So Seth Meyers has released a fake ad aimed at helping sexual predators sleep at night. Something tells me that the guys who are already being accused of being sexual predators might have gotten their hands on this pill ahead of the commercial since they seem to sleep just fine. Oy vey. This is definitely a funny stab at the witch hunt that’s going on at the moment concerning men who have been accused, rightly or wrongly, of sexual misconduct in some way, shape, or form. It does make you wonder how men that do such things sleep at night knowing that what they’ve done is something so heinous and wrong that they should be losing sleep thanks to what’s left of their conscience reminding them over and over of what they did in an unending loop of shame.
That’s what SHOULD be happening anyway.
At this point the issue in Hollywood seems to be spreading slowly but surely into the general population when it truth it’s been a problem that people have dealt with for years now. Sexual predators are nothing new and unfortunately there hasn’t been a lot done that can possibly deter them all. Those ideas that do come to mind are either ineffectual, temporary, or considered too brutal and inhumane to be considered as a long-term solution. But somehow, sarcasm alert, the sexual harassment and misconduct towards women goes unabated despite the hemming and hawing that’s being done about it at all levels.
Gosh, how could that possibly happen?
It’s not the worst thing in the world to laugh at it since as happens with anything humor takes some of the sting out of the real issue at hand. But the problem that still persists is that sexual predators are hard to pin down and in many cases hard to punish since the decision on how to deal with them seems to arouse such controversy. If we’re too hard on them people will say we’re not solving the problem we’re just punishing the perpetrator on the taxpayer’s dime. if we’re not hard enough on them then people were saying that we’re letting sex offenders off with a slap on the wrist which sets a very dangerous precedent. There’s no real way to win this situation at the moment other than to punish them one way for the first offense and lock them up, make them pay a fine, or find another, alternative way to deal with them that either affects the taxpayer and does nothing, or bypasses the taxpayer and does nothing.
At this point the only real way to truly punish a sex offender is to send them to jail on the taxpayer’s dime and announce over the loudspeaker just what they did to land themselves in the slammer. Now granted, a lot of people would call this cruel and unusual, but it would be highly satisfying to those that didn’t see it that way. It wouldn’t be as easy as taking a pill and it certainly wouldn’t allow them to sleep so well at night. Wouldn’t that be justice?
