I've got one of those, @1: 1975 VW Riviera camper to be precise - but, I'm not a Youth Pastor, so I don't count.

And seriously, at the rate these guys are going into the clink, I estimate that by about 2011, approximately 70% of the U.S. prison population will consist exclusively of YP's convicted of sexual misconduct, and that there will be such a shortage of them that churches across the country will be forced to outsource these positions to India and Latvia.

Can we keep the posts text-only? This ruined my lunch.

Except for the occasional hottie, most of these guys are fugly, which drives home the dubious nature of consent coming from anyone under the age of 16 at least. Few girls or boys just a few years older than the victim in this case would consent to sleep with that guy. Ugh.
