Comics History
Spirou (1938-present)
Spirou is the longest-running and without doubt one of the most iconic European comic magazines. While its direct competitor Tintin was famous for its serious, realistic stories, Spirou stood out for its humor and freshness.
A family effort
The magazine was the brainchild of Jean Dupuis, owner of a Catholic printing firm in the Walloon town of Marcinelle, near Charleroi. Born in 1875, Jean Dupuis had started the business at the age of 20, when he installed his first printing press in the kitchen of the Dupuis family home. The firm had well established its name in Belgian households in the 1920s with their family magazines Bonnes Soirées and Le Moustique, as well as the Flemish counterparts De Haardvriend and Humoradio. By 1937 the idea arose to start a third magazine, aimed at children.
From the second issue of Spirou, 1938
Since the firm was a family effort, the entire Dupuis clan came together for a brainstorm session regarding the name and the mascot of the magazine. The name was picked from a Walloon phrase for squirrel, spirou, which also means as much as a young tearaway. The Parisian artist Robert Velter (Rob-Vel) was assigned to give the character its looks. Velter made him a bellboy, who literally came to life from an artist's canvas on the frontpage of the first tabloid-sized issue on 21 April 1938.
Also present in the first issue was 'Bibor et Tribar', another Rob-Vel creation, the melodramatic strip 'Les Aventures de Zizette', created by Velter's wife Blanche Dumoulin and Velter family friend Luc Lafnet, and 'Les Aventures de Tif' by Fernand Dineur. The bald Tif was accompanied by the bearded Tondu a couple of weeks later, and the classic duo 'Tif et Tondu' was born. Most of the early comics were of American origin however, such as 'Superman' by Siegel and Shuster, Fred Harman's 'Red Ryder', 'Brick Bradford' by William Ritt and Clarence Gray and Chester Gould's plainclothes detective 'Dick Tracy'. A Flemish equivelent of Spirou called Robbedoes was launched in October of the same year.
Survival during World War II
The outbreak of World War II caused the mobilization of several of the firm's labourers, but also of its main artist, Rob-Vel. Paper shortages and postal problems between France and Belgium were other issues that had to be dealt with. Since Jean Dupuis was in exile in London, his sons Paul and Charles Dupuis and son-in-law René Matthews were put in charge of the day-to-day business.
One of the most valuable resources proved to be Joseph Gillain, a.k.a. Jijé, a local artist from Dinant. He had been with the magazine since 1939, drawing stories like 'Le Mystère de la Clef Indoue' and 'Trinet et Trinette dans l'Himalaya'. But by 1940 he not only continued the title comic when all contact was lost with the Velter family, but he also drew fill-in episodes of the American comics, while additionally drawing weekly installments of his own series 'Valhardi' and the comic biographies of Don Bosco and Christopher Columbus.
Jean Valhardi (1943-44)
Despite the war, the circulation was nearly doubled between Summer 1941 and Autumn 1942 from 85,000 to 152,000 weekly copies. Another mainstay was added to the team of local artists with the arrival of Sirius and his Jack London-inspired hero 'L'Épervier Bleu'. In 1943, the German Propaganda Abteilung wanted to assign a German administrator to the publishing house, which Dupuis refused. A publication stop was decreed by the oppressor in the Summer of that year. Dupuis managed to by-pass the ban by publishing the books 'L'Espiègle au Grand Coeur' and 'L'Almanch 1944' in the following months, but the Germans saw through the plan.
Spirou had a large and loyal fanbase however, which can largely be attributed to the unoffical editor-in-chief Jean Doisy, a.k.a. Le Fureteur (Snuffeltje in Flemish). The communist Doisy, whose real name was Georges Évrard, was the driving force behind the "Amis de Spirou" and their camps, code of honour and secret language. He had even written hidden messages for the Resistance in his editorials! During the publication ban he kept the Spirou spirit high through the puppet shows starring the magazine's main heroes performed by André Moons and his Farfadet Theatre.
Rule #4 of the Spirou code of honour: "A friend of Spirou is loyal to God and his country
Start of the Golden Age
Shortly after the Liberation, Spirou came back stronger than ever on 5 October 1944. Joseph Gillain guided a new team of artists into a new era what was to become the magazine's Golden Age. The young André Franquin took over the adventures of Spirou and Fantasio, a character that originated in Doisy's editorials but was turned into Spirou's loyal sidekick by Jijé. Gillain also handed over his other series to his pupils, while he concentrated on his gospel in comics format, 'Emmanuel'. Eddy Paape was handed 'Jean Valhardi' and Victor Hubinon drew a new story with 'Blondin et Cirage'. Also, Dineur left 'Tif et Tondu' in the capable hands of the young Will, while Morris created his worldfamous cowboy 'Lucky Luke'.
Lucky Luke
Another important contributor became the World's Press agency in Liège, that was started by Georges Troisfontaines in 1946. Troisfontaines had written Spirou's aviation section under the name Georges Cel since 1939, and now aspired to become the main supplier of editorials and realistic comics to the magazine. The first was the aviation comic 'Buck Danny' by Victor Hubinon and Jean-Michel Charlier, that remained a regular feature in the magazine's pages until 2007. The agency also started the educational series on history, 'Les Belles Histoires de l'Oncle Paul' (1951), of which Charlier and Octave Joly were the main writers. Many artists made their first steps in the comics field in this series in the following decades, such as Hermann, Jean Graton, Dino Attanasio, Liliane & Fred Funcken, Arthur Piroton and Derib.
It was with this new team of talented artists that the magazine went into its heyday of the 1950s and 1960s. Several wonderful series appeared during this period, of which many have become classics of European comics. Franquin's 'Spirou' stories are widely considered masterpieces. Charlier proved himself a master in realistic adventure comics - besides 'Bucky Danny', he also created the boyscout comic 'La Patrouille des Castors' with MiTacq and the journalist 'Marc Dacier' with Paape, but also comics biographies of 'Surcouf', 'Stanley' and 'Mermoz'.
Gil Jourdan by Tillieux
Other notable arrivals were of Peyo with 'Johan et Pirlouit' in 1952 and of Maurice Tillieux with 'Gil Jourdan' in 1956. Jijé resumed his work with new stories starring 'Blondin et Cirage' and 'Jean Valhardi' and also created the western hero 'Jerry Spring' in 1954, while Sirius visited all periods in world history with his 'Timour' dynasty. And let's not forget Marcel Remacle with 'Vieux Nick', Gérald Forton with 'Alain Cardan' and René Hausman with his attractive nature comic 'Saki'. Franquin and Jidéhem illustrated a great many cars of the time for the 'Starter' section.
Peyo's Johan et Pirlouit
Heavy competition came from Tintin, a magazine built around Hergé's hero, published by Le Lombard in Brussels since 1946. It was an unwritten rule that artists working for either one of these magazines should not work for the other. Just like their readers, the artists were also loyal to their employer, with a couple of exeptions. Both Franquin and Will left Dupuis for Lombard at one point or another during the 1950s, but they quickly returned due to the more serious atmosphere with the other magazine. Other departures were more permanent. Artists like Paape and Graton found a steady home in Tintin with their series 'Luc Orient' and 'Michel Vaillant', while Raymond Macherot left Tintin to find a more fitting home for his funny animal worlds in Spirou, for which he created 'Chaminou' and 'Sibylline'.
The days of Delporte
The recovering economy paved the way for Dupuis to publish most of its important series in book format after publication in Spirou. An extra comics magazine called Risque-Tout was added in 1955, but proved less successful than its big brother and was cancelled in the following year. The cheerful mood of Spirou on the other hand was further enhanced through the inventive and innovating leadership of editor-in-chief Yvan Delporte and man-of-ideas Maurice Rosy. Delporte was a great supporter of crazy ideas, and the unexplained arrival of a lazy beanpole in the magazine's editorial pages marked the birth of one of the most remarkable anti-heros of comics history, 'Gaston Lagaffe'. Furthermore, the 'Gaston' strip, drawn by Franquin and Jidéhem from 1957, gave a hilarious fictional look behind the scenes in the magazine's editorial offices.
Even the most unlikely events from the Gaston comics were not always fictional. Delporte has brought several animals to the editorial offices, including a monkey and a lion cub called Pinky.
Delporte and Rosy were also the masterminds of the so-called 'mini-récits'. These small comic stories were printed in the middle of the magazine and could be folded into mini comic booklets. Many characters that later appeared on the regular pages had their first appearance in this section, most notably 'Boule et Bill' by Jean Roba and Peyo's 'Smurfs', who had been previously introduced in the 'Johan et Pirlouit' comic. But also 'Génial Olivier' by Jacques Devos, 'Bobo' by Maurice Rosy and Paul Deliège, 'Sam et l'Ours', by Lagas and Deliège and 'Le Flagada' by Charles Degotte also became regulars for decades to come.
Where the 'Oncle Paul' stories were a training platform for artists in the realistic style, the mini-books were a useful introduction of young humorists. Several anonymous employers of the publisher's lettering and art studios got the opportunity to publish their own work in the mini-books, such as Serge Gennaux, Charles Degotte, Deliège and Louis Salvérius. A very productive artist for this section was Noël Bissot who drew a great many untitled stories featuring many memorable recurring characters.
Spirou covers from 1963, 1967 and 1968. Until 1966 the cover always featured a comic strip. This was mostly the weekly episode of the 'Spirou' comic or a 'Gaston' gag.
Spirou continued its successful formula throughout nearly all of the 1960s. New series were launched, such as 'Benoît Brisefer' by Peyo, 'Foufi' by Kiko and 'La Ribambelle' by Roba until "disaster struck" in 1968. That year is often referred to as the end of the golden era and the start of the decline. By then, Delporte quit his job as editor-in-chief, while Franquin handed over 'Spirou et Fantasio' to Jean-Claude Fournier from Brittany to spend all his time on 'Gaston'. Peyo became more and more involved in the merchandising deals regarding his Smurfs, and Morris took his 'Lucky Luke' comic and moved over to Pilote.
Next generation in the 70's
Luckily, a new generation of artists was ready to guide the magazine into the 1970s. First of all, Peyo's former co-workers Walthéry, Gos, De Gieter, Francis and Wasterlain all had series of their own by now. Gos created his extraterrestrial cat 'La Scrameustache', while De Gieter delved into ancient Egypt for his series 'Papyrus'. The times had changed and the readers were deemed ready for a wave of female heroines. Jidéhem had already made solo stories starring 'Sophie', a secondary character from his 'Starter' stories, but the late 1960s also marked the arrival of air hostess 'Natacha' by François Walthéry and Gos, Roger Leloup's electrical engineer 'Yoko Tsuno' and the fairytale world of 'Isabelle' by Will, Delporte and Macherot.
Hard-boiled action was also not avoided with the arrival of action hero and Charles Bronson look-alike 'Archie Cash' by Malik and Jean-Marie Brouyère. Tillieux expanded his activities with a focus on scriptwriting. He succeeded Rosy as the writer of the 'Tif et Tondu' series, created FBI agent 'Jess Long' with Arthur Piroton and the slapstick serial on neighborly irritations with 'Marc Lebut et son voisin' with Francis. One of the most popular new series was 'Les Petits Hommes' by Pierre Seron, whose art showed a strong resemblance to Franquin.

