Come here, little broken one. Where’s your wallet?

I told you. It’s in the garbage disposal with most of my right arm.

What’s the deal with that music? It’s supposed to be an interview, not an episode of Law and Order: Sport Utility Vehicle.!

Four and a half years investigating him to make sure they had an air-tight case and he gets five fucking God damned years.

They’ve got recordings of him admitting everything.

Just five years.

It doesn’t make sense.

It would seem draconian mandatory minimums have only been legislated for victimless crimes. Like smoking a little pot. It’d be nice if they existed for crimes that actually hurt people instead.

well, technically…

The agreement released by prosecutors said Fogle will pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000. He will also be required to register as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders.

The government agreed not to seek a sentence of more than 12½ years in prison, and Fogle agreed not to ask for less than five years, according to court documents.

from an august 2015 story

But, you know, the judge could sentence him to more than that. It’s just that the prosecution has agreed to ask for no more than twelve and half.

What sense doesn’t it make? Like 5yrs is a wall in the park.

I think the real question here is if “the others” are real or not…

He’s been raping children and distributing child porn for a hell of a lot longer than the investigation was in progress.

So glad you guys stopped carrying on in this vein.

Forget it, Mark. It’s Xenitown.

Not to worry. Better material was just handed to me by the lead writer.

So there’s no difference between how Dr. Phil presented this information and how Xeni did? Cuz I do see a difference.

Remember the best day of your life? The way it felt going to bed at night? The overwhelming sense that every fiber of your being had been spent in the best possible way and everything else would be downhill… but that it had all been worth it? That’s how wonderful you will feel after effecting a wire-order to my account, that marvelous sense of peak experience. You will be filled with satisfaction, and sleep well knowing you have done the right thing. And you do want to do the right thing, don’t you? You want to feel good about yourself, and sleep well at night? And you will, once you authorize that wire-transfer.

See, @anon15383236? The BBS never disappoints.

Hmm. I guess everyone here is too snarky to just explain what I’m missing here.

Seems to me that joking about sexual abuse of children (or anyone else) is no more okay than joking about rape or other forms of abuse. Maybe I need to recharge my mental batteries and then read this thread again.

I think it’s entirely possible to deplore the manner of presentation, but to note that the content contains some insights.

A couple of comments crossed the line of taste for me personally.

Thanks. Is the deploring going on of Xeni’s manner, or of Dr. Phil’s? If the former, what’s supposedly wrong with it? I mean, I know BB is a commercial/monetizing site, but I’ve also gathered that some of its info is put out with better motives and hoped-for effects in mind.
