I wasn't super thrilled about Jezza saying this at the time, but in the grand scheme of things he could punch a baby and I'd still want him as PM.

@Frederick:

I guess that pastor got what HE deserved!

Really though.. a sentence of 35 years seems excessive.  Jared Fogle got 16 years for far worse crimes, and that was the most severe sentence that was available for him. 
It sort of reminds me of the episode of Star Trek in which their punishment for ANY crime, no matter how minor, is death.  They were going to execute Wesley Crusher for stepping on the grass.  Unfortunately on Star Trek, Wesley was saved and went on to be the worst character in Star Trek TNG.  (Even the actor Wil Wheaton hated Wesley).

There's definitely some disproportionate sentencing. I think the best approach to prisons is rehabilitative (as it has a lower recidivism rate) but some people shouldn't be allowed back on the streets.

@magentas:

I never understood that fetish. To me, feet and ears are the two ugliest parts of any body.

See I kinda understand gross fetishes, because it provokes a strong emotional response which I guess could become arousing to some people (e.g. scat which makes me gag thinking about it - but it's a strong reaction). But feet seem just like neutral.

@dzirlo:

omg that's terrible! anyone got the videos?

Hahaha that was literally my first thought
