Cosby going to prison......so surreal......still hasn't set in yet.
We grew up with him in our house starting in the 60's. My Dad bought all his records and we'd play them on the Capehart in our living room.
I mean this is when we had black and white TV with only 3 channels.
Those old Cosby Show reruns are still on - I have them on right now.
Indeed, he did some very despicable things.
Hard to reconcile stuff like this sometimes....

I think it goes to show how the viewer forgets that these people we see on tv shows and movies are "acting" and many times are playing a character that isn't anything like them. Though they do a great job at playing the role, it's not who they really are themselves. Yet we project the characteristics of the person they are playing on tv onto them as individuals, only to be disappointed as we find out who they really are through stuff like this. I agree, very hard to reconcile.
What's worse is when one of your childhood "heros" (i.e. pro athlete) that you idolize from your tv screen turns out to be a dbag when you meet them in person. My favorite baseball player as a child was Will Clark of the SF Giants. Collected all of his baseball cards, had posters, tshirts etc. Only to meet him in person at the age of 13 and find out he was a complete dbag. As a kid it's a sad reality.

I truly hope you aren't so dumb and ignorant to believe that this is just a conservative/GOP problem. Please show a little more education than this...….
Well, when he went pro he wanted to be known as “Will the Thrill”. From what I heard, his fellow pros were not “thrilled”. His arrogance was reported (anecdotally) while he was at MSU.

That being said, if this is found to be true, he deserves what he gets.
Can you imagine: 2020, a porn industry lawyer vs. Trump. For the POTUS. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
On the thread topic - Trump basically set all of this up with his comment years ago, stating what rich men could do to women.
Not that this wasn’t the norm for many rich men before that comment became public - it actually was. It just didn’t get the press, or the pushback from the female “victims”.
It was said almost 150 years ago, and it’s still true: power (in our world, money) corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
