Other Blogs Talk About What We Talk About The Day Before

From The Blog of D Magazine:

David Ware, a Garland softball coach, is expected to turn himself in either today or tomorrow for liking wrestling. I mean really liking wrestling. As this story states, Ware is "accused of videotaping a girls wrestling match for sexual pleasure." His lawyers are going to challenge the 2001 law with the "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Are Hot" defense. Attorney Scott Palmer says,

"If you go to a Cowboys game and take a close-up shot of their cleavage, are you committing the same offense because you think that has sex appeal? Apparently you are under this statute."
But Grand Prairie Sgt. John Brimmer points out that the wrestlers Ware filmed were much younger. Brimmer also says,
"This was more than accidental footage of the genital areas. It appeared to be a purposeful act of zooming in."
Developing. (Source) I know that Scott Palmer. Funny guy. And I made that argument in a Skattershooting in August of 2001 (except I used a bikini contest in Padre Island as my example)

Does this mean anyone reading this blog is guilty of a felony?

It is interesting that the Sgt. points out that the footage was of underage persons -- a fact which has absolutely zero relevance under the statute.

The guy can not be guilty under the law. The age does not matter. The kids were fully and totally clothed. There is not the slightest opportunity to see any of the private areas of those wrestlers. This is not a cleavage shot or an up-the-skirt shot where undergarments or skin is revealed. There is nothing there. He filmed spandex. No different than if he zoomed in on a kid wearing a giant M&M costume at Halloween. No skin, no privates, no nothing. All he has is the human form, represented by a synthetic material. Under the law, that is. Frankly, if this guy ends up found guilty, all beaches and swimming pools should be immediately shut down or closed. Cheerleading should be banned. Gyms and fitness centers? Lock em up.

6:15 following up.....but he is creepy and a weirdo. My comments were legal in nature, and this guy ought to go watch HBO or something instead of filming wrestlers.

Yeah I think he needs to watch some Skinamax, or Ho-time!
