4. Yeah... a parody of ManHunt is just hilarious! Is this the way to make the point about self-haters? By drawing comparisons to a site where the out, 'well-adjusted' gays post tens of thousands of pictures of their sex organs in the hope of finding yet another fast & random one-time hookup? Really makes the gay community look OUTSTANDING.

5. I'm pretty well-adjusted and I have pics on Manhunt.

   Seriously, what's with the prudish fucking attitudes of late? I, for one, could give a flying fuck what "straight America" thinks about me.

7. Suppose it will just reawaken the hysterics but I don't recall any thing in the whole Foley mess that suggested he approached anyone "under 16" or "before puberty" or anyone who was legally a "child" in DC or Florida.

   He was wrong. He was a hypocrite. He was a mess. But let's not twist the facts. It was bad enough as it was.

8. Mark & Joe - I'm sure comedians like Chris Rock get plenty of comments from fellow African-Americans who say things like, "Hey Chris, way to make us look bad in front of white people." But I think people like that are humorless and self-loathing, wouldn't you agree?

9. WHYFACTSMATTER,

   I am assuming this parody was done for humorous effect, but you are correct -- the page involved in the Foley scandal was not under 16 years old, he was exactly 16. Whether he had hair or not is unknown.

   However, 16 years old is only the age for sexual consent in D.C. if the other partner is 30 years old or younger, which Foley clearly wasn't. He was a 50 year old man making sexual advances on a 16-year old -- which is exactly the behavior he was fighting against with the NCMEC in Congress.

   I think these profiles do a great job of pointing out the hypocrisy of the "family values" crowd.

10. Actually, the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 which Foley helped pass along with the NCMEC states that "if the victim is under the age of 18 at the time of the offense and the actor had a significant relationship to the victim, the actor may receive a sentence of more than 30 years up to and including life imprisonment." And technically, Federal Law supersedes State Law.

11. No, Aaron, I don't agree. I think Chris Rock embarrasses his audience in just the right way.
