“Man to man I did it because I’ve never had a girlfriend,” Rolfes told an officer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

so true truesaid..I just don't understand it anymore.

1 minute, we're told, they're just boobs, nothing to see here, then we're told they ARE sex objects.

Topless in NY, no problem, breast feeding in public , no problem, but by golly, if sex is on your mind, no way...sigh........I stay so confused !

“Man to man I did it because I’ve never had a girlfriend,” Rolfes told an officer

And never will.

Keep in mind that when the women at Hooters objectify themselves while parading around 1/2 naked, that is a choice made by them.

When filmed in private, without their consent, that is another story.

However, to think that part of the perps motivation was because he had never had a girlfriend is too funny.

As if perving in this way would ingratiate himself to these women...who would then flock all over him?

Hilarious.

"Keep in mind that when the women at Hooters objectify themselves while parading around 1/2 naked, that is a choice made by them."

Yeah, money talks doesn't it. If the perv woulda only pay up, imagine what he might actually get in return.

Good point. I always crack up when women decry that men sometimes objectify them. We do not objectify women - we objectify beautiful women. Most of the women who do the complaining have no right to do so. We don't objectify them - just the pretty ones!

The police just happened by the hotel ... tits with donuts.

Dumb, that's like saying because a woman likes sex, she shouldn't mind getting raped.

One is consensual and one isn't you door knob.

Seriously truesaid? You think this is about sexism? This is about a right to privacy. Regardless of what they wear, these people, like any Americans, have an expectation of privacy when changing clothes. Please don't make this an issue about what these women wear. Leave it as it stands; This is an issue with a perv taking advantage of other people for personal gratification.

This is the same bull@!$%# attitude that tries to justify rape because of how she was dressed. It's wrong, plain and simple. It's propagated by jealous women and men who will never date attractive women for their own shortcomings.

Get off it! It is like the woman who boosts up her boobs to enhance her cleavage and then complains because you look there. They don't get to tease and then act like a nun!

And what stud of a good looking man would be going so nuts if some woman was taping him getting undressed? Grow up ladies!

What a perv.....he even looks like a perv.........no wonder he never had a girlfriend........

how many cameras do have hidden? bet you dont have a girlfriend.

Does he realize what his "I never had a girlfriend" solution is going to cost him?

Methinks he may end up with a nice helpful boyfriend named Cletus. At least for a few months...

@ScottW714 and Stand and Deliver

You two are idiots for even comparing this to rape. Intrusion of privacy yes, rape? Get real.

I think I can rationalize that. If I had never had a girlfriend, and no probability of ever having one, I might think about settling for a picture of a naked one. Course now, He's liable to wind up in jail becoming "Bubba's girlfriend. That's likely to turn out quite contrary to what He's been thinking.

@Truesaid, you are a moron if you can't see the difference.

when he gets to jail he'll be "gay for stay"

No 'theairdog' I see the difference and I'm no moron, ok.

However, I did make a point and I do so without calling anyone else names...

The biggest part of the story was left out ... what was on the fricking camera??????

My imagination is in working order ... but tantalizing tidbits would help it along:>)

At least Jerry Sandusky can't be accused of this perverted little scheme. Jerry the Fairy is on trial, and he only likes little boys.................

@ ThePunisher, Thank you for clarifying your stance on this and showing everyone how you deal with differing opinions by name calling. Now lets go back and reexamine what was written to show you what you missed. I'll use all caps on the important word to overcome any reading comprehension shortcomings.

There was no comparison to rape. A comparison was made to the ATTITUDE that some backwards and small-minded people have that tries to justify a crime by attacking it's victim on an assumed moral ground.

Perhaps you could gain a little perspective with a different scenario from rape. Lets say a video of your daughter shows up on peeingprincesses dot com. Some backwards people believe women should not leave the house. They might say, "Had she not left the house, this would not have happened." Is it her fault because she chose to use a public restroom?

ThePunisher, maybe your hang up was on the "women" part? The man in this story is a great example of how an awkward person can make poor decisions when around women. So lets try another analogy with which you might be more comfortable. How about racism instead of sexism: Justifying the videoing of these women based on what they wear is like justifying the shooting of Trevon Martin because a black man should know better than to be out after dark. I hope you can see that this ATTITUDE is wrong. If not, then ScottW714 and I are not the idiots here.

They need to release the evidence(pictures he took) like they did in the Zimmerman/Martin case.

Now he might get some practice being a girlfriend.

Admitting you did it is not taking responsibility. He was caught. What else is he going to say? Being responsible would be putting down the camera while he had a chance to do it. He doesn't get any respect points for stating the obvious and trying to appeal to a cop with a "man to man" statement as thought the officer is interested in his lame excuses.

you're kidding, right? Roger Clemens said "nah, I never did it." Barry Bonds' head was a big as a Pumpkin, but he never did it. OJ walked. Casey Anthony walked. People refuse to admit they've done wrong. At least this guy flat out said, "yeah, i'm guilty".

That guy?

yep, that guy.

Hey, he is no perv! He was tping pretty women, not men.

I don't understand why he is a creey perv? If it was brad pitt doing it, it would be ok?

You people seriously don't understand this is an invasion of privacy? Voyeurism? That Josh Powell's creepy dad just got prosecuted for this. It's a crime and it doesn't matter what any of the parties look like, or if you assume someone would/should enjoy it. Thinking like that is sick.

he's a perv because he's sneaky and dishonest, and gets off on looking at women get undressed without their permission. He should wait till after the show and engaged in conversation, charm them, ask them out, like Brad Pitt would do.

good point, Raymond. I was at the Westin Diplomat in Ft. Lauderdale last weekend, and nearly scorched my eyeballs out. good thing the wife was with me, or i'd still be in the hospital with whiplash. You want an eyefull, the beach here in Florida's the place to do it. Heck, they might even enjoy you filming them!!!

He's a perv because he did not pay for the privilege. Maybe he should be charged with copyright infringement, like stealing movies. These women take money for exhibiting their bodies (at times and places of their choice, not the voyeur's.) But he illegally cut them out of their pay, as well as their agents' and pimps' shares.

+1 to you sir..

An unnamed source in the police station confirmed to local reporters that some of the detectives were seen leaving the investigation room for 10 minutes at a time while reviewing the tape.

free Rod Blagojevich!

You would also be surprised at how many men don't have wives, mothers, sisters or daughters who pose for Playboy or work at Hooters. Womenn with nice bodies love to show them off - even more so than men with great bodies do - compare the number of nude scenes by gender in the movie. These women were just upset that they were not getting paid to undress in front of the camera - and for that they are right on! He was a thief - not a perv!

And where is this argument when we talk about invading Iraq or Afghanistan to free the oppressed women there, or when people decry Islam as a religion that oppresses women?

"The general theme from many posters here is that she deserved it..."

Deserved what?

Watermoon,

You're totally missing the point. You cannot justify spying on people changing clothes in private without their permission, so don't even try!

Deserve what rick? To be stared at? What's the old saying, a picture would last longer.

Typical MSNBC. If you can't say something goo d about Obama then print fluff!

Yes, there are state-of-the-art cameras that are impossible to see when properly concealed. If they are on a wire (vs. wireless transmitter), then they cannot be detected by a bug sweep.
