Gary Glitter is persistent

HANOI, Vietnam - A Vietnamese court reduced former British rocker Gary Glitter's child molestation sentence Wednesday, cutting his three-year term by three months as part of a nationwide Lunar New Year prison amnesty, a judge said. Glitter, convicted of molesting two Vietnamese girls, will now be released in August 2008, said Tran Thi Thien Huong, a judge on the deciding panel.

The 62-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children." He later went to Cambodia but was expelled from that country in 2002. Cambodian officials did not specify a crime or file charges against him.

In my book: any man whose name rhymes with God (Gaad), has amazing hair, rocks (and pulls off) rhinestones, and has an air of confidence such as Gary G, should be free to grope anybody he damn well pleases.

But just say that my little rule doesn't apply in these third-world countries... I think that the only thing that Mr. Glitter should be guilty of (other than being too awesome) is just being cheap. Rumor has it... One could have a room full of virgins for weeks on end in places such as these for pennies on the dollar. Think about that: ten dollars, for unlimited sex with virgins. I just don't get why he wouldn't just spend the ten bucks and take some of these little fuckers behind the woodshed. I mean the guy produced songs for the Beatles before becoming simply-awesome in the 70's. Ten fucking dollars Gary... TEN BUCKS!!!

Best part is, Gary was actually formally kicked out of Cambodia. I mean, how do you call mom and explain to her that you actually did enough sick shit to get kicked out of a country where it is socially acceptable to crap on 8 year olds (if you have the cash of course)? At that point, you are officially the lowest of the low. I liken it to coming in last place in the 100-meter/ down-syndrome heat at the Special Olympics.

That's about all I have to say about Mr. Glitter, as I have my travel agent on the line. I am seeing what the air-fare looks like for a little trip to Cambodia for Spring Break.
