When I heard last night that Reddit moderators had once again shut down the appropriately named Jailbait, the pedo’s go-to source for sexxxy pics of underage poon on the internet, I thought, “Uh oh…those pervy freaks must have really gone and done it now!” And, as it turns out, they have, to the point where there was apparently some concern that all of Reddit might get shuttered because a few horny fiends couldn’t control their carnal impulses.
Gawker’s Adrian Chen, a quite affable fellow who surfs the internet’s asshole as deftly as Laird Hamilton surfs a tsunami, reports that a virtual feeding frenzy broke out among Jailbait’s kiddie porn lovers over some pics of a 14 year-old in her underwear giving someone head. Sounds about right.
The scandal started late Sunday night, when a user named TheContortionist posted a picture of what he claimed was his then-14-year-old girlfriend to Jailbait…The picture TheContortionist posted on Sunday was of his 14-year-old supposed ex-girlfriend’s underwear-clad butt. Nothing out of the ordinary for Jailbait. But users quickly began clamoring for more. TheContortionist admitted to having child pornography, telling users “this is the only non nude photo I have of her.” Still, more than 70 Redditors begged TheContortionist to send them the underage nude pictures via Reddit’s private message system.
After a few hours, TheContortionist relented somewhat and posted another picture. “Fine, here!” he wrote. “Note: I had to edit the photo for obvious reasons. Enjoy your fap.”
According to Matthew Sharkey, a Reddit user who was monitoring the thread at the time, the picture was of a child’s face with blond hair. The top and bottom of the image was censored with images of the Power Puff Girls, but Sharkey says that, based on unobscured parts of the image and comments made by TheContortionist, the girl in the picture was engaged in oral sex. (Sharkey notified the FBI about the thread soon after.)
Chen adds that the folks running the site were so worried about what had happened that rather than just take down the single thread in question, they shut down the entire board “due to threatening the structural integrity of the greater reddit community.”
To illustrate how devastating this action is to the pedo-perv denizens of Jailbait, I think a before and after in gif form is called for.
Before…
After…
