I have never met anyone famous, supposedly Gene Snitsky occasionally is seen in one of the malls around here, that's about it. I don't think we're going to get much better than a minor pro wrestler in rural Pennsylvania.
Oh shit, I should tell the convention story of a friend of mine though. He's a big dude, was at some random anime convention in the very crowded dealer room. Turned around and accidentally elbowed an Asian girl so hard in the face he bloodied her nose. Turns out she was Ami from Puffy AmiYumi. She took it well apparently, but he's still going to have a hard time topping that one.

A couple weeks ago I went to go hit some golf balls with my dad and in the club house we bumped into Don Cheadle.
Also, I sort of think forcing someone to register as a sex offender goes against the whole idea of criminals being able to reform, and may be a form of cruel and unusual punishment. On the other hand though, there is the argument that actual sexual deviants can't reform becuase of some such scientific reason.
Alternatively, U.S. criminal justice system is far too bureaucratic at times and as a system to provide justice it is very flawed.

But registering them all as just "sex offender" is so dumb because people automatically associate that with "child molester" even if the dude never touched a child. And having to register for stuff like streaking, public urination, and some cases of statutory? They ruin the lives of people who could actually be productive members of society, and make it impossible for them to even attempt reform. Laws about where they can live cut off entire communities, people won't hire them, and they end violating terms of their probation (regarding a permanent residence and a job) and they end up right back in jail.

the sex offender laws in most of the US are basically totally fucking retarded
first of all
check out this: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4783650
(TL;DR : 13 year old girl has sex with 12 year old boy, as a result both are in violation of a law prohibiting sex with someone under 14. both are considered sex offenders. both are considered victims)
(17 year old dude gets blowjob from 14 year old chick, is stupid enough to record it, gets busted because of that. even though it's consensual, gets convicted of child molestation. gets 10 years and has to register as a sex offender. law gets acknowledged as stupid, and is changed because of his case, but isn't made retroactive so he's still fucked)

Donny is awesome for doing stuff like Johnny Bravo and Al's video like that. It shows that he doesn't take himself seriously and knows that he's basically just a big goon now.
I love watching him dance around like a crazed retard in that video clip.
customs had randomly inspected his package for some reason or another
decided that it was child pornography (despite conflicting laws on that subject) and informed his local police
delivered it to him anyway
when he signed for it, bam, on came the cuffs and the news cameras
hey, what's up, entrapment
oh not much, i guess, you?
so he was charged with various child pornography charges
which were stacked on after they seized his computer and found all kinds of loli and shota junk on his computer
no real porn
just drawn stuff
if convicted, he'll have to register as a sex offender
i mean
for a bunch of drawn pictures
no doubt the dude's a pervert but i mean are we at a point where we are cool with arresting, prosecuting, imprisoning and then registering a dude as a sex offender for what essentially amounts to fiction relating to an activity which is criminal?
i mean i'd probably deck a dude if i knew he jerked it to loli porn
but like
that's pretty uncomfortably close to thought-crime right there
But with pedophilia, most of those people have problems they don't know how to deal with. I have very little sympathy for people who go out and rape little kids, but jerking it to drawings of children? I mean, who's even the victim here? It's likely that the guy probably was a pedophile but if he can supress his urges through a method that does not harm anyone, then what's the problem?

exactly
i mean it's a unilateral agreement that the dude's a pervert
is pretty screwed in the head
however
i mean i've volunteered with schizophrenic people who, if they aren't properly watched and medicated, will cut out your fucking eyes
yet
we as a society are cool with those people as long as we can keep them harmlessly in control
we know it's not their fault, so we don't want to just lock them in a room somewhere
however, people don't extend that kind of sympathy when a person's mental illness manifests as unacceptable sexual deviancy.
i can understand the fear that a dude who jerks it to drawings of kids is like, one half-step from jerking it to actual child porn and one step from just raping kids.
but then we're talking about arresting people for having the possibility of committing a crime

The problem is that the majority of the American public has a hard time stomaching the logic of "personal freedom so long as nobody gets hurt". These are the same people that when you try to explain why flag burning needs to be legal, they call you an America-hating terrorist. Very few people in this country recognize that the law of the land can't exactly match up to their every moral stance.

I ran smack into Batista at BWI Airport a couple years ago. The dude is scary huge.
I had coffee with Wayne Knight (Newman from 'Seinfeld') at the Space Needle:
Was taking my daughter on her first trip up the Needle to the sky deck, and we rode the elevator up with him and his girlfriend\wife. My kid's a social butterfly, so she started chatting it up with the woman, and it took me a minute to realize who the dude was. I'm a huge Seinfeld fan, but at the time, he'd lost a LOT of weight - barely Newman'esque any more. Introduced myself and my chatty kiddo and told him I loved him in Seinfeld. His lady friend took to my daughter and they went off to the skydeck together and he bought me coffee and we hung out for a total of 10 minutes or so.

Any sort of interaction I've had with celebrities I've already said on here a few times before and I'm trying to be better about saying the same things over and over.

and that's basically the crux of the problem
people don't like laws that make them feel uneasy or don't gel with their personal moral view
they don't like the idea of it being okay for a sex pervert to jerk it to hand-drawn images of a kid getting fucked
because ultimately they are jerking it to a picture of a kid getting fucked
they are sexually aroused and satiated by imagining an act of child molestation
and that's the sort of thing people wished didn't exist, that they consider unpleseant and morally and societally unacceptable
so instead of dealing with the harsh reality of something extremely unpleseant and offensive that will kinda exist whether you make laws about it or not
they'd rather just illegalize and prosecute unilaterally and ignore any nuance of the circumstance

Sid Meier attended a classic gaming convention I went to. I even brought my copy of Alpha Centauri for him to sign but that fucker was literally there for 5 minutes. =( By the time I found out he arrived, he had left.
Oh, come to think of it, I did get to meet one minor "celebrity"
That's Tommy Tallarico on the left, a random friend of mine on the right. Unfortunately, you probably know him for his terrible, terrible gaming review show on G4 instead of the music he's created.
I've met a bunch of people. I mean, just at Comic-Con last year, we met so many cool folk.
Aside from that, I've met Colin & Brad and all of Barenaked Ladies. I could've talked to Sean Neslon from Harvey Danger on New Year's but I chickened out. He was talking to some other people and I always feel really bad interrupting conversations to say "hur hur, I sure like you and your music mister."

I read this as Todd McFarlane and was deeply confused.
So did Adam West. Coincidence? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the identity of Adam West. In actuality he is Seth McFarlane.
Truest thing ever said on the internet.
I have never met anyone famous, supposedly Gene Snitsky occasionally is seen in one of the malls around here, that's about it. I don't think we're going to get much better than a minor pro wrestler in rural Pennsylvania.
Oh shit, I should tell the convention story of a friend of mine though. He's a big dude, was at some random anime convention in the very crowded dealer room. Turned around and accidentally elbowed an Asian girl so hard in the face he bloodied her nose. Turns out she was Ami from Puffy AmiYumi. She took it well apparently, but he's still going to have a hard time topping that one.

Yeah, it was awesome.

ordered a bunch of loli manga from japan.
