    what a sincere apology - not

    i went back and read your original post.

    you weren't joking - your intentions were perfectly clear

    you called the story: "Broadsheet's vote for feel-good story of the holiday season!"

    ended with: "Isn't it nice to know that with or without a judge and jury, the universe takes care of karmic justice?"

    So why don't you just ... "own it" as they say, rather than throw up that lame-ass apology?

    I mean, I'm a man and I wish I had thought of making videos of drunk girls to show their tits. (for the record, i've never watched one of these videos) But I thought the story of his abduction was kind of funny, in a perverse way.

    I did not know he was charged with filming minors and possibly giving them drugs.

    His kidnapper did not pick him by accident. The asshole lives in that world. They are high-risk players and the stakes can be high. Both Francis and his kidnapper are the kinds of people who inhabit it. Sleaze indeed.

    It was karmic justice. Let it be.

    Don't apologize.