The writer that would determine the magazine's personality the most during the following decades was however Raoul Cauvin. A former cameraman with Dupuis' animation department, he had been writing the occasional comic strip during the 1960s. One of his first and best-known successes is 'Les Tuniques Bleues', about the American Civil War. When the original artist Louis Salverius tragically died in the early 1970s, he was succeeded by Willy Lambil, who had been drawing 'Sandy et Hoppy' since the 1950s. Cauvin's humorous series quickly multiplied during the 1970s, and hardly a theme was skipped. He visited the gangster era of 1930s Chicago in 'Sammy' with Berck, the days of Napoleon in 'Godaille et Godasse' with Jacques Sandron, while mocking the law with the round police officer 'L'Agent 212' with Daniel Kox and introducing a mini-Tarzan and his friend gorilla in 'Les Jungles Perdues' with Mazel.

The new editor-in-chief was Thierry Martens, whose impressive knowledge of the history of the publishing house Dupuis, its magazines and its authors earned him the nickname "Monsieur Archive". He searched new talent in the 'Carte Blanche' section, which meant the debuts of Philippe Bercovici, Yann, Luc Warnant, Bernard Hislaire and Alain Dodier. Other new talent was found in the fanzine scene, such as Christian Darasse, André Geerts, Watch, Dédé, Bom and Bosse.
New wave of mature comics
By the late 1970s, the comics medium had matured. Classic infallible heroes were considered old-fashioned, and the time had come for more human protagonists. Hislaire, Geerts and Wasterlain told romantic and poetic stories in their respective series 'Bidouille et Violette', 'Jojo' and 'Docteur Poche'.
Header for Le Trombone by Franquin
Even the older generation turned to more mature-themed comics when Yvan Delporte started the Spirou supplement Le Trombone Illustré between 17 March and 20 October 1977. Inspired by modern comic magazines of the time, such as Fluide Glacial, Métal Hurlant and L'Écho des Savanes, the supplement featured work by Enki Bilal, Claire Bretécher, F'Murr and Gotlib. Franquin was present with his beautiful illustrated headers starring a cast of characters including a rather controversial bishop - which was rather remarkable for a religious publishing house like Dupuis. He also made his first black humor gags 'Idées Noires', while Frédéric Jannin and Thierry Culliford made gags about the generation gap with 'Germain et nous...'.
By 1978 Martens was replaced by Alain De Kuyssche, a journalist without a former background in comics. During De Kuyssche's tenure, new artists of the Saint-Luc art school such as Philippe Berthet and Antonio Cossu were introduced with more experimental and artistic work. Hermann was also present with 'Nick', a modern rendition of 'Little Nemo'. The arrival of Yann and Conrad caused quite a stir, when they poked fun at all the established series and artists in their margin illustrations. Their series 'Les Innomables' was far too violent and explicit for the readership, and the duo was eventually banned from the magazine.
Spirou covers from 1983, 1984 and 1985
The general tone of the magazine became even more mature under De Kuyssche's successor's reign Philippe Vandooren in the 1980s. Dodier and Makyo had started the decade with the melancholic 'Gully', but soon found success with their clumsy detective 'Jérome K. Jérome Bloche'. Marc Michetz and Bosse introduced their samurai 'Kogaratsu' in 1983, and Frank Pé created his poetic 'Brousaille'. Griffo and Van Hamme made the Orwellian series of short stories 'S.O.S. Bonheur', while Tome wrote the adventures of policeman in disguise 'Soda' for Luc Warnant and later Bruno Gazzotti and Frank Le Gall created his maritime adventurer 'Théodore Poussin'. The distinction between these series and the more mainstream comics was also noted by the publisher, who placed the book publications in special collections like Repérages and Aire Libre.
Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche by Dodier
Fournier was released from the 'Spirou' comic and after some try-outs with new authors, including Nic Broca & Cauvin, Tome & Janry and Yves Chaland, Tome and Janry were finally named the official new authors of the title comic. They relied heavily on the Franquin-era of the series, not only through the drawing style, but also by revisiting earlier characters like John Helena, Seccotine and Zorglub. The duo produced many new albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s to much acclaim by the audience, and even introduced a younger, and more naughty, version of the character in a series of gags under the title 'Le Petit Spirou'.

