Famous Singer Blacklisted


A South Florida community watchdog group that monitors sex offenders, 'Protect Our Children', is sending postcards to 1,500 homes to warn parents that former sex offender Pete Townshend is coming to the area to perform at the Super Bowl. He was arrested in 2003 for cruising online sites for photos of child sex. Townshend said he was doing research for a book. He was placed on England's list of sexual offenders for five years.

Protect Our Children’s Kevin Gillick says, “As far as we’re concerned, Pete Townshend could be dangerous for the community. No one who isn’t interested in child sex visits porn sites. And he was on his country’s sex offenders list. Why is he in what amounts to a family event?”

The NFL rejected 'Protect Our Children's' plea to cancel The Who's Super Bowl halftime performance.

I don't watch the Super Bowl... but this time I am pro-actively boycotting it. Good ol' Pete needs to learn that his celebrity-ism is not going to float him through his sick sexual addictions.

Good work! I had no plans to watch the Superbowl, either (lost interest after the "wardrobe malfunction" deemed it no longer family-friendly), but I'll definitely help spread the word!
