There is the whole creepy Jim Jones new age cult leader thing Edmonds has going, but actual child molestation seems a bit banal for someone so eccentric. I could easily imagine him using Deal or No Deal as a method of indoctrinating small sleeper cells that he will then use as assassins when the time comes to unveil his masterplan, though. With any luck he'll team up with David Icke and together they will root out the sinister reptilian child-loving cult that runs the British establishment or something.

I was mainly making a hyperbolic joke about how Edmonds is a big new age hippy with some bizarre, cult leader-like affectations and beliefs. I think Jon Ronson wrote an article about the holding pen / hotel retreat for DoND contestants where they go through all kinds of trust and positivity exercises to prime them for the show, encouraging them to develop magical thinking systems for the random box-content guessing game. There was also the show he did in, I think, the early 2000s where he was a kind of televangelist / populist demagogue like Glenn Beck, promising a TV revolution that mainly boiled down to stuff like pestering local councils about bins while striking a messianic pose.

Mr Blobby was actually a moving foam rubber prison designed to hold two abused children, one standing on the other's shoulders. The garbled speech of this charming homunculus was actually the pained cries of the children as they were paraded on national television as a final act of humiliation.

Sex robots are a creepy idea I really don't want to see become a reality, but part of me knows they inevitably will and I can't think of a good rationale for banning them. I look forward to hilarious public health risks from black market sex robots becoming a phenomenon.

It seems that the inquiry into Kincora boys home is relevant to this thread's topic.

We'll wait till they're all dead, then we'll punish them.