Dutch independence and return to humour
Ever since the 1930s, the Dutch version Robbedoes had been largely a translation of its French older brother. But by the 1980s the editors Jos Wauters and Erwin Cavens got more freedom in filling special sections of their own. This meant the inclusion of work by Dutch and Flemish artists like Ikke ('Biebel'), Gerrit Stapel ('Huon de Neveling'), Toon van Driel ('Felis Leo'), Pjotr & Eric Meynen ('Tommy Gun en Marion Lee'), Gerard Leever ('De vloek van Bangebroek') and Peter de Smet ('Morgenster en Durandel'). But at the end of the decade Robbedoes returned to being a mere - and by now shortened - translation of Spirou. Only Gerrit de Jager and Luc Cromheecke found their way to the French audience with respectively 'Roel en zijn Beestenboel' ('Aristote et ses Potes') and 'Tom Carbon'.
Roel en zijn beestenboel by Gerrit de Jager
Some of the more serious comics were removed from the magazine in the late 1980s and 1990s, and the focus returned to humor a more juvenile audience. After some final efforts by veterans like Franquin, Will, Macherot and Remacle, the magazine was almost completely handed over to new talent. Cauvin got competition as most productive scriptwriter from the likes of François Gilson and Zidrou, who created new series like 'Mélusine', 'Garage Isidore', 'Les Crannibales' and 'Tamara', with art by Clarke, Olis, Fournier and Darasse.
Le Boss
Of course, Cauvin remained present in every issue with short comical stories and gags of 'Pierre Tombal' (with Marc Hardy), 'Les Femmes en Blanc' (with Bercovici), 'Cupidon' (with Malik), 'Les Paparazzi' (with Mazel), 'Les Psy' (with Bédu) and 'Cédric' (with Laudec). Albert Blesteau and Christian Godard created the baby boy 'Toupet', while Serge Ernst and Midam satirized fanatic television viewers and gamers in their respective gag series 'Les Zappeurs' and 'Kid Paddle'. Short stories were provided by young artists like Baron Brumaire, E411, Jean-Michel Thiriet, Lewis Trondheim, Manu Larcenet and Blatte.
Kid Paddle by Midam
Stephen Desberg and Denis Lapière were responsible most of the longer adventure serials. Desberg had been writing 'Tif et Tondu' and '421' for father and son Maltaite since the 1980s, and came up with new creations like 'Jimmy Tousseul' with Daniel Desorgher and 'Billy the Cat' with Stéphane Colman. The latter also became a TV star in his own cartoon series, just like other Dupuis heroes like 'Spirou et Fantasio', 'Papyrus' and 'Cédric'. Lapière created the final rendition of 'Tif et Tondu' with Alain Sikorski, and started new series like 'Charly' with Magda, 'Alice et Léopold' with Olivier Wozniak, 'La Clé du Mystère' with Sikorski, 'Luka' with Gilles Mezzomo and 'Oscar' with Christian Durieux.
Editor-in-chief during this period (1993-2004) was Thierry Tinlot, who recaptured some of the classic spirit and fun from the Delporte era. This period also marked the return of funny editorial pages and photo comics, that regularly starred Raoul Cauvin. Zidrou and Bercovici also came up with a new editorial comic strip in the tradition of 'Gaston Lagaffe', starring a caricature of Tinlot, called 'Le Boss'.

75 years and counting...
Although the battle between Spirou with Tintin had come to a conclusion with the demise of the latter in 1988, the year 2004 really marked the end of an era. In that year, the publishing activities of Dupuis were bought by Média-Participations, the company that now owns most of the major European comic book publishers, including Dargaud and Le Lombard - indeed, the former publisher of Tintin.
Robbedoes ceased publication in September 2005, but Spirou even got 20 pages extra in 2006 and celebrated its 75th birthday in 2013. The magazine remains a breeding ground for new generations of talented comic artists and some of the freshness and fun of the golden era has definately returned. Evergreens of this period are occasionally reprinted, but new artists and series are introduced every year. Patrick Pinchart returned to the seat of editor-in-chief (he had previously held this occupation from 1987 till 1993) and the magazine was restyled. The mini-books section was revived and new authors were added to the team.
Fabien Vehlmann has been one of the most versatile writers of the new millennium with series like 'Green Manor' and 'Seuls', that he makes in cooperation with the artists Denis Bodart and Bruno Gazzotti. Together with Yoann he is also responsible for the new adventures of 'Spirou et Fantasio'. Another hit series that should be mentioned is 'Les Nombrils' by Dubuc and Delaf.
Spirou covers from 2004, 2008 and 2010
The long history of the magazine and its publisher is carefully researched by Christelle and Bertrand Pissavy-Yvernault. The first book of their 'Véritable Histoire de Spirou' covers the years 1937-1946 and was published in January 2013. The book contains testimonies by the people involved and their relatives, and reveals new facts that shed light on several mysteries that still surrounded this largely uncovered period of the magazine's existence.

I Just Love these people.
I Just Love these people. Literally prefer them over standard banking. Fast, Courteous and friendly service. I have a business account with them as well. Regular banks want to make you wait for a large check to clear while they float your funds. Not So here at Moneytree. They even cash out of state personal checks that are hand written with only a call and a computer account verification. How Wonderful is that. My bank had given me so much heartache and had taken their pound of flesh way too many times I just said ENOUGH! Been happier for the last 3 years with Moneytree! - Tonna C. , 8/17/2014

I'm a business owner and had just missed my bank
I'm a business owner and had just missed my bank. I'd never been to Moneytree and had always heard these types of places were pretty shady. I had to get this check cashed and decided to give Moneytree a try. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in at the clean, bright and inviting atmosphere. I was immediately greeted with a smile by Dee as she called me forward. The process was quick and painless, and I enjoyed her quick wit and fun banter. After telling me about the different products Moneytree offered I inquired about business loans and was very impressed with her depth of knowledge and understanding of the process. I will definitely be back in the future and will pass the good word onto all my friends and colleague's. Dee provided me with the best customer service I have had in years.

