    This was one of those that made me realize that celebrities are a whole other breed. Hollywood is full of this shit, even worse in the 70s and 80s. Hell, David Bowie and Mick Jagger were fucking 14 year olds and people still worship them.

      Kendrick called out Drake recently by rapping that he has a nymph fetish. Never knew there was another name besides ephebophile/pedophile, but yeah wtf… Is it being stuck mentally at an age they didn’t grow from sexually or something?

        I don’t know anything about the Drake/Kendrick thing, but the term nymph probably became associated with pedophilia because of the novel Lolita. It’s one of the creepy endearments the main character comes up with while he is obsessing over the child he’s going to rape later in the story.

    Good. It’s what he deserves. I was 9 or 10 when that happened and I remember thinking it was so gross and being confused why people were just like…cool with it? I’m glad people are calling him out now - better late than never, I guess.

      Boomers have a much higher tolerance of SA and grooming. Look at how it’s just accepted that Rock Stars could have underaged… pursuits.

        They really do. My own father married a 17 year old when he was 26 (years before he met my mom), and I spent a long time trying to justify it to myself with the fact that a lot of people did that kind of thing in the 70s. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I was finally able to process my feelings about him as a human separate from my feelings about him as a father and just admit that was disgusting. He actually said her parents should’ve had him thrown in jail, but she was already a huge asshole (and still is) and they probably saw an opportunity to pawn her off on someone else. I’m not surprised she was a nightmare with everyone around her totally failing her, though.

        Yup. I can’t listen to classic rock because it’s near impossible to find a band or artist who wasn’t fucking people under 16.

    “Jerry Seinfeld and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss claimed they were “just friends” in the beginning of their relationship and only went public when she turned 18…”

    “…Shoshanna is a person, not an age. She is extremely bright. She’s funny, sharp, very alert. We just get along. You can hear the click.”

    And don’t forget:

      “If you don’t like it, cancel me!”

      Jerry probably shouldn’t be talking about other people’s ability to make bad decisions.

        In the declining years of his career perhaps he’s combative with everyone on purpose.

        “Just cancel me”, does he think there’s someone somewhere that decides who is unacceptable to the public?

        He wants to create a controversy just so his name can be in the news, all publicity is good publicity when you sell spectacle.

    Jerry Seinfeld and his family were in Caliber 3. During their visit to Israel last week, they came to us for a special and exciting activity with displays of combat, Krav Maga, assault dogs and lots of Zionism. It was great.”

          He went to a church where the pastor said some stuff others don’t like and people expected him to attack the pastor using their values.

          I saw this post the other day and laughed a bit about how often I see people who don’t realize that this is them. They tie themselves up trying justify why it’s okay because their values are TRUE while others are only true

          But because he didn’t do what they wanted him to do then he’s now a huge piece of shit with Spiked up hair, button up shirt, open all the way, sunglasses doing Jaegar Bombs all fucking night,

    It’s always amused me as a Jewish person that Jerry Seinfeld is so Jewish that he’s even only pedophilic with Jewish girls.

    I remember we had a coworker (in his late 20s or early 30s) gushing on how he celebrated his gfs 18th birthday. Then we all started doing the math when earlier he had mentioned they had been together for 2 years.
