Bad Touch



OK, so Jerry Sandusky has a new lawyer and this guy is really bringing some ideas to the table.

"Some of these kids don't have basic hygiene skills. Teaching a person to shower at the age of 12 or 14 sounds strange to some people, but people who work with troubled youth will tell you there are a lot of juvenile delinquents and people who are dependent who have to be taught basic life skills like how to put soap on their body."

I don't know about you, but if I ever had to be in a position where kids and water were involved, be it a bath, a shower, or a sprinkler, bathing suits are being worn by the kids. That's just a fact. Additionally, my wife works in a middle school and if a kid with a tough home life or some special needs had any hygiene issues, they wouldn't rush them off to the locker room for a hands-on demonstration. They give them the soap, or deodorant, and tell them to try that at home.

With that said, check out this Irish Spring Commercial from 1979:



A few things on that video...

First, its good to see homo erotic commercials were still alive and well in the year of my birth.

Second, there is some SERIOUS chest hair going on.

Third, if that hairy blonde dude doesn't look like a young Jerry Sandusky, I'll eat my shirt. So, I'm not telling the defense lawyers how to do their job, but I think they could argue that by being in this commercial, Jerry Sandusky thought homo eroticism and showering went hand-in-hand. Then, they go for a class action lawsuit against Irish Spring and their homo erotic commercials.

I didn't even go to law school and that's better than any defense they have come up with so far.