I was hesitent to try a payday loan, but found myself in a situation that it was necessary to at least consider it an option. I stopped in, and was NEVER treated so nicely, everything explained so well and efficiently and was in and out in maybe 15 minutes with a loan and probably the best experience I've had as a customer anywhere. I will definitely be back if needed and I've already spread the word about how wonderful this Moneytree is!!

I had a wonderful experience at this money tree location. I believe the person who helped me out was named Jesus. He was extremely friendly and helpful. Normally I don't write many good reviews but he stood out in my head. He seemed well informed and went above and beyond to help me. I would definitely recommend moneytree to everyone because of my experience there. Great work Jesus!!! - Cooper , 4/14/2013

Sarah always makes me feel welcome and takes care of me. - Daina E. , 11/6/2012
To my pleasant surprise the people were very friendly
I was looking for a local place to acquire money orders other than my bank, so I walked into the adjacent UPS business to inquire. They steered me next door towards Moneytree. Because of all the horror stories I have heard about high interest loans, I hesitantly walked into the branch. To my pleasant surprise the people were very friendly, professional and efficient. I have since acquired a pre-paid visa, returned approximately six more times and with each visit I feel more at home. Now when the conversation with my friends or business associates rolls around to money, I don't hesitate to recommend Moneytree. Thank You! - Paul H. , 9/28/2012
Moneytree Response: Hi Paul. Thank you for leaving feedback regarding your Moneytree experience.

The staff and special the manager are very rude and they act and treat you like you don't deserve to be there even when you make your reservation and you pay for it!!!
Worst experience of my life!!! I would prefer to sleep on the street then to stay there! Nobody will tell or ask you anything when you check in !!! After you check in the manager will knock on your door and if you don't open it he will force(open) the door and get in whit out your permission !!! They not gone ask you if you have a pet whit you and you will find out later from the manager that they are not pet friendly and if they will find that you have a little pet whit you they will ask you to live immediately whit out getting your money back or if you ask why ? or can I get my money back they will call the police to have you arested !!! That wasn't my idea when I make the reservation and paid for the room. To be on the street whit my wife and our little dog after we paid for our room !!! So if you want to end up in the street whenever the manager feels like it Good Nite Inn near San Diego it perfect for you!!!
clean and comfortable
parking was full and small. I was afraid of somebody hit my car.
Nothing. They did (eventually) refund the money they had taken (weeks before) for the room but that did not make my experience with them a good one. I will never stay here.
They had already collected the money for the nights' stay from the credit card I used to book the room but refused to let me use that same card, or even cash, to pay the "deposit". Since I didn't have a "bank card" with me, they refused to allow me to check in. Basically left me on the streets at 10 pm with no place to stay.
The metress is too soft and I got a backache in the morning
undergropund parking
first time location with GPS difficult
The Wi-Fi had a good strong signal, but almost no bandwidth. It was very slow, painfully slow.
Comfortable bed, convenient location.
They charge a $25 deposit, which seems weird. And then didn't credit it back. So that raised the price of the stay. And they charge for WiFi when booked through Booking.com, it's free if you book directly.
Bed, friendly staff, walking distance to food, quiet, room was huge
Wifi clearly needs to say $5 not see fine print, Knock at door in morning but no one outside, shower rod needs replacement, towels need to be softer, carpet needs deep clean, a/c unit only has fan working
Bed comfortable. Location close to Old Town and freeways
Terrible dirty carpet
I like the size of the room the staff was nice
You have to pay for wifi and the rooms have to be aired out
Somebody called room phone and knock the door at midnight. Annoy !!!
Clean, well located, economic
Plastic wrap on the mattress made it a little uncomfortable and hot...
I got the room at an exceptonal rate!
There was a party next door!
Cheap yet clean
Please update computer software to make check in quick and efficient!
Good location for visiting old town and Seaworld. large room. nice and helpful staff. nice budget motel.
paid wifi, seriously in this era? no coffee maker in the room. pretty noisy in the bathroom.
Having to use credit card, but do understand the policy
Staff were kind, Price was cheap. Good times.
They made me pay a $25 security deposit that was not on the booking website. I argued, but paid. They said it was in the terms and conditions. I said not where I booked. It soured my first impression.
Price, availability, clean room
Five dollars a day for Wi-Fi. I didn't buy it
Price paid for the time of and day I booked room . The room was clean I was on the 3rd floor did not like that but it was the last room available. Would stay again if price was same
No microwave in room On 3rd floor

MAYOR HANNEMANN UNVEILS NEW Mayor Mufi Hannemann today announced the opening of the new ôThis is a wonderful new addition to the garden, and I welcome everyone to visit and enjoy it,ö Mayor Hannemann said. ôThis beautiful botanical garden is truly an urban oasis that weĺre very fortunate to have. The Mayor Hannemann said he had been in strong support of such a butterfly sanctuary since he visited a similar garden during an official visit to ôI would like to express my appreciation to Butterfly Society President Jerrold Fuller and his wife Niki and all the ĹGarden Angelsĺ for coming forward in a true public-private partnership to make this a success,ö Mayor Hannemann said. Mayor Hannemann also commended Winnie Singeo, Director of Honolulu Botanical Gardens at The new garden is an outdoor, open-air butterfly habitat garden that encompasses 3,600 square feet. It will serve as a living classroom to educate children and adults about the interdependence of life between butterflies, plants, and people. Butterflies are important natural pollinators of plants, producing fruits and seeds. The Butterflies have good color vision, and the new garden is planted with over 2 dozen different plants (including native Hawaiian plants) arranged by color: red, orange, yellow, purple, and purple/yellow. The plants provide food for the caterpillars and nectar for the butterflies. Volunteers are helping to maintain the butterfly garden; they get to work in a great environment, enjoying the beauty of both the garden, and the butterflies. -30- Contacts: Bill Brennan, Mayorĺs Office, 527-6928; Jerrold Fuller, president of the Butterfly Society of Hawaii, 373-4200 |

ROCKWALL – Hundreds of "Nate's Mates" are in mourning this week after six-year-old Nate Oxford passed away last week after a valiant battle against medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer.
A "Celebration of Life" services have been planned for Feb. 8, 7 pm, at Lake Pointe Church, 701 I-30 in Rockwall. Survivors include his parents, Wes and Jackie Oxford, of Fate, as well as brothers, Jake and Luke. His seventh birthday would have been Feb. 15.
Nate's Mates are the army of hundreds of family and friends who have supported Nate and his family for the past four years.
His father informed nearly 6,000 Facebook followers on their "Pray for Little Nate" page that Lake Pointe was selected partially because of its large auditorium. He wrote that the services will be family-friendly and include a video, band and a few speakers. He said the event would last about an hour and a half.

- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to examine the structure of negative mood states among young adolescents. Students (N=216) aged 11-15 years from a secondary school in Melbourne, Australia, completed the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS) [Lovibond, S. H., & Lovibond, P. F. (1996). Depression anxiety stress scales. Sydney: The Psychology Foundation of Australia Inc.]. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) failed to find support for a three-factor model. Further analyses suggested that items from the DASS were best represented by two factors, namely a generalized negativity factor and a factor comprising items indicating physiological arousal.

