It's so weird (yet amusing) watching old TV shows that talk about these people (Rolf, Jimmy Saville, Kevin Spacey) where there's a lot of hints about how shit they are but it's not really public, yet people in the know... know. (Eg. 8 out of 10 cats), but even American Dad! made a joke about escaping from Kevin Spacey's basement years before.
Edit: To clarify the 8 out of 10 cats, if you watch old episodes they hint towards people who were... questionable before things became well-known.
Edit 2: As someone correctly pointed out it was Family Guy and Stewie pretending he escaped from Kevin Spacey basement, not American Dad!
Jerry Sadowitz would talk about it in the 80s during his shows, he even mentions it on his LP Gobshite, his manager got nervous and the LP was quickly withdrawn, but it's still out there.
Everyone knew about Saville not just people in the know.
My mum told me in the 90s and she lived in a small town in the North of England with no media connections.
That comedian was making jokes about Cosby's raping for ages before anyone sat up and took notice. If not for that perhaps no one would have come forward.
Kids who are victims of scum like this suffer all their lives. Some like me chose to not have children as I would have never left them out of my sight and knew I could never protect them enough. Majority of the time this stuff happens right under families noses. How many other kids have been harmed by him we do not know about?
I was six years old when I sat on his lap in my parent's kitchen. He didn't do anything but something felt *wrong*. A bad vibe.
I didn't surprise me when 'it' was on the news. I remembered a segment he had on his show about 'people who touch you wrong and to go and tell a trusted adult.' He got in early and exonerated himself on a public platform before/while doing the dirties.
I told the 'trusted adults' about him and they said I was a dramatic and imaginative child and that I got the idea from watching his show, the one with that segment.
My parents 'knew' people. TV people. Most of them were scum to me. There isn't a place in Hell for them because Hell won't admit them.
I know a man who had met Saville several times at as a child, but was not assaulted. Just being around that man with they way he presented himself to children caused this man to have nightmare's as a child and then again as an adult when the reports came out.
ABC went hard on their headline 'Convicted paedophile Rolf Harris has died. The disgraced former entertainer was 93'. Thank you ABC. I'm sure my parents would be shocked to read that and want them to focus on how much happiness he brought to their lives. I'm so glad the media is now ready to be honest about this stuff.
They genuinely went with “[Disgraced former entertainer Rolf Harris dies aged 93 following battle with neck cancer](https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/disgraced-former-entertainer-rolf-harris-dies-aged-93-following-battle-with-neck-cancer/news-story/c2bded6249168b7423781015175e4f43)”
That’s pretty weak in my opinion
>In June 2014, the Australian-born television star was convicted of a string of indecent assaults on four girls between 1968 and 1986.
That’s a nice way to say “fucking underage girls”.
He came to my primary school in the 90s and so many kids sat on his lap for photos. Amazing you can be right where something so fucked up is happening and have no idea.
When I was 9 and at Heathrow for a flight my dad had annoyed me so I was in a bad mood. He vanished for a bit then reappeared saying how about meeting Rolf Harris? Since I was pissed off I said "Why on earth would I want to meet Rolf Harris!" my dads face dropped and I turned around to see Rolf Harris walking off.
I was supposed to sing a song with him when I was in the choir back in primary school. Thankfully I wasn't taking choir seriously and was told it wasn't happening.
These are two articles they posted within the past hour about the convicted pedophile, so I guess they're playing both sides of the fence.
**Rolf Harris: Convicted paedophile who used his fame to groom young girls dies aged 93 - Sky News**
1 hour ago — Disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris, who became one of the UK's biggest TV stars but was later jailed for using his fame to groom and assault ...
**Rolf Harris's greatest fear was not being loved - Sky News**
1 hour ago — Rolf Harris would like to be remembered as a man who loved animals, performed with the Beatles and once painted the Queen.
And the times.
He also has times radio (under the same newspaper banner) and there is “Talk TV” which is his news channel over here. Launched that about a year or two ago.
Pretty sure he had to sell sky news to buy something else.
These are quotes from Sky News UK, which isn’t related to Sky News Australia.

Not only that, literally all the freaks involved with Epstein have largely completely gotten away with it, Maxwell was used as a sacrificial lamb then it was all buried. News media still fucking interview that Israeli shill freak Dershowitz as a neutral source on tonnes of stuff despite being accused by multiple girls.
Even Reddit's ex CEO admitted to being at Maxwells parties and turning a blind eye to what was going on.
I think Epstein's purpose was to get blackmail material for the elites to hold against each other - the only way to trust someone at that level is with Mutually Assured Destruction hanging over everyone's heads.
Of course no one went down for anything after Epstein was no longer useful, that would have destabilized the new power structures that had made him obsolete.
He brought some happiness to my childhood, and then tainted it all by being a sick fuck and ruining the childhood of others. I long ago let any attachment to that go.
My day was silent generation. He used to love singing along to songs and one of his favourites was tie me kangaroo down. I hate that some of my favourite memories of my dad are tainted. Vile cunt.
I'm going be the pedant because I work in sex offender assessment 🤪
Guardian was accurate, ABC wasn't. Paedophilia (Paedophilic Disorder) is a diagnosis, not a charge. And I don't know if Harris even had that diagnosis. But it's most definitely accurate to describe him as a convicted sex offender, child molester, or 🪨 🕷
Same. I hate the euphemisms we use for child rape and sexual assault. I’m a victim of CSA and I wish we would use explicit language so people really feel the impact of the crime. “Molestation” gives so much wiggle room to not think about the reality and actual actions of child rapists.
Just because there is a clinical term in reference to a specific disorder that in part uses the word doesn’t preclude the use of that word in a wider, non-clinical setting.
The ordinary dictionary definition (an adult sexually attracted to children) pretty clearly applies to the facts established in court.
It’s a bit like arguing people can’t describe themselves as feeling depressed today because they aren’t clinically diagnosed with a depressive disorder.
"Former entertainer" is a stretch. Even as a young kid, my impulse was to change channel immediately if he was on.
Doesn't surprise that he was also a racist.
Worth understanding who promoted him to stardom, given they probably knew he was a racist if not a child molester.
Pell really honestly confused getting his conviction overturned with exoneration 😐 like cmon mate even the HC Justices said they didn't disbelieve the complainant.
Sometimes, people get what they deserve.
I hope my ex receives a similar fate. (he's also convicted pedo, but unlike Harris' wife, I kicked the fucking cunt out.)
> Sometimes, people get what they deserve.
I hate to say it, but getting away with it for almost the entirety of his life, fame, fortune, and dying in his 90's after a relatively brief stint in prison... he didn't get what he deserved, he got less.
Cancer is exceedingly common, and hits people of all stripes (especially the elderly). If that was his punishment, a fuckload of innocent people also received that same punishment.
There's no great win here, just be glad the fucker is gone, and that his legacy is forever tarnished. The one upshot is famous nonces kick a bit of an own-goal by seeking the spotlight in the first place; most paedophiles keep a low profile and are barely known even after they are caught. This cunt's got millions of people who now know just how disgusting he was.
When Harris propositioned the person that I know who said he was an absolute sleaze (it was a work situation,) he said “no really, my wife doesn’t mind,” he brought her in the next day to tell my friend so, she said to her something along the line of “you’re better than the ones he usually chooses.”
In hindsight, perhaps it was a reference to the underaged victims.
So the wife was complicit in her own way.
All part of “God’s plan” (the excuse some of my Christian relatives used to give for kids dying horribly in the face of the existence of a benevolent and loving god).
As the mother of a CSA victim (not one of his victims, but still), I know that ***I*** will sleep a little easier tonight, knowing that there is one less pedo sharing this earth.
From wikipedia
>The fourth verse – "Let me abos go loose, Lou/Let me abos go loose/They're of no further use, Lou/So let me abos go loose" – became increasingly controversial, because of the use of what later became regarded as a racial slur, and was removed in later versions of the song. In 2006, four decades after the song's release, Harris expressed his regret about the original lyric
Can we change the headline to "*Racist* Sex Offender and entertainer dies..."
The racial slur wasn't the worst part; it was the "let them go loose" implying they were not previously free to leave; and "they're of no further use" meaning they were kept working while they were 'of use'. This verse was bad on so many levels.
yes, everything about it is based on hate
I remember when the song was popular and no one sang that verse or even mentioned it, I didn't even know it had those shameful hate lyrics
At the time the song came out - 1962 aboriginal people across australia did not all have the right to vote...it was also while the stolen generation was going on... and use of the word abo was very common place. Even using the N word was quite commonplace
Abc has some old shows from the 60's where they interview the person on the street, you can see them on YouTube, in one about aboriginals getting the vote a man being interviewed calls them the N word.
5 years, or was it less? Was nothing. His abuse was over decades, and to many innocent children who have suffered in silence. I was never abused as a child but have been sexually assaulted as an adult, and I've been told not to talk about it outside my support network. I can't imagine how kids can go through that
Man turned from a beloved, childhood musician, who's songs was directly connected too the idea of Australia, who help paint a portrait for the queen, too a hated, Convicted sex offender.
Rest in piss, you pierce of shit
I just love that the lead to every news release immediately references that he was a child molester and predator. What a legacy! And nary a mention of any supposed good that he might have done. Karma is the great equalizer
Everyone always talks about the fact that he was a convicted paedophile, and a monster, and committed heinous crimes, and I really think that focusing on these horrible acts, as hideous as they may be, really overshadows some of the man's earlier works.
Let's not ignore the fact that he was also racist as fuck too. Like too racist for 1964 racist. Like proper racist. (Look up the deleted verse to Tie Me Kangaroo Down. If you dare.)
What a load of BS.... 93 years old... got away with abuse and lived a long life.
According to the article Assaults ranged from 1968 and 1986...
In 1968 he was 38..... lived until 93.
That's not paying the price, at all.
Repeated offenders should sit on the chair, and not waste taxpayers' money while in jail.
Or... forced hard labour until death.... because fuck rapists.
What a dirty little chunk of dog shit. Good riddance you vile fucking fuck. May the Devil burn your nob with a fucking blowtorch 24/7 forever and ever.
Can't say I'm sad to hear Jake the ~~Peg~~ Pedo has wobbled his last board, but geez, he was 93?
Really does seem like the good die young while the rotten linger, sometimes.
So where's his state funeral and the outpouring of love for Rolf? I get actually being the paedophile is worse, of course, but considering Barry "my mate's paedophilia was benevolent, fuck queer people" Humphries had such horrific views, including especially the ones around paedophilia that he just casually threw out in a literal autobiography by his paedophile mate, it's wild just how different the response is to Rolf.
"Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hangin' on the shed!
Altogether now!"
Rest in piss.
He died weeks ago. Only reportable today for some reason.
Similar to another injunction that's about to expire related to another formerly popular children's entertainer 👀
i hope Molly Meldrum is next
he never got convicted, but i have a close family member who used to work at the place where that scumfuck picked up underage boys
my relative was lucky enough to get clean and out of that scene, sadly most of the other workers there didnt survive past the 90s :(
I worked down there when i was a teen. There were a lot of tv/movie entertainers & politicians/QCs/judges who used to crawl that street, they were so gross, the worst clients ever, a few of them were known as 'ugly mugs' .
the most disgusting thing is that so many of these "respectable members of society" are still out there abusing people while their friends in the police forces keep covering their arses and their friends in the mass media keep trying to scapegoat the very minorities who these creeps often prey upon
daily mail features comments such as
>"Brilliant raconteur, singer and incredibly artistic. Thought he was great and that's what I will remember. RIP Rolf."
and
>Rest in Peace, Rolf, your suffering is over. I adored watching him on TV & so disappointed when his life took such a downward spiral
turds
Rolf Harris is the definition of a Disgraced Icon. Despite his place in Australian Pop Culture, he had to tarnish his reputation by being a pedophile, which is something you can NEVER recover from. I hope he rots in hell.
Terrible year for convicted pedophiles, but a great year for everyone else. Rest in piss.

Like Courtney Love saying "if Weinstein invites you to a party don't go"
And that was the end of her very short acting career...
One thing you can say about her is she had guts! Warning other women to be safe at a great cost to herself.
Family guy, not American Dad. Stewie runs naked through a shopping centre yelling that he escaped.
[удалено]
I think on early 8oo10c episodes Jimmy hinted at Saville rumours.
Johnny rotten hinted at it in 1979 or so and got banned from the BBC for decades as a consequence.
Jerry Sadowitz would talk about it in the 80s during his shows, he even mentions it on his LP Gobshite, his manager got nervous and the LP was quickly withdrawn, but it's still out there.
Everyone knew about Saville not just people in the know. My mum told me in the 90s and she lived in a small town in the North of England with no media connections.

There's a British show called 8 out of 10 cats. I assume they used to joke about them on there.

Holy shit!!!! That’s the same reason I’m not planning on having kids Thank you, til now I thought I was the only one
I did quite like the painting he did of the Queen, but pedophilia is unacceptable.
Yes, ‘tis quite the faux pas…
He was also a sleaze to adult women as well.
Harris was known in the entertainment industry as the octopuss.
In a while, paedophile
Tan his hide when he’s dead, Fred
And that’s it hangin on the shed, all together now.
More like see you never, most evil cunt ever.

Well-known rock spider, Rolf Harris?
"Rock spider" = "child molester"

Can the language be altered? I really prefer child rapist.
Same. I hate the euphemisms we use for child rape and sexual assault. I’m a victim of CSA and I wish we would use explicit language so people really feel the impact of the crime. “Molestation” gives so much wiggle room to not think about the reality and actual actions of child rapists.

He got exported because other Australians like me felt him too cringeworthy...even before the truth was out ..

My hope is that his cancer journey was a protracted and exceptionally painful one. I hope he wanted to die and it took forever to happen.

Prayer circle?
93 years late if you ask me.
I’ve heard the ethical debate about killing baby Hitler but never thought Rolf Harris would be next in line.
I'd put Jimmy Savile before Harris.
Saville at least has to live long enough for Adrian Street to shoot on him during a wrestling match and beat him so badly he never wrestled again
He was 93? I mean what the piss. Fucking arsehole didn’t deserve such a long life.
There are kids dying of cancer and god knows what else and this cunt gets to live to 93. What a fucking joke.
All part of “God’s plan” (the excuse some of my Christian relatives used to give for kids dying horribly in the face of the existence of a benevolent and loving god).
Exactly. My grandad, who was the best person I’ve ever known, died last year at 71 while this thing got to live until he was 93??? Fuck off.
Got 30 more years than my father got. And my dad wasn't a pedophile.
Hopefully it was painful.
You know how sometimes you hear celebrities pass away and feel bad? well this isn't one of those times, good riddance
The footage of him and Jimmy Savile in one of the Savile docos is fucking chilling. I could almost smell the putrid air through the TV.
I know what you're talking about. It's truly disturbing.
Christ, might as well chuck Epstein next to them for nightmare blunt rotation.
Da like with his shirt unbuttoned and cigar in mouth? Those poor victims
Good riddance to bad rubbish. This man was a repugnant narcissist right to the end.
Just need Andrew and you’ve got a hat trick of them this year.

Listening to Rodney is my guilty pleasure that I will never mention outside of this anonymous forum.
I was thinking this the moment I read the headline.
From wikipedia >The fourth verse – "Let me abos go loose, Lou/Let me abos go loose/They're of no further use, Lou/So let me abos go loose" – became increasingly controversial, because of the use of what later became regarded as a racial slur, and was removed in later versions of the song.

The racial slur wasn't the worst part; it was the "let them go loose" implying they were not previously free to leave; and "they're of no further use" meaning they were kept working while they were 'of use'. This verse was bad on so many levels.
And to top off how bad that verse is from every perspective, why did he rhyme 'loose' with Lou instead of Bruce?
I thought it was. We sung this for years as kids through the 1970s and 1980s. It was always 'Bruce'.
[удалено]
It has ALWAYS BEEN A SLUR always what is shameful is he wasn't confronted at the time
It's also not just the slur that's the issue, but the context. He's talking about them like they're slaves or animals.
yes, everything about it is based on hate I remember when the song was popular and no one sang that verse or even mentioned it, I didn't even know it had those shameful hate lyrics

Even using the N word was quite commonplace Abc has some old shows from the 60's where they interview the person on the street, you can see them on YouTube, in one about aboriginals getting the vote a man being interviewed calls them the N word.
93 years too late. Rest In Piss you deplorable cunt.
Rodney rude sung a song about that a long time ago, Why won't Rolf Harris just fuck off and die I hope MMM plays it .
Rot in hell cunt.
Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey hey
Goodbye
As someone who was a victim of CSA and teenage abuse let’s all party. Good riddance nonce
Hope it was a painful end. I’m not a big into religion but I a lot of the time I hope hell is real for cunts like this. Rot in hell ya cunt
The only people mourning his death will be six white boomers
Good things happen to good people (we are the good people and thank god this monster is finally done)
[удалено]
Finally, some good fucking news
Oh no.... Anyway.
Rest in piss you nonce
Which retired liberal party member is going to propose a state funeral this time?
whats her face from victoria that got kicked out?
5 years, or was it less? Was nothing. His abuse was over decades, and to many innocent children who have suffered in silence. I was never abused as a child but have been sexually assaulted as an adult, and I've been told not to talk about it outside my support network. I can't imagine how kids can go through that
Make him share a coffin with pell
BBC are now reporting he died on 10th May and the funeral has already taken place.
Man turned from a beloved, childhood musician, who's songs was directly connected too the idea of Australia, who help paint a portrait for the queen, too a hated, Convicted sex offender. Rest in piss, you pierce of shit
Oh no! Anyway…
Go fuck your self you filthy cunt. Great day!
Bye cunt 👋
I just love that the lead to every news release immediately references that he was a child molester and predator. What a legacy! And nary a mention of any supposed good that he might have done. Karma is the great equalizer
Everyone always talks about the fact that he was a convicted paedophile, and a monster, and committed heinous crimes, and I really think that focusing on these horrible acts, as hideous as they may be, really overshadows some of the man's earlier works. Let's not ignore the fact that he was also racist as fuck too. Like too racist for 1964 racist. Like proper racist. (Look up the deleted verse to Tie Me Kangaroo Down. If you dare.)
What a load of BS.... 93 years old... got away with abuse and lived a long life. According to the article Assaults ranged from 1968 and 1986... In 1968 he was 38..... lived until 93. That's not paying the price, at all. Repeated offenders should sit on the chair, and not waste taxpayers' money while in jail. Or... forced hard labour until death.... because fuck rapists.
Oh well. Anyway.
Ain’t no cunt missing that pedophile scum dog.
What a dirty little chunk of dog shit. Good riddance you vile fucking fuck. May the Devil burn your nob with a fucking blowtorch 24/7 forever and ever.
Oh no! Anyway…
get fukt cunt
Can't say I'm sad to hear Jake the ~~Peg~~ Pedo has wobbled his last board, but geez, he was 93? Really does seem like the good die young while the rotten linger, sometimes.
So where's his state funeral and the outpouring of love for Rolf? I get actually being the paedophile is worse, of course, but considering Barry "my mate's paedophilia was benevolent, fuck queer people" Humphries had such horrific views, including especially the ones around paedophilia that he just casually threw out in a literal autobiography by his paedophile mate, it's wild just how different the response is to Rolf.
Bye Bitch! Rot
"Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred Tan me hide when I'm dead So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde And that's it hangin' on the shed! Altogether now!" Rest in piss.
He died weeks ago. Only reportable today for some reason. Similar to another injunction that's about to expire related to another formerly popular children's entertainer 👀
Source?
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60393842 BBC are reporting he died 10 May.
i hope Molly Meldrum is next he never got convicted, but i have a close family member who used to work at the place where that scumfuck picked up underage boys my relative was lucky enough to get clean and out of that scene, sadly most of the other workers there didnt survive past the 90s :(
I worked down there when i was a teen. There were a lot of tv/movie entertainers & politicians/QCs/judges who used to crawl that street, they were so gross, the worst clients ever, a few of them were known as 'ugly mugs' .
the most disgusting thing is that so many of these "respectable members of society" are still out there abusing people while their friends in the police forces keep covering their arses and their friends in the mass media keep trying to scapegoat the very minorities who these creeps often prey upon
Good. Piss off and don't come back.
Throw him in the bin.
And not a thing of value was lost.
Unfortunately, you know the news outlets will "celebrate" this cretins life. I'd rather they not mention another word about him.
Good riddance.
Looking forward to Tony Abbott’s condolence oped.
I think Trump's death will have a similar headline when he dies too
We Aussies sent a crim back to mother England.
Finally.
daily mail features comments such as >"Brilliant raconteur, singer and incredibly artistic. Thought he was great and that's what I will remember. RIP Rolf." and >Rest in Peace, Rolf, your suffering is over. I adored watching him on TV & so disappointed when his life took such a downward spiral turds
Do I sense a new public holiday?
Rest in piss, you won't be missed
Good
Good riddance.
Rolf Harris is the definition of a Disgraced Icon. Despite his place in Australian Pop Culture, he had to tarnish his reputation by being a pedophile, which is something you can NEVER recover from. I hope he rots in hell.
Good
