Well isn't that wonderful

So for about five months now, we've had this video up on YouTube of Lili saying she wants ice cream. I ask her why she wants it, and she says, "Because I love you." It's so freakin' cute, sugar begins to encrust on the outside of your monitor when you watch it. Until a couple days ago, it only had about 40-50 views.

Fast forward to yesterday. I mirror another YouTube video called "Pissed Catholic Mother" on my own account because I wanted to be able to embed it, and the original video gets deleted. As a result, my version has gone completely viral with over 100,000 views in 24 hours. (That whole thing is a blog posting of its own.) But as a result, I'm getting tons of hits on my YouTube profile and people are watching my other videos, including the Lili "Because I love you" one.

We look at the video today and see it's been linked from another site. Here's a screenshot.



Those links are from the forum on a site called playtoymagazine.com (don't go there). It's one of several "child modeling" websites on the internet. In this case, "child modeling" is a code word for "pedophile stroke material." The whole purpose of the site is to provide quasi-legal material as a fix for internet pedophiles.

Meredyth registered to the site before she knew what it was, but I've told her not to go there. Hopefully when the FBI finally gets off their asses and does something about internet pedophilia, they won't crash down our door.

Here's an old-ish CBS news article about child modeling websites (With bonus Mark Foley hypocrisy).

Now I feel all icky and ooky and pissed off. I've taken the Lili video down, but YouTube takes forever to update.



Jesus Christ, people. Why do you have to ruin everything?