School Board Brief
Board of Education Meeting, November 17, 2008
The Board came out of an executive session to start its regular meeting.
Superintendent's Evaluation: The first item of business was a discussion of the purpose of the executive session, which was the finalization of the superintendent's evaluation. This year's evaluation included a survey of the administrative team and the staff. The evaluation is a public document. The Board thanked the staff for participating in the evaluation process.
The Board set the date of the next evaluation to be completed by November 1 of 2009 in order that any new incoming Board members elected in November not be required to be a part of the evaluation process.
The Board informally agreed that it wished to extend the superintendent's contract and authorized its president to select another member of the Board to discuss with the superintendent and the district's attorney a contract extension beyond the current contract which expires in June 2010. The committee will make a proposal on the extension to the Board.
The Board also provided the press with a copy of the survey results about their own performance, which comprised the Board's self evaluation.
Construction Update: Much of the meeting was devoted to the closeout of the construction project. The Board noted that the Park R-3 construction was finished on time and on budget, noting that some districts have had to shut down their projects after having run out of money. RLH, the district's owner's representative is working with The Neenan Company on a final closeout checklist. The Board and superintendent thanked both Neenan and RLH for not just the construction but for their genuine concern for staff and children and care for the district. The superintendent also thanked Karen Glassman for acquiring a $1.2 million grant, which allowed the district to ask the public for $1.2 million less. Mark Christensen of The Neenan Company introduced their team to say thanks and goodbye. Members of the Neenan team gave high praise to the district.
District Advisory Committee: DAC chair, John Phipps, noted that the change in the Committee's charge, to serve as the eyes and ears of the Board, has increased committee membership. The committee has had engaging reports/discussions on the Learning Center and Johnson Preschool Program, EVICS, and home schooling. The Colorado Department of Education's new growth model was also of concern to the committee. School culture is the primary topic of ongoing discussion. On December 2 the committee will review school improvement plans. On December 10, the lay members of the committee will meet to discuss the contents of their mid-year report.
Monitoring Report: Director of Instruction, Susan Flores, presented the 2008 CSAP results for math. She broke out the results for each grade and noted areas needing improvement.
Principals' Reports: These reports focused on the school improvement plans, each of which is focused on the district's four goals. The Board and superintendent thanked the staff and principals for putting together the best, most detailed plans the superintendent has seen in her tenure at the district.
John Bryant of the Elementary School noted that he was spending two full days each week in the classrooms and hallways conducting formal and informal teacher evaluations. Lisa Wahler and her team of library volunteers received praise for another great book fair.
Superintendent's Report: The superintendent reported that the Commissioner of Education Dwight Jones had numerous compliments for the district on his recent visit to Estes Park. Among those compliments was the comment that an outsider wouldn't know that the schools were in session. The halls were quiet, students were well behaved and kids were in their classrooms learning. He commented that it was obvious that Positive Behavior Supports were working well throughout the district.
Conversations continue with the Estes Park Police Department and Town who will apply for a grant from CDOT to improve the sidewalk systems around the district's perimeter.
Congratulations to Brad Schultz and the Pre K-12 Special Education department for their formal commendation from the Department of Education. The superintendent congratulated Karen Glassman and teachers as she reported that ours was the only district in the BOCES to meet all of the Annual Measureable
Achievement Objectives for English Language Learner students. Statewide, Park R-3 was one of nine districts (out of fifty-two) to meet all objectives.
The Board approved seven requests for Early Graduation, and congratulated those students for their efforts and accomplishments.
The Board also approved on first reading two important administrative policies: Policy ADF (School Wellness) and Policy KDE (Crisis Prevention and Management.)

Taiwanese socialite, Justin Lee's (李宗瑞) drug rape case has become the biggest sex scandal to hit Asia in years. Justin's fetish in recording his sexual activities have spurred comparisons to Edison Chen (陈冠希), whose notorious sex scandal four years ago remains embedded in the public's mind.
Justin Lee Had 3 Male Accomplices?
Although Justin Lee's sex videos featured 50 women, only 10 women have agreed to testify before court in the drug rape case. Justin maintained that the women were willing parties, in which he paid some of the women for one night stands.
Among the 93 sex videos leaked, Justin was seen engaged in sexual activity with a woman, while three male genitalia were also seen in the background. Police suspected the three men to be Justin's accomplices in the drug rape case.
Based on the video clips, it was impossible for the police to identify the identities of the three men. It was speculated that Justin's habit of drugging and bedding women was a practice well-known and shared by his Taiwanese socialite friends.
Barbie Hsu's (徐熙媛) husband, Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲), who is part of the "wealthy second generation," has been implicated in the Justin Lee scandal. After Wang Xiaofei denied the rumors, Barbie also stepped forward to state that they felt helpless in being dragged into the scandal.
Edison Chen's Women Were Willing
Justin Lee's scandal has been widely compared to Edison Chen. Appearing at an event to promote his latest CLOT branded merchandise in Taiwan, Edison was asked to comment on Justin's scandal. Edison countered, "Do you think there is a difference between him and me?"
A female reporter quickly pointed out that Justin Lee was a criminal. Edison smiled and thanked the reporter, implying that he had only slept with willing women.

