JACKOFF

I resolved to never discuss the Jackson case, as I had not followed it, or given a flip shit. The outcome was inevitable. Middlebrow folk on a jury, convinced celebrities are greater than they, reluctant to convict, government attorneys so fucking inept they cannot present a convincing case. It did bring to mind this Elkin quote from The Living End, which the studious reader will notice I have posted before, back in aught-three. Quiz the groundskeeper, talking to the boys:

"It's the same with dirty old men, boys. Maybe they can't have a relationship-do you know what a relationship is, boys?-with a person their own age, so they seek out children. Your moms are right, boys, when they tell you not to accept rides from strangers, to take their nickels or share their candy. Children are vulnerable, children. They don't know the score. You give a dirty old man an inch he'll take a mile. His dick will be in your hair, boys, he'll put your weiner in his pocket. They can't help themselves, boys, but dirty old men do terrible things. They want to smell your tush while it's still wet, they want to heft your ballies and blow up your nose. They want to ream and suck, touch and diddle. They want to eat your poo-poo, boys."

Anyway, the Jackoff case reminded me of that.
