I mean, shit, why not the green Jabba's slavegirl chick from "Jedi"? Why not the triple-breasted whore from "Total Recall"? Bad Dragon and Hankey's Toys are making some truly novel phalluses. Why are the sex dolls so boring?

"If a pedophile falls in the woods and no one's there to hear it, does he make a sound?"
Cleaning house, so my mind is just kind of turned off and wandering and starts rolling this one around. It could get its own thread, but since the subject is kind of fucked up, I decided to put it here.
We all know the "If a tree falls in the woods..." discussion. As implied, this is kind of similar, but taken a step further.
So let's say someone gets turned on by...junior high school lacrosse. They don't do anything about it or cause anything to happen towards anyone--or even tell anyone, but a couple times a week, in the privacy of their room, with no one around, they fire up YouTube and jerk off to videos of junior high school lacrosse games. It's still certainly pedophilia, but is it really harming anyone?
Take it a step further: Say our hypothetical pedo decides to contribute to a fundraiser so his local school can get new uniforms or go to the state tournament or something. He's still not doing anything to actually harm the girls. In fact it's pretty easy to argue he's *helping* them. So, from a certain perspective, in certain, extremely specific cases, one could logically argue that pedophilia is actually *beneficial.*
Having said that, I'll go back to the tree conundrum. While I've heard very convincing arguments that our hypothetical tree does *not* make a sound--something about by definition for a sound to happen, there needs to be something that the vibrations have acted on--an ear or a recording device or whatever. But personally I feel that the falling tree makes a sound--even though I can't prove this point. Kind of the same with our hypothetical benevolent pedophile--reasoning it through, there's nothing wrong with him; he might even be considered *good*, but still, it feels like it is probably wrong.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotten curious about if YouTube actually has junior high school lacrosse videos on it. :/
