Operator of Clean Flix Arrested For Statutory Rape; 7 People On Planet Surprised

The operator of the Utah-based Flix Club, which, as part of the Clean Flix chain, drew fire from major studios for removing scenes depicting sex and violence from home videos, has been arrested in Orem, Utah on charges of having sex with underaged girls. According to Orem police, Daniel Thompson also told the girls that his business was actually a cover for a pornography studio and asked them to participate in making a porn movie. The police report also said that they uncovered a "large quantity" of pornography at Thompson's business. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Thompson told the arresting officers that he was unaware that the girls were not of legal age and that the porn movies were for his "personal use." Thompson previously operated the Clean Flix franchise in Orem but shut it down last month after giving away 400 sanitized versions of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The studios, he said at the time, had told him that "if I don't shut down, they would break me."

"Seriously, I was testing my new invention, Clean Flixxx, for people that just want to see only plot points in pornos. Honest."

Ah, Justin, your Nelson pic describes my feelings about this better than I can. I wonder what poor Glenn Beck will think since he championed that service for so long.

But which part of the business was he championing? Was Beck trying to keep this guy in business so he could still get his quota of kiddie porn every day?

Utah, you say? Well, it's not his fault, God told him to rape the girls!

I would like to propose that, henceforth, we assume that all extremely vocal, homophobic, anti-sex, censorious middle-aged white men are probably, secretly, raging perverts. It would just save everyone involved a lot of time.

Is it too soon to put him in the death by irony thread? Or does this not count? Either way, I'm laughing all the way to the bank.

Didn't you get the memo? We've been doing that since '97.

More proof that if you don't see horrible disturbing things in movies you do them in real life.

So champion one married man and one married woman, neither of whom had ever seen another person's genitals until their wedding night, who then proceed to make babies with an absolute minimum of pleasure for the rest of their intimate lives. Go nuts. Hold rallies. Make signs. Picket porn shops and gay weddings. To your heart's content. But don't get upset when we assume you've got a dungeon in your basement full of sex toys, underage prostitutes, and farm animals. Because you do, and we both fucking know it, don't we?

Not to derail this into an ad for another site, but you have to read his greatest column ever.

All I can think is the guy missed an opportunity to sell versions of the movies with nothing but the stuff he cut out. Talk about leaving money on the table. Next to the underage girl he picked up at Orange Julius.

Testify!

This story seems taken from a South Park script. Starring Eric and Butters of course.
