Actor Fred Willard was arrested for masturbating in a movie theater. Details here.
I don't dispute that his alleged behavior was gross. However, in a case like this, context is everything and the location matters: he was caught in an adult movie theater, not a regular cinema at the mall. The real scandal is that the cops & courts devote law enforcement re$ources to keeping our porno theaters safe from perverts. The police should be focused on real crime, not inspecting the dirty movies.

what bullshit.
what do they expect to find in an x rated theater?
what are the police doing slumming around in there anyway?
this is almost as bad as the ones that cruise for sex in restrooms, almost.
is this what constrained budgets are being used for?
no wonder cities are going bankrupt.

I think the real crime is that Fred Willard, or anyone, still goes to the theaters to watch porn and masturbate.
Don't they know about all the websites where you can get high quality porn for free? As well as even higher quality porn for pennies a day?

I wouldn't know about that, and it seems that avoiding arrest if you're just there to use the facilities shouldn't be that difficult. If you're wanting to turn this into an argument about political hypocrites then you'll have to do it without me, because that's just not my cup of tea. (See how easy that was to not get entrapped?)

You can make that argument if you'd like, but as long as there's a law against a behavior it seems to me like fair game for the police to enforce it.

My guess is they are responding to a complaint, or multiple complaints. I'm with the why bother crowd, but their job is suppose to be enforcing laws, and they can probably ignore adult theaters until too many complaints pile up then someone has to show up eventually.
I think, they just happened to catch someone well known this time.

I have to agree with this. Same with the strip mall massage parlors that offer happy endings by some [presumed to be smuggled] Asian or Latin gal working to repay their debt for being smuggled into the country in the first place. Neighboring shops complain about all the male traffic and the cops setup a sting and bust 'em, but they pop back up soon afterwards.

I remember when the first XXX rated theatre opened here in
1968. I was 19 and a few of us went and checked it out.
Admission was $5, which was 3 times what a regular movie
cost. The women in the films were really plain and in their
30's, but hey, it was porn, we didn't care.
While we're watching, a middle aged guy came in and when
he passed us in the aisle, he sounded like he was wearing
plastic underwear, it made noise when he walked. He sat
down front and at different times when things were getting
hot on the screen, we could hear the plastic making noise
like crazy. We were laughing so hard when this happened that the
usher said we had to leave if we didn't knock it off. It
was a pretty disgusting place, it stank like you imagined
a place like that would.

You'd be surprised. I live in an urban/rural mix area and there are two within twenty miles of my house, one in each direction. It would actually be three, but the one place got closed as a public nuisance for selling Salvia after it was made illegal in that state.
I suppose the one may or may not count. It has the individual viewing booths as opposed to a theater. I wouldn't go in there, even if I were inclined, which I am not. Each one of them has a camera!!! I know this because the attendant guy has to check it, he says, to make sure nobody is going full nude, or anything. Sick people. I was only in there to purchase something of mutual benefit for my wife and I, and not for any perverted reasons. You can get an object very similar to what I was purchasing at a grocery store, but it's not quite as good as this particular brand...
I bought ten units of the product so I wouldn't have to go back in there for awhile!!!

Quote: WongBohmmm, seems like a bit of a glass house situation...
I try not to be a hypocrite.
If I must be specific, the item in question is self-warming personal lubrication. My wife and I were longtime users of the same product by KY, but then we received this product as a gag gift from family members at Christmas a few yeares ago who did not know (obviously) that we actually utilize such products.
They were astounded when I called asking where they could get that brand. It came from the porn shop. I chose not to ask them what they were otherwise doing at the porn shop.
I do not even view pornography on the Internet. I say that honestly. I really have no interest in nude females unless I am to be potentially procreating with them, since I am married and intend only to procreate with my wife, I thus have no interest in nude females besides my wife. I don't see the point in fantasizing about women with whom I will never copulate, my fantasies involve slot jackpots in six figures, of course, those are not sexual. I'd also like to pull a Royal or Straight Flush in Let It Ride one day, but that table is never open, so, that probably won't happen.

There are multiple psychological problems with sex. Some people can only masturbate in public, as they need the potential to get caught. I mentioned that Fred Willard may have onset dementia which is changing his behavior.
Sir Arthur John Gielgud who would win an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award, a commonwealth Order of the Companions of Honour, and the French Order of Merit, was arrested for seeking homosexual sex in public restrooms.
It's like asking why Hugh Grant would hire a street hooker when he could almost snap his fingers at a party and find some girl to sleep with him.
It is a shame that Fred Willard, has that mark on a brilliant career. I hope he gets over it.

Doing the ol' PeeWee Herman in the movie theater? It wouldn't be TRULY impressive unless he was doing it into the fountain in front of Caesar's Palace. So there are special anti-floggin'it police that roam around in pornographic theaters? On... taxpayers dollars? Why is this? So if anyone takes their kids to the porno theater they won't have to see anyone masturbating? Hmmm... Nope, a little hard to justify it with that reason. Do the antijizz police get any hazardous duty pay in case they... get shot in the eye or anything? Are they issued goggles at least? Seems to me Fred Willard would have a high speed internet connection so I don't quite know why he would (or anyone for that matter) be lurking about some dingy skanky porno theater.
I don't frequent such establishments but if I did picture it like this--- Maybe this is a new thing among Hollywood types, a new fad known as "Doin' the PeeWee Herman"! This could mean that the next time I am sitting at some porno theater someplace with my girlfriend, some popcorn and a large soda, she might become startled, spilling some of her soda and say something like, "Oh my gosh... right over there! Just fours seats down from us! It's Robert Deniro diddling his tallywhacker! OMG... OMG... I am going to go ask for his autograph!!"Hahahahaaa
Oh my gosh is right though... I just got here and don't wish to cross any lines with my lame attempts at humor causing any frowns instead of smiles and laughs. I saw another post from yesterday in which someone got banned for 5 days for complimenting someone else on their penis size if I recall, so I need to mind my P's and Q's and maybe get the feel of the forum before I post crude attempts at humor...
