Entertainment Tonight's Mary Kay Mud Mask

More on the moral stupidity of Entertainment Tonight and their celebration of Mary Kay LeTourneau who married the now-adult but then-child she raped, Vili Fualaau.

From this past week's column of Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center we find how truly reprehensible this show is!

Here's my favorite line of the column:
ET reporter Jann Carl hyped the wedding as "the icing on the cake of a notorious soap opera that still sparks admiration and outrage around the world." Wait a minute. Just who "admires" the rape of a 12-year-old boy, other than the folks at Paramount? She then hyped her exclusive first interview with the couple. She cooed: "Was it everything you dreamed?" Without giggling, Carl explained the new Mary Kay Fualaau hoped to teach again in the future, failing to add: If some school administrator can just compassionately look past that registered-pedophile record.

To bad the American Psychological Association didn't have Jann Carl and the resources of Entertainment Tonight writing their 1998 Psychological Bulletin article, "A Meta-Analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples", which suggested adult sex with willing children might not be harmful. They might not have had to retract the article.
