Or was that Marlon Brando…
Friday, July 22nd, 2005Years ago South Park did an episode featuring the “North American Man-Boy Love Association” which plotted to seduce the grade-school protagonists. The boys all think it’s fun to hang around with adults until they’re lured into a hotel room and it becomes clear that the intentions of NAMBLA are… more than platonic.
Today I found out that NAMBLA, in fact, exists and has existed since 1978. Part of their mission, from their web site:
We call for fundamental reform of the laws regarding relations between youths and adults. Today, many thousands of men and boys are unjustly ground into the disfunctional criminal justice system. Blindly, this system condemns consensual, loving relationships between younger and older people. NAMBLA’s Prisoner Program, with limited resources, works to provide a modicum of humanity to some of these people.
And I want to call attention to this part: many thousands of men and boys are unjustly ground into the disfunctional criminal justice system. You know, guys, I don’t think that it’s the boys they’re sending to jail.
