Not suitable for younger surfers. Really. If you’re under, oh, let’s say about 13 or so, this will only creep you out.

LEAD STORY
- West Hempstead, N.Y., high school guidance counselor David D’Amato, 39, was convicted in April of e-mail-disabling mischief against three universities, crimes motivated by revenge when certain male students at those schools tried to break off their association with D’Amato. Their relationships consisted of D’Amato’s paying them each hundreds of dollars over the years for their making videotapes of themselves being tied up and tickled, for D’Amato’s viewing pleasure. D’Amato, who was known as “territickle” in his online community, was not charged with sex crimes because the boys were at all times clothed and their activity limited to tickling. [Newsday, 4-7-01]
They are eternally grateful to Sam Varshavchik for brightening our life with this tale.
