| I am SO sick of famous people making Roman Polanski out to be this great hero who was wronged by the media. He was in his 40s and had sex with a 13 year old GIRL. Every time I turn on the TV, I see another celebrity talking about how it was concensual, and he loved her, and all kinds of things like that; THAT if we hear a "normal" person doing today for the same reasons, we'd want him or her strung up, it sickens me.
I feel bad for him and what he went through with the Manson Family. But that doesn't make this right.
The "famous" people say the judge was just trying to make a name for himself and went after Polanski too harshly because the judge wanted to be "known." BUT, HE-HAD-SEX-WITH-A-THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD!!!
They're making some kind of movie about him that will be on HBO this summer. It's early previews are already getting this critical acclaim and support. When the 22 year old softball coach has sex with his 15 year old player, he gets fired and put in jail. There isn't praise about him. There isn't anything great said. AND that I could see more than a 44 or 45 year old having sex with a 13 year old. But the softball coach isn't world famous. And I'm just using that as an example, because I heard about it on the news a while ago.
I mean, am I missing something?
Do we think he was seduced by the 13 year old?
Do we think it was ok that he had sex with the 13 year old?
Does this make anyone else see red?
If I flip by another talk show, and hear another host talking about how great Polanski is, and how he got a bum rap in the '70s with all of this, I think I'm going to scream. |
