'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The allegations I've read have all been very sketchy. They're more in the realm of rumors than hard facts. I really hope that they aren't true.
Agreed on all counts. The very idea is beyond horrifying, but the HuffPo story didn't have anything beyond rumors at this point, and I hope to god that's all they are.
HuffPo jump the gun? No way. (/sarcasm font)
ita, my god. It's like a human Gumby. Which is not a bad thing, at all.
National Horseshow news:
Jessica Springsteen Wins Martha Jolicoeur Leading Lady Rider Title at Alltech National Horse Show.
Yes, that's Bruce's daughter.
LOOK OVER HERE.
And who ever said that clicking ita ! links was risky? Also, wow, bendy much.
yay Jessica Springsteen! that's adorable.
Although it is pretty odd to think of the working man's troubador being the father of a star of such an upper-class sport.
The allegations are already out that Sandusky pimped out kids to high paying donors, and that the university knew about it and covered it up
OMG. That's... god, that's like something from a movie. It can't be true. Just on logistics alone--how could Sandusky know which donors to approach? And how many could there possibly be? It strikes me as really farfetched. I so hope it's not true, primarily for the kids, but also because I can't bring myself to believe there are that many pedophiles out there in positions of power and influence.

Yeah, the logistics don't make much sense. I just can't see something like that going on for that long without someone saying something. There would be way too many people involved to count on them all to stay quiet.

In light of what we know about how many adults knew of Sandusky's abuse of those boys and who chose to do what amounts to nothing to protect them, I don't find it impossible to believe people would choose to say nothing. Because they already did. Over and over again.
Occupy Penn State is going to disband, to show their support for the victims. I'm uncertain how that train of logic works.

Unfortunately the guy is still on the loose. But the girl is okay. This is how you act, for fuck's sake.
This reminded me -- the other week, my parents got a robocall when I was there about some recent attacks. My grandmother was all, "BE CAREFUL! Don't walk to the subway alone!" Apparently some guy has been running up on women and sexually assaulting them in some (unclear to me) way, but running away when they yelled and/or hit him. I said he sounds like a neighborhood perv, which is so different from a neighborhood rapist, so I wasn't that worried. I mean, ew, but seriously.