EDC didn't rape the girls, JL did……. A big different!!!!
He looks terrible… indulging too much…? But I thought his answer to the reporter was kinda cool though…
He has finally grown smart. Let the person asking to answer so that your words won't get analysed, dissected for hidden meanings and twisted to generate more interest.
None of Edison's photos showed any sexual intercourse or women falling asleep as the man engaged in sexual activities. This is no comparison.
Edison's case look mild compared to Justin's .
Ok, so far I have seen nearly 27 of the leaked videos (full length videos). I have the following to say :
1) Justin Lee does NOT USE CONDOMS IN ANY OF THE VIDEOS LEAKED THUS FAR.
2) There are 7 videos I have seen that depict the women half conscious and under the influence
3) In one of the videos, Mr. Lee says to the victim she "raped him" instead. And something about her drinking water and then falling asleep – seems very consistent with the online reports about him giving the victim water then they fall asleep under some influence of drugs perhaps.
4) The women in many of the videos repeated yell NO. Mr. Lee continues to pound away
5) There is a 3P performance by Mr. Lee and 2 willing participants. Again, NO CONDOMS.
6) There is one video of the girl named, MIA – she looks underage, but can't be certain. She is a willing participant.
7) Maggie Wu is featured in the first video I have seen and the high resolution still images of her show everything including fake boobs. She seemed to be drugged up while he attacks her as well.
8) Despite the moaning from the female victims, 7 of the videos do show resistance but for certain, their legs and arms are limp perhaps due to the influence of drugs. You can tell they are half awake and half resisting while Mr. Lee sexually engages them.
9) Mr. Lee shuts off the webcam after every performance and 99% of the video shows the victim doesn't seem to be aware she is being taped; except for the "MIA" video, she seems to be camera shy.
10) There is one video of in which Mr. Lee takes a hand held camera or perhaps his iPhone to video tape the sexual intercourse, but then it was so good, he decided to put down the camera and pound away. Again, depicted on camera WITHOUT A CONDOM.
11) Mr. Lee is a meat and potatos man. I am digressing here but he is strictly pound for pound instead of anything romantic. He missionizes the victims a majority of the times and he ejaculates into the victims plenty of times.
12) At this point in time, I would not bother worrying about compensation from Mr. LEE – instead I would worry about STDs.
Edison Chen is a little boy compared to Mr Justin Lee. Edison just wants to be infamous, but Mr. Lee is a straight up pervert. Not only does he film all of his victims, he enjoys watching it over again because the victims are drugged.
This guy will burn in hell or burn real bad due to STDs. maggie Wu should be ashamed, the guy has bulging eyeballs, receding hairline, and is as ugly as Wong Hei. These women do it strictly for the drugs/and or money. No doubt about it. Whether they are raped, that will be solved in court.
You should have not watched the videos or viewed the photos as majority of the women were raped. In any case, Edison's scandal did not involve any intercourse nor were the women were resisting.
WTF you talking about? It's on the internet, you can view it if you please. Do not tell me what to view what not to view. If your mom was on video, I'd refuse to watch that sh_t.
I can't stop you from watching these videos. However, those women were clearly raped. Violence on any human beings should not be viewed as entertainment.
And just so all of you who are curious (and I know you are), it's just a porn collection. If you've never watched porn, then you need to open up your eyes.
The difference in this porn collection is that these girls seemed to be aware of it and half unaware – in fact, money on the button bet that these chicks all knew what they were getting into. Justin Lee is very common socialite who picks up models and actresses. He is a known playboy but the videos show how much of a real perverted sick rapist he truly is.
I will watch every single video released to date. You can bet on that.
you sound like a 16 y/o girl who just saw a guy kissing 2 girls. Seriously, turn off the internet. You are quite young to comprehend what's going on.
Some ppl can get so irritated and innocent when others watched porn or etc. Those vidoes got leaked out and very obvious there will be ppl watching them.. its really no big deal and that doesn't mean those who watching it "supported" what Justin Lee did to his victims. Asking someone to not watch something which was circulated widely on the internet is like asking someone who cannot breath oxigen when it's a natural thing to do.
There is a HUGE difference between porn and those videos that were leaked. People who do porn are paid and are willing participants. If you wanna watch porn… all for it. The videos that were leaked are of women potentially being RAPED. If I were in those women's shoes, I would never want a anyone to see those clips. As a woman, as a matter of integrity and principle, it disgusts me that people would purposefully search and watch it.
If things like this bothers you then you're certainly too "simple" to be online. There are more disgusting things online you have yet to see like for eg.. man slaughtering pets, beating girlfriends and wives, kids etc..Human are natural born curious animal and they will curious of how Justin drugged them and how they faught him. If watching these videos will downgrade someone's integrity and principle, then i think half of the asia's nation will be label as no moral with low integrity.
Yes, people are animals, but we are also higher functioning animals, meaning we make choices. We can choose to participate or not, and that's what makes us human. Am I curious… yes, but I certainly won't go looking for it online simply b/c I'm curious. If that's what makes me 'simple minded,' sure, why not?
"Edison's scandal did not involve any intercourse nor were the women were resisting."
Not resisting is true, the intercourse part is not true because we don't have the videos. But we do see a lot of foreplay and I doubt Edison stopped at just pictures and such.
I myself watched about 3 of the videos. Different girls, same modus operandi, got bored with it after a while. No doubt the girls were drugged out of their mind. The defence will have a hard time but unfortunately the girls may not want to testify. You have a choice to watch or not to watch. But I watched, admittedly, because out of curiosity, whether the prosecution has a case. After 3 videos, I can say the defence will have a case but the prosecution was not creating some fiction whatever. The videos should be watched so that you learn not to get yourself in those situation. The Other Justin may not be eloquent but he did provide some of the facts and the more I watch the more I feel Justin Lee is a predator. If he is not stopped now, he will probably become more rampant. And he is also very very reckless. Some are genuine, some are sex for drugs, some are as you say date/drug rape. The prosecution just needs 1 girl to come out to testify.
Edison's case involves more bigger names though but yes yes Edison can now saw at least they were willing partners, sort of.
Anyway if you want to watch you will know where to find it. But if you don't want to, then don't. Do not judge either way. And it isn't porn or entertainment. Once curiosity is satisfied, move away before it makes you sicker.
I've seen worse things in Internet. Some I stumbled, some I deliberately searched for. Doesn't make my life more exciting or complete nor does it destroy my intergrity, honour, respect but it did open my eyes and I can honestly say until you see for yourself, you would never know your reaction. But again it is a matter of choice. If you don't want to, don't. If you want to, do it for the right reasons.
I am in the line of work where I can and will be exposed to such stuff. It is not a matter of integrity but a matter of knowing the facts. I admit some do search such stuff for excitement of it. One thing I do not search for and it is illegal sexual activities involving children. I do not wish to cleanse my mind for the rest of my life.
@Funn Lim.
Of course Edison didn't have sexual intercourse. He couldn't because he's impotent, according to Cammi Tse. He probably could only hold up for several seconds to take some nice photos of himself. If he did have sexual intercourse with those ladies, I'm surprised that he didn't take a single photo of it.
I won't search for the videos although I'm tempted to, just like I won't watch the Carina's video or Aaron Kwok's supposed sex video. It's out of respect for Carina and out of support for Aaron as a fan back then.
But, I won't fault The Other Justin for searching out and watching. It's normal for people to be curious. I'm sure The Other Justin didn't watch this videos with the same mindset as watching porn, but, more out of wanting know what really happens. And The Other Justin didn't make any lewd and lusty comment on the women when he was describing the videos. He's more on stating the facts and condemning Justin.
@ Jayne
