I must say, this really is a surprise.
WARNING: Don’t click at work or around children that can read.Â
UPDATED WARNING: The link doesn’t take you to anything at all related to the ODBA. In fact, you will have NAMBLA’s site on your computer screen. Click with caution; there are no graphic pictures, but the site is offensive to most. My apologies to all those who clicked and were unpleasantly surprised.Â

Wow, that’s weird. Any idea what’s up with that?
August 21st, 2007 at 8:23 am
Methinks it’s something like an online Freudian slip. Check back in eight to ten years.

Inappropriate and cowardly. For someone to hide behind Domains By Proxy and point this site to pedophilia is unacceptable and shows the character of some elements on the other side of the divide.

Kat is calling them to get them to release the name, and when she gets it, we’ll post it here.
August 21st, 2007 at 11:12 am
Yeah…I’m reading some blogs on my lunch time and I just clicked on that. Hopefully I’ll still be employed over the next couple of hours.
Could I suggest that you put a warning or disclaimer or something advising people about the explicit nature of the link so they don’t do what I just did? It could say something like “Don’t click at work” or “Don’t click around children”….not telling you how to run your blog…just offering a suggestion.
Well, the Pentagon Death Squads haven’t swarmed my office yet so that’s a good sign…..
August 21st, 2007 at 11:13 am
Yeah, I’ll put up a warning. Good idea.
August 21st, 2007 at 11:21 am
Whackette - How did you find this?
August 21st, 2007 at 11:22 am
Yeah, for crying out loud, now I’ve got a visit to some Nambla site on my internet history. Posting that link without a warning about what it is only compounded the original transgression.
August 21st, 2007 at 12:05 pm
How about just telling people where the link takes them instead of making people actually click it? There isn’t anything more vile on the internet than that. So ends my travels on this site.

grs:
We all share your view regarding where this link’s site.
I know The Whackette was not trying to mislead anyone or purposefully trick you into clicking on the link. Whackette is a full time Mom and not a full time blog/website administrator so she can’t anticipate every contingency. I noticed that her warning was posted seconds after I posted my suggestion. Also, most workplace webservers can show how long one stays on a specific site so it’s plainly obvious that if you spent just one second on the site your visit was unintentional.
I hope you will reconsider your decision to stop reading The Daily Whackjob.
August 21st, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Yeah I totally clicked on that at work, too, before you put up a disclaimer. What am I going to do about that? Proactively go around telling people how much I enjoy having sex with adult women?
Thanks folks.

Well, Domains By Proxy/GoDaddy has been reluctant to release any info to us. Admittedly, it is an understandable action considering all the privacy laws. But they have also refused - so far - to at least get rid of that redirect to that site which promotes ped0philia (mis spelling obviously intentional, since I doubt either Greg or Whackette want this site coming up on THAT sort of search).
So, we’ve put in a more formal letter requesting the re-redirect and also the release of the owner’s name. We’ll see what happens.
August 21st, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Kat, you may also want to go to Godaddy.com, where it was registered, and ask them to assist.
August 21st, 2007 at 1:04 pm
I sent in an e-mail to abuse@godaddy.com, and they replied that they needed our copyright (!!!!). That’s when we went to the more formal letter, framed by one of our members who is a lawyer.
I’m not certain if it’s “legalese” enough to be a formal “cease and desist” (and that’s something I’d generally shy away from, anyway), but it was phrased in such a way that they ought to take it a bit more seriously. After all, I’m just a nobody calling with a complaint in their eyes
I think, though, if the domain can be released/transfered, I’ll grab it and make sure it stays pointed more, um, appropriately.
August 21st, 2007 at 2:25 pm
So much hate for little ole pedophiles. I say, love ‘em as much as you do queers, er, I mean gays.
August 21st, 2007 at 9:14 pm
Even for you, HRR, that’s pretty outrageous. Not funny, not funny at all.
August 21st, 2007 at 10:42 pm
What the hell are you people doing blogging at work? When recession comes, it will be because of the drain on workplace productive caused by at-work blogging.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:21 am
Cory, please, haven’t you seen “Office Space?”
If not, make sure that you do. Yeah, that would be greaaaat. I mean, really…no one actually “works” the full day in an office; furthermore, one is not actually expected to.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:02 am
I’m too busy completing TPS reports to watch movies.
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:29 am
Born in the USA, what you gonna do in a couple of years when queers can legally marry? The age where young girls can marry is 14 or 15 in some states. Guess what, my ignorant little acquaintance: THAT MEANS NAMBLA ADVOCATES WILL BE ABLE TO MARRY THEIR LITTLE BOYS TOO. How you gonna feel then? All this hate for pedophiles has got to stop. Jesus loves the little Pedophiles, all the little pedophiles of the world, red and yellow black and whiiiite
[editor's note: the rest was left off. A loud thunderclap was heard, and HRR was taken lifeless from the room]

Rudder:
An extremely compelling argument to do away with these archaic aspects of the law allowing anybody (male or female)under 18 to get married…even with parental consent. In the 21st century, no 14-15 year old has the psychological maturity nor the education/job skills to make a marriage work. In fact, if I had my way the age of majority would be returned to 21. Sorry to anyone under age 21 who’s offended. It’s taken me 36 years to realize how completely stupid I was at 18.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Actually, now that I think about it, it’s taken me 36 years to realize how completely stupid I was at 34.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Anyone else think Jay’s math is screwed up?
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:28 pm
He had me totally confused there for a while, but I think he means it’s taken him until he turns 36 to realize ….
Surely that handsome young guy can’t be 54 (or 70)!
August 22nd, 2007 at 6:03 pm
NNJH, I agree about the comment about taking so long to figure out how dumb I was at that age, too.
As to the merits of what you said, don’t take this personally, but the cynic in me wonders whether you are just saying this for now, because you support homosexual marriages. And you realize pedophiles creep all us heteros out, even yer liberal buddies. And so you gotta pretend like what NAMBLA wants, you don’t support it. Then, you perhaps will support them, and once homosexual marriage is legalized, the NAMBLA folks can chip away at the next frontier, so to speak. You know, get what you can, when you can, then axe for more later?
I am not trying to be confrontational. If that isn’t your motive, even subliminally, then I’ll bet a lot of others of your ilk will take the same position, and it WILL be their motivation. I know how these people work, they are not gonna stop, and they have momentum of movement of society on their side, if they can just be patient and not push to hard to quickly, they too can get what they want. Mark my words. Little twits like jaime, mebbe her hippy dippy kids some day, will be posting inane little comments like “Don’t hate, support pedophile marriages” and “Be like Europe, Support NAMBLA.”

