Christmas Greetings from Roman Polanski

Posted by on Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 11:02 AM

What a swell guy that Roman Polanski is. He sent a letter to the Huffington Post for all his fans:

My dear Bernard-Henri Lévy, what you have said in the Swiss press is true — I have been overwhelmed by the number of messages of support and sympathy I have received in Winterthur prison, and that I continue to receive here, in my chalet in Gstaad, where I am spending the holidays with my wife and my children.
...
Happy holidays to you and yours — and, through you, to all of these unknown friends whom I am discovering day after day, and who have helped me so much.

A child rapist sending holiday greetings to all his fans from his chalet. Kind of warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it?

Thank you, Paul, for Monday's Moment of Moral Clarity. And no, I'm not being ironic or a smart-ass. Thank you.

He's greatful for all the support he's received since being "imprisoned". Yeah, because he's living in a tiny cell with no central heating, running water, or anything.

Fuck this guy.

You can keep calling him a child rapist all you want but it doesn't make it so.

@ 5, no, the undisputed fact that he raped a child is what makes him a child rapist.

Just don't let him play Father Christmas for the kiddies.

He's the type of 'man' hollywood and all like minded cities on both coasts and their pseudo-intellectual elites love to lookup to. So he's just being courteous to those who undoubtedly help freed him (house 'arrest' in a mansion), thanks to them he will never be extradited and soon will be getting some trophy in Cannes.

According to my co-worker it is okay that he raped a child because his wife was killed by Charles Manson. Having your wife killed by Charles Manson gives you an automatic pass, dontcha know. Happy Holidays, indeed.

Sonja: He kissed me.
Boris: Any place I should know about?
Sonja: He warmed the cockles of my heart.
Boris: That's just great. Nothing like hot cockles.

Care to back that statement up LovesChildPorn? He's Polish (not in Hollywood), lived in France (not Hollywood) for the last few decades and was convicted of child-rape in Hollywood. When were you last here in Southern California?

You can shut your bitch mouth now.

"He's Polish (not in Hollywood)"

Did I imply he was not Polish? Did I mention nationality at all? No.

He lived, 'worked' and committed a grave crime in Hollywood tho.

"lived in France for the last few decades" (not Hollywood)"

Now why was that? Why did he left Hollywood again?

"and was convicted of child-rape in Hollywood."

^ O yeah, that's why.

FYI (none of your business tho) I was in Southern California about two years ago, not interested in visiting Hollywood nor anything resembling it tho, so you can enjoy the narcissist empty utopia all you want. So long as your ideology remains contained i've got no beef with you.
