Gary Glitter Covers "Better Off Dead" In Real Life
Accused of paying a 12-year-old 150,000 dong ($8) for sex, Gary Glitter has been arrested in Viet Nam, after attempting to flee to Bangkok with, as the article puts it, "a 14-year-old girl who described him as her husband." Ok, that last part is only alleged by local media, but I feel like there's probably a special line at customs for people fleeing with child brides. Penalties in Viet Nam are usually capped at 12 years in prison for statutory rape, but when the victim is as young as 12, the maximum is death by firing squad.
You have to be a pretty determined pedophile to prove that being banned from Cambodia for giving it a bad name is not, in fact, hitting bottom.

I read that he was living in Vietnam as well, probably for the high volume of kiddie ass at his disposal. That and I have to listen to his retarded song every time I go to a basketball game. Die fucker.

...wondering if Of Montreal meant that the van looked like a child molester's van, or if it was just really shitty.

Gary, make sure you get a friend to fix your hard drive next time.
...actually don't. Your music is rubbish and you deserve to be in jail, even if you didn't do it.

If you go to a little place called Kingston, Ontario and spend enough time hauling your ass to and from the train station which, because its canada (the home of pointless distances) is barely even in the city you can eventually get yourself a can being driven by Gary Glitter's cousin, who will tell all about his cousin and the 'difficulties' he's having in the far east. As far as i remember he didn't mention paying the price of sandwich to roger some vietnamese pre-teen... i guess i didn't tip well enough.

By the way, I've refrained from any piling on re: Jim but this is really a subpar post, the kind of thing I don't come to Stereogum for. I.e., a link to a wire story that 95 percent of people reading this blog probably already saw elsewhere.

"a link to a wire story that 95 percent of people reading this blog probably already saw elsewhere."
surely you overestimate the % of indignant college kids who pay attention to wire clippings.

Is it Viet Nam or Vietnam? I thought it was one word. Either way, the perv is screwed.

I saw a Gary Glitter van speeding down the interstate with a weird mirror on the back of it. Since that name is taken, we dubbed it the Gacy. Yeah, really unfunny. But it's hard to name a van after a convicted child molester and laugh about it. Suspected child molesters is a less touchy subject, so we renamed it Kowalski after my old Chemistry teacher.

A mistake often sen on the Maury Povich show: Did you mean "indigent" as opposed to "indignant?" Dictionary.com is a useful tool.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful I get lots of great morsels here at Stereogum that I don't have the effing time to look up, RSS's or not.
