Well, I'm not sure what to think about all this.
I got a text from a friend the other day saying “Asia Argento lolol” and had to do a little search to see what was going on. Last I’d heard she was busy . She then basked in the sympathies due her as a devastated lover, before returning to her regularly scheduled duties as #metoo heroine…until it turned out she’d she’d fucked when he was underage.
Kinda like that , champion of the cause until it emerged that he enjoyed beating the shit out of women himself. Just goes round and round, doesn’t it? It reminds me of the cop investigating the burglary at my house a few years ago. “It’s nice to help an actual victim now and then. The part of town I usually work, the same guy is one day victim, one day suspect.”
There’s a bit of a frenzy in right-leaning circles at the moment to flush out what they view as a festering pit of pedophiles in Hollywood, one notable outcome being the firing of A-list director James Gunn. Gunn’s favorite pastimes seem to be a) directing kids’ movies, and b) making lots of videos and jokes (haha!) about fucking kids. Hollywood mostly sprang to his defense, circling the wagons against the “” (here we go again) drive to ruin him.
Other interesting stories I’ve seen pop up: Anthony Kiedis’ that his dad arranged for Cher to babysit him, at which point the two had sex. He was 13, she 30. This has been sanitized in more recent retellings to indicate that he merely saw her undress.
A more amazing one is the story of McCauley Culkin’s that got quickly memory-holed, in which he detailed a producer on the set of “Home Alone” coming on to him and claiming to have shoes made of the skin of another child star.
That one may get pretty far afield as to sources and credibility, so let’s bring it back to earth. Here’s Shirley Temple telling a delightful story to Larry King, wherein Louis Mayer (the second “M” in MGM) sends off the child actress to an office with his associate Arthur Freed, while Mayer stays behind with Shirley’s mom:

What’s remarkable, to my mind, is how utterly unremarkable this story seems to King. Guffaw! Well you know us Jews–we sure do like to fuck kids. After the break, let’s talk sports.
To be fair, not every person listed in this story is Jewish. Culkin isn’t, the cop at my house probably wasn’t, and Cher is only an . As for the rest: Argento, Bourdain, Schneiderman, Gunn, Kiedis dad and son, Mayer, Freed, Temple mom and daughter, and Larry King, holy fuckin’ hell! That’s 11 out of 14, with an unknown in the Culkin producer (anybody want odds?). If you think I intentionally wove the narrative to scoop up Jews, I’m sorry to say you’re wrong.
Good news, though: if Jews are over-represented in the kid-fucking, that’s because they’re over-represented in Hollywood more generally. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned for sure, it’s that if you see Jewish over-representation somewhere, you can safely attribute it to higher intelligence and an ingrained work ethic. See? The story has a happy ending (especially for you kids, wink wink) after all.