Linda B:
But I look damn good for 54, eh Linda B? LLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Thank you very much for the kind words but I’m only 36. My meaning was to convey that it’s taken me all my life to realize just how stupid, naive, arrogant, etc. I was at 18.
Rudder:
First of all, I do not support gay marriage. Believe it or not, I believe that the word “marriage†has a specific definition. Just like the word “rattlesnake†has a specific meaning. You can take an eastern diamondback rattlesnake and try to call it a “snuggle-wuggle snake†but it’s still an extraordinarily dangerous, venomous reptile whose bite will cause you serious harm and, probably, death. Similarly, I believe the word “marriage†implies the union of 1 man and 1 woman. What I do support are civil unions that are entirely constructs of the state that would convey the rights and responsibilities of marriage but would, in no way, compel recognition by religious institutions.
Second, what can I do to make you believe and/or understand that the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority of gay people are NOT pedophiles? Anyone who is a pedophile should be apprehended, prosecuted and severely punished. We understand that pedophiles HARM children and want them punished just as much, if not, more than you. Neither myself, Eddie nor any gay person I know is a pedophile. If I had any suspicion whatsoever that someone I knew was a pedophile I would immediately report them to law enforcement authorities for investigation/prosecution as would every gay person I know. In fact, I wish law enforcement authorities would swarm en masse any kind of NAMBLA mass meeting and take every, single participant into custody for investigation.
Third, believe it or not, I understand and respect your concern that we’re on a slippery slope that will eventually end up with adults being able to have sex with children. So let me make you this promise: Eddie and I will always stand shoulder to shoulder with you to fight any initiative that would attempt to legitimize sexual relations between an adult and a minor regardless of sexual orientation. I’ve already made clear my discomfort with existent legal allowances for adult/minor marriages via parental consent.
August 22nd, 2007 at 9:14 pm
Based on Mr. Hughes’s comment 26, I suspect he is about as popular at Equality Virginia dinners as I was. I agree with him about marriage, and we’re only off on civil unions by a word.
On the other hand, I must disclose that I have had carnal knowledge of minor boys. Of course, I was a minor boy myself at the time, so I don’t consider myself altogether morally compromised compared to any other adolescent boy who engaged in physical relations with an adolescent partner of the sex to which he is oriented.
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:32 pm
Cory:
The fact that I’m a bow-hunter who kills wild turkeys for Thanksgiving rendered me PNG (persona non grata) at Equality dinners a long, long time ago.
Thank you for the kind words regarding my views on marriage/civil unions. May I ask as to our disagreement on civil unions? I deeply respect your intellect, education and writing skills so I’m very interested in reading your views.
I’m off to New York City tomorrow to celebrate, with the Supreme Commander, his mother’s 60th birthday so I ask your indulgence regarding any delay to your response.

I prefer civil partnership to civil union. I prefer having a civil partner to having a civil unionee. Domestic partnership is probably a better term, lexicographically, but it’s being used as “civil-union-lite” these days.
My doctor and I are mocked for referring to each other to third parties as “my doctor” and “my lawyer.” I can only imagine what you suffer for using the sobriquet “Supreme Commander.”
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:47 pm
Understood re: civil union v. civil partner. Thank you for sharing that.
I suffer nothing for referring to Eddie as the “Supreme Commander” and neither should you for referring to your partner as “My Doctor”. So far nobody has had the balls to confront me directly and I heartily invite that confrontation.
As always, Cory, it’s very nice chatting with you. That dining invitation still stands here at our house for you and your partner.
August 23rd, 2007 at 7:33 am
Well, Jay, I’ve already seen that I have much more in common with your political/philosophical views than I do with most people’s views who post here. [I know, don't do you any favors. That's as helpful as Pat Robertson's
endorsement of Hitlery would be to her base support.]
It really isn’t so much your views that are going to destroy society, it is the views of people such as Phriendlyjaime’s. If I seem harsh on her, it’s because I view her as a useful idiot to those whose earnest goal is to push the envelope further than you feel comfortable (at least for now) pushing it. In my view, the problem is that a growing large minority–if not already a majority–of citizens have the same or similar attitude as she does. It’s almost like they think it is “cool” to see how tolerant they can be. When you adopt the un-thinking goofy worldview that people like her have, there is no depth too deep for society to sink. Unless they eventually grow up and change their views.
I can predict right here, “scientists” and sociologists will soon “discover” that homosexual encounters of adults with adolescents is actually beneficial. They were born homosexual, after all, right? And they were gonna commit homosexual acts with other adolescents any way, right? So, might as well cement their predilictions/orientations at an early age with somebody who can show them the ropes, right? Yeah, that will elicit the ick factor from a lot of people. For now. Then unthinking but “compassionate” useful idiots will start “reasoning”: “Yeah, that makes sense. Besides, if it feels good, do it!” I hope I’m wrong in my prophecy, but I know I’m right.