I don't know whether he has video leaked or not. During the height of the scandal back in the late 90s, there were Aaron Kwok's sex video sold by bootleg video stalls. But, I refuse to buy it back then in support of Aaron as a fan. But, turned out, from what I heard, those videos were fake.
ive only been able to find news clips so its hard to tell if these girls gave consent. dont read chinese so i cant search for the videos. youre right about the women semi knowing what they were getting into. free drinks, vip access,etc; are appealing to them however nobody deserves rape. would you mind linking some non news article vids?
Oh gosh. JL should go to hell and karma will hit him one day.
I've watch the vids although im a female. Curiousity kills the cat. And i dont think me nt watching those vids will make any difference cause there are a lot more ppl out there who are watchin them.
I need to add to this: On the video tape: KRIS, the victim is clearly sleeping/unconscious and/or drowsy. He turns on a single incandescent light bulb and films her sleeping. He creeps up on her unfolding the blanket back to reveal her black panties.
He takes her panties off, then spreads her and does his deed. She semi-wakes to complain of PAIN ~8minute mark. She is resisting him by shoving him with her right hand but it is so limp, it's futile attempt by her. He stops for a moment to see if she is fully awake, then folds her hind legs back into asian squat position and beats her down (sexually).
Rought 3 more minutes fly by, he finishes INSIDE of her…then takes the black panties the victim KRIS held in her right hand and slides the panties back on her then you can see him exit the camera view and you can hear him showering, then coming back to shut off the camera.
You can see some kind of bird or phoenix tattoo on the right shoulder of this KRIS victim. This video is so compelling the victim is not aware of being attacked, he will get buried in court.
I must admit some of your post makes sense but the more you post the more it seems you are glorifying the facts but pretending to be sickened by it. I can read your "excitement" in your post. Maybe you can post these blow by blow account in your own blog and leave your mysterious not so well hidden fascination with these videos in here.
these play by play aren't really necessary. it's a little too vivid. it would be more respectful if you can tone it down a little. it is the internet but each person can do a little to make it better for others.
what comment? thanking a reporter for stating that justin lee is a criminal is not a comment.
he (edison) was implying he was a true player, not a rapist. His (edison's) victims were dumb asian actresses who fell for his little school boy pervert antics, but Justin Lee is the real deal therefore he (edison) wants to make clear he is not a rapist when asked to comment on Justin Lee.
In the public eye, these two scum bags are the same. It's only Justin Lee got caught raping and Edison got caught being a douche pervert.
no comparison….pls justin needs to be cstrated… ec well he thinks hes the dawg..
Any full list of those women? I am so interested.
Are you that pervert to want the full list of women? Please! They are raped, give them some space for them to live without the curious eyes of the men.
+1. Seriously, that was quite an insensitive remark.
Edison look like the "good" guy compared to Justin Lee
Why does Raymond, Edison and Justin have all the same hairstyles?
Oh please don't put LF in the same sentence as those other two dirtbags.
@lol ouch! that one hurts, at least for LF hahaha
To 'The Other Justin',
Let me preface this by saying, there is nothing wrong with watching porn. In fact, masturbation is healthy and normal for all males.
But do you realize, how f**king creepy you made yourself out to be by not only spending hours through questionable channels and underground BBS's to download "most" of the 27.6GB of leaked Justin Lee content, then proceed to go on a forum and give us a FRAME BY FRAME analysis of a dude raping some drugged out woman (in frightening detail), then blasting the guy saying he needs to go to jail? Dude, what the hell. My god, I don't even want to think about how many times you replayed that s**t over and over to build like a hypothesis on whether or not the girls were drugged/willing/raped. Especially to a dirtsheet site whose main demographic is probably women.
how did you know the file size of these videos if you didnt watch them first yourself? just curious. Honestly, I haven't seen any of them just because I'm lazy to surf for them..I do agree with you what "the other justin" did online here by telling bit of bit of these Justin drugging women etc is a bit of "III rated" but thanks to him so I can know more of how Justin drugged these poor women w/o sourcing for the videos.
I think the file size was reported in some article before.
And I do agree with dd, kinda. Honestly, I watched part of one video (like less than 5 minutes of it), just to see what is it about, and I feel quite sick and not turned on because the girl was just lying there like a corpse. And JL was having sex with a zombie. Gross.
And for "The Other Justin" to watch it so intently, and then proceed to analyse it, it's creepy as hell.
I'm sure deep down inside all you men here, you know you'd like to watch it. Some of the videos released isn't bad at all. It's just some douche fxxking some chick(s). There is no BDSM, no dirty sex like you see in japanese porn. In fact, if you watch japanese porn, J Lee's performance would not even be accepted in the porn industry because it is purely LAME.
It shows barely any sexual intercourse, more like an erotic flick at best. There are only a few intercourse porn scenes and he shoots those himself with his iPhone. Other than that, the entire collection I've seen so far is just unflattering. You can't even really tell (without a doubt) if the chicks are moaning in disgust or moaning in lust.
WEll i haven't seen any of the videos so not sure if its really so gross like u and Dd mentioned here. But I am too lazy and scare to download one to watch though fearing there will be virus in the website I download haha.
Filesize was reported on this very site last week.
But you're right, I'm a mega-creeper and I just traced your home address from your IP, and I'm coming to your home right now with chloroform and ducttape.
I don't think you are missing much, because I only watched less than 5 mins, and deleted it. It's quite sick because the girl is like a corpse, and boring, because there's like no foreplay or anything, he just goes and starts having sex in missionary position. it's like if someone get turned on by documentaries of animals mating, maybe these videos are for them.
Come, I'm waiting for ya~ hahaha
Well that's really no fun cuz AV has more actions than Justin's collections.. but I'm still curious to know if there is any big star involved like the Big S, jolin etc?
You will need to ask "The Other Justin" not me.
But I don't think there is, because if there are big names involved (as of now), the news will be plastered all over the mainstream papers/mags (eg. orientaldaily) as well.
What the hell are YOU talking about? How the f did I make myself look creepy? The play by play? If I did not give you any insight into how Justin Lee did what he supposedly did, you would only be reading about it online from blog sites like jaynestars and other sites that sugar coat you the truth.
I didn't replay it over and over like a sex porn fantasy, but instead watched it like any man would do when watching porn sans masturbation. I'm not an expert on RAPE cases, but if a woman says NO once and you continue to pound her, you are raping her.
There is a difference between play rape and real rape – it's a fine line and in these videos, Mr. J Lee is playing the rape fantasy pretty good. The women featured in these videos ALL KNOW HIS NAME and his face. Maybe they didn't like it at first, but some of them actually continued to have sex with him amidst being "raped". One video even depicts her giving him an after ejaculatory blow job.
It's not my hypothesis it's the reality of these videos depicting Mr J Lee sexing them up like eating meat. If the frame by frame story telling is too much for you, I don't know what world you live in because sex is a very natural thing to do; you wouldn't be here if your parents didn't fornicate, my dear.
In the case of Justin Lee, it does not apply (the natural sex). He is a scum bag and extremely perverted and sexual addict based on these videos. I encourage EVERYONE to watch it because how do you know what he did if you don't see him actually do it? It's sex, not him cutting their heads off.
Good grief, I didn't release a link to any sites or BBS or underground channels nor did I get them from those either. It's all in plain site, just google it. And for your information, I don't advocate rape. So don't come at me like I raped these women; you need to address your hate mail towards Justin Lee.
>There is a difference between play rape and real rape – it's a fine line and in these videos, Mr. J Lee is playing the rape fantasy pretty good. The women featured in these videos ALL KNOW HIS NAME and his face.
Yeah, no. Rape is rape.
Knowing your assailants name doesn't make it NOT rape, you creep.
It's also mad suspect that you downloaded 'most' of the leaked vids out there.
Watch the videos before you pass judgement, dd. Don't be ignorant making your comments because you have not seen anything at all.
