Lewd conduct in a porn theatre? Good to see the cops are being put to good use.

Mr. Willard has no Internet connection?

Still, why are the cops even DOING this?

He must have heard that Paul Reubens was making another Pee Wee Herman movie...
(Good news, Fred, you got the job!)

alternate joke...

So PBS has a Morals Clause in its performers' contracts? Then why isn't "The McLaughlin Group" taped with an empty stage?

That was my thought.

Then again, he is 72. As you get older, it's more difficult to adopt new technology.

I guess strolling into a porn theatre is one way of being sure to get your arrest quota up without doing any actual police work ...

There are still porn theaters?

Yeah, where he was arrested in West Hollywood was part of the Pussycat chain.
