Using computers is hard guys.

But I also suspect that the reason this is getting so much media attention is due to some kind of internet superstardom. Maybe his photos were the content that kept pedophile newsgroups and web sites alive. Maybe he was a household name among pedophiles, as it were.

Excuse me for being a novice,but if all he did was swirl the pixels,why is it presented as an Olympic Effort to unswirl them?

I think a lot of people are asking that, especially considering all they used was Photoshop.

Seems like the wide coverage is due to the technology that un-swirled his face.

I am sorry to be the one to bring this up but I don’t see how this should have international coverage.

There are freaks, weirdos, psychos, and sickos all round the crazy world of ours - sadly this guy is just a drop in the bucket. I feel that the only reason he is getting the coverage is that he is a complete dumbass for posting the pics on the net.

The ones who do not do dumb things and continue unchecked in their sick ways are far more sinister and dangerous to society at large. However, I guess those ones are too difficult to catch and don’t offer the feel good story of taking a (sick) dumbass into custody.

I hope he gets what is comning to him but this situation certainly does not deserve the coverage it is getting.

I’m glad the guy was caught, and if proven guilty after a fair trial, I hope he gets put away. My twist on it is that I would like to execute the dumbass reporter as well.

Imagine the press if this guy had been an American English teacher in Korea….. I suspect the press coverage would have been different. As it is, only ONE paper English-language paper this morning is covering the news that he has been caught…

Speaking of sincere apologies, isn’t it about time we invent some sort of metric to ascertain JUST how sincere an apology really is? I dunno, mega-culpas or something. With a tool like that we could have sorted out the tank incident of 2002 with a lot less ill-will an drama.

So off topic.. again.

Thank God that paedophile was caught.

BTW- Sincere apologies are a great way forward. Ask the Australian Aborigines, Native Americans, Koreans, etc. If only they did recieved *sincere* apologies…
