I was privileged to attend a private screening of the riveting, eye-opening documentary “An Open Secret” on Wednesday. Before the show, producer Gabe Hoffman explained the necessity of informing the public about child sex abuse in the entertainment industry.

I just watched a new (I assume, I don't watch much TV) commercial from Sonic fast foods, two men sitting in a car arguing about which hotdog is best one says having to decide on which is better is like having to pick you favorite children. Then has says "it doesn't get all mouthy at bathtime and it doesn't repeat everything i say back to her Mother." When I looked for it online the commercial shown had different last words.
I am stunned that we as a society accept these things, like the comedy movie Airplane at 1.52 mins see how he asks the little boy if he has ever seen a grown man naked! What is wrong with people, what is funny about that line it is disgusting!
We should all be ashamed we know what is going on around us and people seem to just laugh and act like it is innocent when clearly it is not! This is getting bigger and bigger and wider spread and no one seems to stand up and say NO!

It's called satire.
And, btw, it was 35 years ago. Do you think that the movie succeeded in "desensitizing" people to pedophilia?

I don't see how that has anything to do with child abuse.. Can you tell me why you would think that?

It's comedy. The only 'references' to child molestation are in your mind. I don't see anything offensive about it, but I don't typically think of things in terms of child molestation, so...
That's why we may never know the exact number of child victims. We do know that if we use the conservative estimate that two in every ten little girls and one in every ten little boys are victims (based on the population reported in the 1999 U.S. Census statistical abstract) well over three million children are victims.
Take a moment to think about that. Three million children is a staggering number of children. That's 46 National Football League stadiums packed with children who are, today, being sexually abused, and who believe they have no adult to go to for help.

There is nothing funny in the reference to seeing a grown man naked and there are enough children being abused that the reference certain is in poor taste!
What would you like to be done about poor taste in movies?
Satire. Look it up.

Lighten the F up.
Nice response there.
I see you are easily offended.
Maybe you should step back, and step forward and step back and now you're cha cha-ing.
And yet, you did. Or you would not have brought it up.
I would and do not watch a movie that makes a joke of children's loss of innocence.
That the sexual abuse of children is bad.
What exactly was the "satire" in that reference meant to convey?

But it was when he expressed some sympathy for child predators that the audience and the internet really turned on him. He says that being a convicted child molester is one of the worst things that can happen to a person, so the people doing it must really like it a lot if they’re willing to risk their freedom, families and reputation in order to keep doing it. Louis then compares it to how much he loves Mounds bars and says that teenage boys must be even more delicious.
