Stickam and the USS NAMBLA

If the Internet has taught us anything, it’s that there’s a fetish for everything. 

Type into a search engine “Strip Bingo,” and there’s probably a Web site.  Type in, “Dwarf Nuns Peeling Apples,” and you know someone out there is using the self-serving pump to those images at this very moment.

Yes, the Internet has taught us that there’s a fetish for everything.  However, it has also given creepy jackasses new tools to get their rocks off.

Let’s take a look at Stickam. 

Stickam is a mix of MySpace and video conferencing.  Anyone can sign-up.  Actually, you don’t even need to sign-up.  You can click on any camera at any time and watch the person.

My sister introduced me to Stickam.  I thought, “This is great!  I can log on and chat with my sister.  How cool.”

My sister lives in another town.  I don’t see her everyday.  And for the record, she is the coolest 15-year-old ever.  That girl that stole her pants needs to return them.  I will hunt you down.  Not in a creepy pedophile way.  I’ll just hunt you down.  Actually, I’m all talk.  I won’t hunt you down.  But, will you please return her pants?

Back to my rant.

I logged on to create my account.  What I found was a room full of mostly emo kids.  Their ages ranged from 14-years-old to 24-years-old.  But on every page, there was one creepy older person. 

Here’s the account of one creepy older person:

 His name is “Captain Pedophile”  (I’m not making this up.  I hoped this was a joke, but it’s not. Seriously.  This is not a joke.)

Captain Pedophile’s hobbies include “Luring little boys into my chat, and grooming / coaxing them into getting naked for me, then recording is for my later ‘use’.”  His favorite movie is Harry Potter and he loves the Disney Channel.  According to his profile, he doesn’t “care where you are, as long as you are young and get naked” for him.

            What class.

            What really makes me angry is his love for Star Trek.  He’s a Star Trek fanatic.  Is every Star Trek fan a creepy pedophile?  I love Star Trek and I’m not a creepy pedophile.  I don’t even go the conventions.  Okay, I’ve been twice, but I don’t dress-up.  “Captain Pedophile” probably believes he is the captain of the USS NAMBLA and must hunt for Cling-Ons (Klingons) in boys underwear.   

            What keeps his account open?  Stickam’s rules.   No one is required to sign-up, nor sign-in.  “Captain Pedophile” could be watching you or your children right now. 

I still like the idea of Stickam and chatting with my sister.  I just don’t know if I’m comfortable with lurkers jerking off to me.  What makes me certain people would masturbate to me?  Because, there is a fetish for everything.
