Evan Emory performed a song before children...later, edited the audio...and posted it to YouTube.  In it, he appeared to sing a song about sex...he didn't actually sing dirty things to kids:  he edited the video so it appears he did.  And, twice in the video, he stated so...

Through a plea deal, he dodged a "manufacturing child pornography" charge...and now will not need to register as a sex offender.  Officials charged him for “manufacturing child abusive material”...Emory pleaded no contest to "unlawful posting of an Internet message with aggravating circumstances."

Judge William C. Marietti, of the Muskegon County 14th Circuit Court, sentenced Emory to:
60 days in jail, two years probation, and 200 hours of community service.  Emory must attend mandatory counseling, and pay fines and costs.  He also has been ordered to stay away from public places where children hang out (such as parks, playgrounds and pools), and cannot be within 500 feet of children under the age of 17.

I tried to find a national, toll-free telephone number that children and teenagers can use to get help when they have been bullied...but was unsuccessful.  If one exists, let me know and I'll mention it in our podcast and post it on this blog.

Below is a link to the story of the father who encouraged his son to fight another teenager.  There is much more to the incident than has been shown on some television news programs:

It appears that his son has been bullied, and the father instructed his son...in an effort to cause the bully to no longer harrass his son...to physically confront the bully.

Notes for the March 22 podcast

The movie we discussed that has been released on the internet, on YouTube, is "Girl Walks Into a Bar".

"GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR connects a group of apparent strangers over one night across ten bars throughout Los Angeles. Zachary Quinto stars as a dentist who teams up with a feisty would-be assassin (Carla Gugino) to put the final touches on the plan to kill his wife. Once he makes a play for the assassin's payment, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that fuels a crosstown journey through the many lounges, bars, strip clubs and the occasional nudist ping pong clubs scattered across Los Angeles. By turns funny and heartbreaking, this sharp-witted comedy features ten interconnected vignettes that build to a revealing finish."

Carla Gugino (Faster, Watchmen)

Japanese Culture -- A Primer For Newcomers


"...This site is to familiarize you with a few basic characteristics of Japanese culture and behavior that the westerner will encounter. There are many reactions and attitudes that Japanese will give off -- many of them the typical westerner would ordinarily not pick up on. But if you come to Japan and want to have better relations, as well as a better understanding of how many Japanese people think and perceive you, there are a lot of key items you should be aware of..."
