It's a load of crap.

My classmates watched it religiously and we were Masters candidates at a well-known university.

Yeah, I found that in another story right after I posted the topic.. Anyone seen what kind? I'd guess something like lung or prostate seeing as he lived with it for 6 years. Colon is a possibility.

Not that it REALLY matters. He wanted to keep it private, but.. Once a DC is issued, I'm sure TMZ will have it.

And a certain segment of the population are drawn to, and manipulated by the physical image alone; anyone who's seen Todd Browning's film Freaks (1932) should know what I'm talking about.

Mr. Rubebns' Pee Wee Herman was essentially non-ideological and harmless --- but that's not always the case.
No amount of eyerolling will suffice.

I was in my late teens when Pee Wee was in his hay days. I didn't like him, he reminded me of what a molester freak was. I grew up in San Fransicko so I could spot them a mile away.

I'm truly sorry to hear that. Both that you're sad and that you grew up watching him.

All he did was molest himself at a theater. Then became a meme of the time for all kinds of peewee perv jokes. But man, he didn't hurt anyone. What do they think happens in those places anyway!

RIP Paul, after the smoke cleared from his incident I was so happy and blown away to see his performance in Blow. He will always be remembered as Pee Wee but Blow was a defining role for him and showed he had the chops to act.
