(HMG) – As we reported here a while back, classic 60′s rock-band, The Who, led by its two sole survivors, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, are set to be the headline act at next year’s Superbowl.
Considering CBS uses several ‘Who’ songs in their CSI shows and they have the rights to the broadcast next year, choosing The Who seemed like a patent no-brainer. Problem is Pete Townshend is considered a registered sex offender in the UK from 2003 to 2008. More on the considered part in a sec.
Anti-child abuse groups Child AbuseWatch and particularly ‘Protect Our Children’ have called for Townshend to be stopped from entering the country and be taken into custody upon his reentry into Florida so that the provisions of FS775.21 may be applied — Sexual Offenders and Predators, which requires he submits DNA samples and fingerprints and poses for a police mug shot before being allowed to perform during America’s biggest sporting event in Miami, Florida.
So what did Townshend actually get busted for? He used his credit card to access a site which had child porn on it. He told the authorities it was for research he was doing to document how easy it is for real pedophiles to access child porn. Despite an investigation that turned up no child porn evidence in his home or computer, he had to register as a sex offender in the United Kingdom from 2003 to 2008, because of the credit card purchase. How this all plays out remains to be seen, but the NFL gets top dollar to run commercials during the Super Bowl, by sponsors who tend to get cold feet real fast when threats of boycotts emerge.
Evin Daly of AbuseWatch is going after Pete? Hmmm, this is what he has to say about sex, etc.

Townshend’s case was resolved in 2003. He’s been honored by VH-1, The Kennedy Center and toured the US at least three times since then. I want these two guys to stop their self-promotion campaign at the expense of Pete. Kudos to David Whitley for getting it right.http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/12/29/who-are-you-to-ban-townshend-from-super-bowl/?synd=1
The full facts of the case are available at Child AbuseWatch. Child AbuseWatch protested his Kennedy Center award and has repeatedly asked the INS why he was given a visa to enter the U.S.

Townshend admitted to and pleaded guilty to the crime of accessing and paying for viewing child pornography online and received a ‘caution’ (guilty plea with adjudication withheld) from the police and avoided a formal trial. He was never cleared of any charges and remained on the sex offender list from 2003 to 2008.

It’s actually a very interesting article. If you have a problem with it perhaps the issue is you, not the article
Oh please, Evin Daliy is scummy creep and his Men N Porn article is grotesque. What is he trying to prove. that he and his equally ugly wife watch porn to get off? who cares?
You should not be writing about Porn and how men need it to release jizz if you work for children’s welfare. what a hypocrite Daly is! He calls his website “The best news known to humanity” and he is an ugly grandstander. Pete Townshed was NEVER CRIMNALLY CHARGED and no child pornography had been stored to his computer. The law in the UK had people at that time registering whether they were innocent or guilty.
These “groups” (who are really just two unattractive men) could care less about children-they want attention and they want it put on someone else. Shades of the Catholic Church but you are never supposed to watch or question the watchers are you? I mean we have to believe everything they tell us right? how could they EVER be lying or be perverts themselves? Wake up!
Hey “Child Abuse Watch” why aren’t you going after real US sexual predators who are killing children every single week? How is going after Pete Townshend, who was never criminally charged, has zero criminal infractions since and who”s case was resolved over seven years ago going to save a child who is on the streets and/or at risk?
Is a child in immediate danger simply not as attention getting as going after a rock star and the NFL? Where does all your money come from to do this with by the way. Open your accounting up to the public please. Times are tough financially for many of us, so where do you get all these funds to siphon away from the children you claim to be protecting? You seem smugly replete with cash..
“The testes produce billions of sperm on a weekly basis; billions that don’t take kindly to sitting in the epididymis for long. They want out. Men produce an estimated quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000) sperm in a lifetime….As any sexually active woman knows, her significant other is driven to have sex. This is nature at work, pushing the male to reproduce above all else; sometimes to the expense of all else. The reward is an orgasm, relief, a reduction in stress, emotional bonding; and the start of a countdown until the next time.”

I mean come on, Evin Daly is a joke. He deserves no attention; not even for writing about his wee wee.