These girls all know Justin Lee. Whether or not they agreed to lie in bed with him only they know. From all 7 of the videos I've seen out of the 30 so far released, I believe in my opinion they were drugged and then sexually assaulted. But I am not an expert in rape cases so I can't tell if they all loved it or loathed it.
I didn't say the victims knew him and it was OK – it's just that some of the videos show the victims allowing the sex to continue (even when nearly fully awake by then) and further participating. Again, if you didn' t watch the videos, you will never understand.
So stop with your gung ho sh_t about rape is rape. We all know rape is illegal. This guy is a serial rapist.
You even said yourself that they didn't have the energy to make him stop since they were drugged.
Who knew Edison can be the least of the worst eh?
if you think Edison the worst of the worst for what he did then you sure are naive. There are a lot worser people in this world. What Edison did was just what regular playboys do. Tell me what you think Hugh Hefner crime is
EDC is a pervert douche bag. He's not in the same league as Justin Lee. He thinks he is hot sh_t but in reality, only the stupid chicks fall for him and his perverse camera addiction.
Justin Lee's case is premeditated. He planned on drugging these women and then sexually assaulting them. Huge difference.
One is a little boy pervert douche bag, the other is a serial rapist.
Not homo, but there's no denying Edison is one handsome motherf**ker.
All he did wrong was cheat on Vincy Yeung.
come on now, vincy was underage when he was wooing her (into bed I might presume).
Here is the latest video with some chick named nancy: in fact, it's nearly 2 hours long. Here is the description from gutter:
"In this homemade sex film that is almost two hour long Justin Lee (李宗瑞) is seen having sex with Nancy. Then they engaged in some interesting pillow talk with Nancy asking if she was his girlfriend now. Justin told her that she was his girlfriend but Nancy asked if it was an one night stand. Nancy wanted Justin to tell the whole world that she was his girlfriend now so he told her that will update the relationship status on Facebook. He told her that he is a normal guy and that he had not have sex in 4 or 5 months. LOL.. All lies on Justin's part you ca be almost assure… Then the had sex again but this time in the dark. Ad then there was more pillow talk. And some more very interesting conversations were had… This video go black after the first 15 minutes but you have to listen to the pillow talk after the sex. The conversation between the two get amazingly interesting and super weird.
And by the way, why the hell this Nancy chick want Justin as a boyfriend so much? Could it only be because his father is rich as hell? The naive girl in this video actually thought he was a nice guy too and totally bought all his many lies. He told her that he would marry her right away if she got pregnant as a result of the unprotected sex they were having in this video. LOL… He was telling her all that when she had no clue the camera was filming the sex session. Justin Lee is a monster. Forget the threesome video, this is the video you need to see.
I do believe Vincy was 18 at the time, The Other Creepy Justin.
Maybe this so called "nancy" thought she could marry to the rich and become like Christy Chung, Gigi lai etc? Some girls thought they can sleep with the riches so they can easily become mrs. rich too. That's sad and foolish of "some girls".
That's quite sad, but many girls are as naive as this "nancy".
The list of names will come out soon enough – it's all being put together atm.
For all your underage naive girls, a little pillow talk and your panties fall off literally. Stupid girl does what stupid girls do best. That goes for dd here as well.
Says the guy who thinks rape isn't rape if they both know each other.
@dd – boy you are really quite daft.
I do believe Vincy was 18 at the time, The Other Creepy Justin.
Vincy Yeung was 14 when the pix in the bath room leaked from EDC's computer. But 14 is legal age in Canada so EDC dun have a problem.
wow, so it makes it right then. You're quite the cradle robber.
Legal 14 is irrelevent, because Edison is so much older than Vincy.
All of these women need to go get an STD check asap. There is absolutely 100% chance of getting something from this scumbag.
I'm sure every single "victim" is shaking in disbelief (or they do know for a fact) that Mr. Lee gets around ALOT. Unprotected no condom sex with 60 women, lol, I'm surprised his dong has not fallen off yet.
Oh look. Guy who downloaded all their videos and watched them with great scrutiny actually feels sorry for them!
@dd – no, I feel sorry for you. I got exactly the perfect thing for you: a dirty sanchez to lighten you up.
I'm not female, but it's nice to know how you treat women.
@dd: I'm not female, but it's nice to know how you treat women.
Too bad because you sure act like one and for sure if you were one, you'd be treated like how Justin treats his women; exactly like how he does in these videos.
Your name is quite befitting: dumb and daft (dd).
If we're arbitrarily assigning words to random letters, then you certainly gave me a lot of room to work with on your name.
This is sick! why do guys tend to film it?
this guy is making Edison Chen look like a saint, lol.
It is sick for JL to do that, it is even sicker if someone can actually search, downloaded and watching the video like some sort of entertainment. Thos who like to watch rape fantasy prn has no different than a person who commit the act of rape. The difference is The guts to do or not to do.
lol, then the entire nation of taiwan is sick. I'm sure the jury won't watch the video to decide his fate. The audacity of some of you posters is just redonkulous. These women are sordid and depicted in these videos are some tawdry sex between one man and one half willing woman/women.
Take a sociology 101 class and learn about deviant behavior. You might learn a thing or two regarding rape. I'm glad you people aren't part of the jury because Justin lee's fate would be the death penalty just because he had sex with some willing women.
Jury is different because they NEED to. I am saying those who go all the way search it, download and watch it for their own pleasure. Hmm, someone is overly sensitive here.
@ita u misunderstood his post. He was being sarcastic about the jury not needing to view it. You are e one who needs to chill here not him.
Fala = The Other Justin?
I agree with everything "The Other Justin" has said in several posts on this page. Ita, it has nothing to do with guts. From a rational perspective, you'd weigh out the probability of getting caught and the consequences for the rest of your life, and if you think about it you just wouldn't do it.
Have you even watched Japanese porn, where rape fantasies are just rampant? It is not "bad" to watch this kind of porn, as some posters here suggest. You just need to 1) Not overindulge in it; and 2) Know that it is wrong to do that in real life.
Thanks for the play by play! I will download the videos to check out. Thanks!!!
Wow that does sound creepy, like you just read some porn review/recommendation and just want to watch it for pleasure
No comparison. One is a rapist the other is just a plain playboy..
I agree. I mean, it kind of confuses me how everyone goes on about how much of a pervert Edison is, when we live in such a messed up world. Ok so he has sex and records it. Yet, so many people take naked photos and sends it to people /partners, no reaction. People watching and getting off on whack **** porn, 'porn is normal'. All the guy did was have a personal collection of videos of people he had sex with willingly who he probably knew or was with. He obviously kept the videos for himself and ruined their careers/lives, but everyone was willing and at the very least, I think he still saw them as humans and not just a piece of meat like Justin Lee did. Especially to those who claim they're the same, wow. No. One is a criminal (or to be) and the other one is just probably like a lot of other men who like to record their sexual deeds.
Bad versus worse. They are both terrible, but at least Edison didn't use force.
@Funn – It is not a matter of integrity but a matter of knowing the facts. I admit some do search such stuff for excitement of it. One thing I do not search for and it is illegal sexual activities involving children. I do not wish to cleanse my mind for the rest of my life.
Sames thoughts as me, we do not search stuff for the excitement. I feel, with children, nieces/nephews of our own, we sometimes need to know the minds of the predator and their modus operandi. I read about the scandal and only watched 3 vids to come to the same conclusion that JL is a rapist and if the girls are truly willing, they wouldn't be high on drugs while he's so alert and able to rape and tape. Men who derive pleasure when a woman is unconscious or semi-conscious is worse than an animal.
While I don't pass judgement on who watches what, I do hope The Other Justin won't state it in such detail here. Some who only reads gossips/scandals for general reading may feel disturbed – after all, if they were interested in the episode synopsis they can very well search for it themselves.
hey…edison chen is always cool
there is nothing wrong to be a scandal,as long as both parties are willing to do so.thats it.
hope to join you guys..
