Applauding Child Molesters: The Woody Allen Story

          I'm just going to come out and say it: Woody Allen is a piece of shit. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about (and if not, please tell me how you get Internet service under a rock). If you want to claim that the sexual abuse claims by Dylan Farrow are simply unproven allegations, then you're in the wrong place. This is a place of intelligence.

          This male person (clearly he's not a man) decided that it was okay to go ahead and sexually molest a SEVEN YEAR OLD GIRL and unfortunately got away with it. It's bad enough that he got away with it, but the fact that the world opened their arms to this person, supported him with their ticket money and even celebrated his 'talent' is revolting to me. I don't care if someone is a genius; they're nothing but garbage when they do such despicable acts as he did.

          Here is a link to the open letter that Dylan Farrow recently released to the New York Times in which she publicly discusses her molestation for the first time. She has been living with memories of the acts that this scumbag committed for twenty years and when he received the Golden Globe lifetime achievement award, she finally decided to speak out publicly about it. Give it a read and I'm sure that you'll join me in a round of applause for this woman. If not, I'll give you a round of applause with your head between my hands, you jackass.

          Woody Allen was never prosecuted for the simple fact that the state attorney didn't want to make young Dylan testify. They had probable cause and I would bet my money that they could have convicted him had they prosecuted. It's a story we've heard far too many times- victims of sexual assault not wanting the attention or to relive their abuse, so the vile human beings that perpetrated the abuse are off the hook. Such is the case with Mr. I've-got-a-Woody-for-adolescent-girls Allen.

          Read that woman's story and what was done to her and tell me that this guy deserves accolades. Tell me that he deserved a lifetime achievement award, dozens of awards and tens of millions of dollars. Tell me that he deserves fame. I dare you. And I don't care if he is talented. I personally wouldn't know because I have never watched his films and I refuse to ever do so.

          I say shame on the millions of people who praise him. Shame on the actors who act in his films. Shame on the people who put money in his dirty pocket. All I really feel about this is shame. There are so many people I'm disappointed in: actors, film production companies, viewers, etc. You should all feel shame. In summary: Woody Allen is a sack of shit child molester, Dylan Farrow is a fighter and I have the utmost respect for her, and every one of the people who support this deviant and his work in any way leave a horrible taste in my mouth and a sick feeling in my stomach.
