From what I remember of it
Townsend admitted to signing up to a child porn site. He claimed it was a result of his "rock star arrogance". What a crock of shit.
By signing up for the child porn site, he is enabling the scum who make child porn. By creating the demand for child porn he is encouraging the supply of it. Plain and simple.
Yes we all have our pecadillos, but then there are some who have pecados. I draw the line at child abuse. Artisitic merit or not. I didn't forgive Michael Jackson and I won't forgive Pete Townsend.
