matter your background or social standing. It’s just sad that excuses are being made, and it’s thanks to those out there who have made games and comics, among other totally unrelated forms of media, easy scapegoats for criminals who wish to shed themselves of any sense of accountability. Of course, it makes one wonder who’s going to take the accountability of popping Cherry’s cherry in jail.

At least, if you weren’t wondering then, you are now. I am an evil person.
