Reubens did nothing wrong inside that theatre.
Reubens also definitely did not possess dozens of photos of child sexual abuse, for which he was arrested in 2002
Edit: The photos were classified by authorities as ｢child pornography｣, ｢obscene material improperly depicting a child under the age of 18 in sexual conduct｣, and most specifically as ｢people underage engaged in masturbation or oral copulation｣. Reubens denied all of these classifications of the photos, saying that the photos were just art and 100% not sexual. I wrote this comment under the assumption that Reubens was BS'ing, because I feel like the justice system would have no reason nor ability to arrest him and intentionally or accidentally describe his photo collection as worse than it actually was, and would on the contrary have every reason to let him off easy by accepting his plea bargain.
But I guess from the response to this comment that he was actually being truthful and I misunderstood/misrepresented the situation. As tends to happen when your only knowledge of a situation comes from Wikipedia. Sorry!
Weren't they more just weird kitschy naked gnomes and cherubs?
Huh did he or didn't I get the joke?
Man this one hits hard. This guy was such a big part of my early childhood
Yep, that show kicked off Saturday morning for me every week.
Same. I still remember clearly the day they pulled him off air. I was so upset.
:fist bump:
plus, you're rocking a sifl and olly username, so we vibe. guess it makes sense after those Saturday mornings. 🤣
So long Pee-wee. I hope you find your bike in the afterlife.
RIP. He was a great comedian, and a valuable lesson to us who grew up watching. I hope wherever his spirit ends up, he can be at peace.
What the hell? 70 is very young to die with current medical sciences. How sad.
Cancer doesn't really care how old you are, unfortunately.
Drugs can do that to a person.
So can cancer, like in this case.
The average life expectancy for men in the USA is about 77. Since it's the average, some men aren't going to be that lucky.
I'm extremely saddened to hear this. Terrible news
Loved Paul Reubens. Funny guy and the last thing I saw him in was Pushing Daisies, another great show that was cancelled.
ha HA....hee hee hee. Great laugh on Pee Wee too
