LeTourneau hosts 'Hot for Teacher' night at Seattle bar
:popcorn:

Mary Kay LeTourneau, who was imprisoned as a 34-year-old teacher for raping a sixth-grade student, will host a "Hot for Teacher" night this weekend at a Seattle bar, KOMO-TV and the Associated Press report.

KOMO reports that Mike Morris, owner of the Fuel Sports Eats & Beats bar, says the event "is all in fun, and he hopes people take it in the right spirit."

LeTourneau, now 47, later married the student, Vili Fualaau, now 26, after serving 7 1/2 years in prison. Fualaau will also be at bar, working as the D.J. for the Top 40 event.

"It's turned into sort of a love story," says Morris. "I realize it had a sick twist at the beginning, but they're both adults now. They're both married by the state of Washington. So, it's just go and have fun on a Saturday night -- and if people are looking to have some fun, just come check us out."

1. Yes Virginia, people do make money in America catering to the sick.
This is truly sick IMHO

2. She should at least still be on probation....

....and banned from doing stupid things like this.

Hmmm...wonder who will turn out?? There may be people there who don't like this idea.

3. While her cimre was obviously objectionable.
I don't know how much of a problem I have with this as such.

8. What if the roles were reversed?
and a male teacher abused a 13-year-old girl, went to prison for it, then got out, married the now-adult girl & organized a hootchie-cootchie show around the former object of his abuse?

No matter how you answer, your previously-stated ambivalence has caught the attention of a fellow waiting outside who'd like to have a little talk with you.

16. What's interesting, though, is that there are countries where the age of consent is 15.
I believe in Chile the age of consent for males is 18, and for females 15. I also thought in Spain it was, like, 13, regardless of gender. Pretty shocking to most Americans, I'd bet (if those ages are correct).

7. Sometimes the world picks us up, whomps us up side the head, and says: "No! that's not who you are!"

9. A male would still be in prison
but because she's a female somehow the crime is viewed differently. It was still the rape of a child, I don't see why it should be celebrated.

14. Not in this state. Her sentence was longer than typical
for males accused of her crime.

18. Remember though, LeTourneau was given probation
at first but then went out and reoffended.

20. You're right,
I'd forgotten that. Still, the average sentence in this state for statutory rape with an adolescent isn't very long. People who think that a male offender would still be in prison are incorrect.

That whole situation is so beyond weird, I don't know what to think of it.

13. Let me just wring my hands over it for a minute ...
Okay. I'm done.

I still don't give a flying fuck-all.

Best of luck to the happy couple. They deserve it after sacrificing so much to advance the careers of so many newly-minted Professionals from several prosecutors' offices, departments of juvenile welfare, and TV news teams, not to mention numerous other professional pedo-frenzy organizers.

--d!

17. I just love how the slimy bar owner attempts to justify what he's doing.
"It's turned into sort of a love story," says Morris. "I realize it had a sick twist at the beginning, but they're both adults now."

Yeah, I mean, it was once a 12-year-old boy sleeping with his teacher, but what the heck, all's well that ends well...

Excuse me while I :puke:

19. How about a "Shoot Your Boyfriend's Wife in the Head" night hosted by Amy Fisher
maybe they can offer a special on shots and free admission if you've served time for attempted murder or statutory rape.:eyes:
