Well, when there just isn't enough time in the day to write two whole blog posts (and believe me, I throw my soul into each and every one of these) I am left with no choice but to cover two stories at once. The first is that Interpol reports they have set a new precedent in the way they conduct international hunts for pedophiles. Detectives in many countries were trying to find Christopher Paul Neil after German authorities found photos of him abusing children on the internet. He had concealed his identity by digitally swirling his face in photos, but law enforcement figured out how to unswirl the pics and released his photo worldwide. He was caught, and Interpol voted to use this tactic again. They decided the dangers to children outweighed the fear people would try and seek their own brand of justice on the suspects.
In other news, Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch is in foreclosure. How's this for fuzzy math? Jackson owes $23,212,963 on a $23,000,000 loan. That is not fiscally good. Since Jackson's trial, he hasn't spent much time at the old ranch, opting instead to board in hotel rooms and rented houses. We hear the llamas have been lonely. There's no clear information on whether he has the cash to pay this bill and is chosing not to, or if he's in financial deep doo-doo. So there you have it: two unconnected stories loosely strung together for the sake of convenience. Bad news for pedophiles and Jackson. Ahem.
