It Would Be Funny

If it wasn't so sick. I'm watching one of those "Dateline NBC" to-catch-a-predator specials, where they set up a fake house and scenario where real men come to the house expecting sex with a 13 year old girl they "met" online.

So many men come to the house that they have to usher one out the front door while another arrives in the garage. My first reaction is that it's hilarious that these dreadful men walk into these embarrassing traps, but when I think about how incredibly common this sh*t is, it's too much to contemplate.

Honestly, child molestation is so common that it's really hard for me not to believe that it's somehow hard-wired into the brain. Why else would it be so common, not just in our culture, but throughout the rest of the world as well?

P.S. This particular episode takes place in Northern California, no less! Yikes. Apparently, Dateline works with an organization called "Perverted Justice," which lures predators into incriminating situations, where the police arrest them.
