“Dateline” aired its latest expose on internet predators. Authorities pose as children to trap perverts posing as humans. This latest sting was set up in the Bible Belt. And yes, several men actually brought Bibles. And don’t ask about the belts.

The show reveals a disturbing internet courtship ritual based almost entirely on the ability to misspell short words. What a time savings it must be for a teenager, to be able to type “UR”, instead of the tedious “You are.” I suspect teens use this free time to clean up their rooms. LOL.

Nineteen men drove upwards of three hours to meet these underage kids. This brings up the real question: How high does the price of gasoline have to get before these men stop traveling three states to hook-up with “NotGoodAtMathQT?” :}

There is a vicarious thrill to these shows. We’re able to observe people on TV that we would never want in our homes. Like Rosie O’Donnell.

What lessons are to be learned from these programs?

1) It’s impossible to distinguish a predator based on appearance. (Although surprisingly, most of them are named “Larry”.)

And...

2) If UR ever on-line chatting with “ViagraDidntWork4Me75”, that really is my picture. I can’t help it if I look like Brad Pitt. ROTFL!!!!
