For their part, PETA is saying that they intended the pamphlet, entitled "A Cow's Life" to be filled with cartoon images instead, but that volunteers mixed them up.

The facts of everyone's death are, contrary to popular belief, not something everyone and their mother should be privy too. He died, it was because of his addiction, the end. Why does how he was using need to be plastered on the internet?

So she shouldn't have accepted child support and have been destitute, living perhaps at taxpayer expense? I don't see your point. Woody was their stepfather and after the molestation allegations he fought for sole custody of them—because he didn't consider himself to be their Dad?

It is not. Their indifference/endorsement has moral implications. It shows that they have no moral integrity and that they would do anything for a fee/social advancement/social recognition/etc. OR that they don't believe the allegations.

This is the reason I made a distinction between those who have the freedom to choose their projects and those who don't have the freedom to choose who they work for. There is a big fucking difference between being Scarlett Johansson with limitless possibilities for what roles she can take, and a broke 19-year-old…

But what we're all saying with the Roman Polanski example is that an acclaimed director CAN rape a child and have the Hollywood establishment wave it away. That IS relevant to your claim that somehow if it were true, everyone would suddenly despise Woody Allen. Look at all the people here who are essentially arguing…

Ooookay then, after this conversation and your gross rant in the grays, I think I'm done with you now.

Nope, it wouldn't. Look at Roman Polanski. He gave a 13 year old alcohol and raped her. He still gets lifetime achievement awards and works with well known actors even though he can come back to the US without getting arrested.

I'm not suggesting that you're overlooking it, but that the actors who work with him are.

I don't see how a victim enjoying the monetary wealth of their victimizer is analogous to a reciprocally beneficial alliance involving celebrities. The entire underlying ethos of civil tort law is that individuals are entitled to financial remuneration due to the damage they've incurred. Blanchett, Keaton, Watts,…

Personally I find myself unable to overlook someone's pedophilia in any context, and I find it genuinely odd that there are people who can treat it as something to be compartmentalized. But hey, that's just me.

I suspect the use of specific names was also to draw attention to the fact that he's still working in Hollywood. I suspect a lot of people are oblivious to the fact that Woody Allen still makes movies, and think of him in that sense of "oh yeah, that guy who made Annie Hall back in the day." To be honest, I kind of…

But morality doesn't occur in a vacuum, and Cate Blanchett, at the very least, has specifically championed Allen as a male director who is wonderful because of his ability to understand and relate to women. Sure, that's implicitly within an artistic context, but it also suggests a broader endorsement of his…

Roman Polanski, anyone?

Right, but the point is to consider the line at which "sexual predator" overtakes "critically acclaimed." I worked at a remove from Woody Allen for about six months, as an intern at a theatre company where he was staging his work, and I was uncomfortable the whole time. I don't give a shit how good of a movie "Annie…

Whaaaaaa? No, I don't think I will take to task a sexual abuse survivor for being supported by her father. That's fucking crazy.

I don't think Allen was protected simply because of his wealth—I think it really was more of the status thing. He was really seen as this American Genius film maker in New York. There were some acknowledged missteps—Stardust Memories—but Allen had this aura. And his relationships with Diane Keaton and then Mia…

I know right? I now wonder who, on British children's TV, actually WASN'T a pedo. Because it's beginning to sound like it was pretty much most of them

Even if he weren't a pedo-bear he looks like the type of guy who wanks to up-skirt and revenge porn and enjoys hugging women and girls so he can "accidentally" feel them up. He looks as if a fedora is engraved upon his soul. His facial expression and demeanor screams out "creeper".

Manhattan is the worst.
