A direct quote from Sunday's rerun of "Without A Trace" -

Suspect: "Why am I here?"

Cop 1: "You're here because you like looking at little boys."

Suspect: "What?!"

Cop 2: "Don't play with us. We got a warrant for your apartment. We found your Transformer toys. Not the kind of hobby a grown man has."

I think I heard of this story before. Very ignorant of the writers.

Luckily I'm only 17. I think its probably a joke though, it's impossible to prove otherwise. The Transformers have been going for 20 years, so most of its fans are going to be adult or thereabouts. Plus the new movie and stuff...

Still, good find.

I thought you had to want to have "relations" with little children to be a pedophile. I guess I was wrong!

That is just the dumbest and most biased thing I have ever seen!! its like bashing the whole collecting world!! Don't those writers see that most 20 to 30 year old Men these days are into some kind of collecting?? its a huge business!! there are magazines and conventions devoted to the Hobby!! what a huge piece of crap!! those writers must have been pretty boring children forced to play with sticks and rocks as toys when they were children..

I would not be surprised if their childhood was also very dull and horrible?!!! they probably hate those of us who had a great childhood and remember our fondness of happy times with Transformers, or any other toys that we had in those days!! Collecting transformers isn't just about collecting Toys, its a celebration of childhood happiness and imagination!!! what a bunch of Dorks!!!

They might as well take a shot at trekies or Star Wars fans, what, are Trekies into Ear Fetishes, because of Vulcans?? Or Is star Wars cited for the downfall in Church attendence because of the religion known as the force?? Preposterous!!! What a load of crap, so if you collect transformers then your a pedofile!!! i am completely out raged!! I have a son and Daughter who love the transformers, in many ways it brings me closer to them..

This sort of statement and writing is meant to make us Transfans, feel guilty about collecting and sharing our childhood with our kids?? So now everytime I buy a transformer or transform a toy for my son, I have to feel dirty... like a sexual deviant?? that show and company should be sued by Hasbro!!! its wrong of those writers and company to choose to use transformers as a way to create controvesy about Transformers in their show and obtain ratings due to the popularity of the impending movie!!! What a freaking bunch of sorry individuals!!!

People watch CBS? Personally, I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my hobby. That's why it's MY hobby.

i really could care less what a station that not too many people watch says, like Flux said... im alittle surprised that they would actually say that in a show though

..and im a 20 yr old girl who collects them, i would what CBS would say about that :shock:

by **microclone** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:52 am

most likely a joke, nobody could be that ignorant (well, actually, yes they could).

Hmm, lets see, when i go to target and quickly pop down to the TF/SW section there will be some snotty 5 year old with its mum about 10% of the time, about 20% of the time theres another bloke there also sheepishly eyeing up the TF/SW toys, so its acrtually more likely that TF collector are really into toys so they can forge a bit of adult male 'friendship' in target.

the mob mentality sheesh, let em play golf.

It would bother me if "Without a trace" was actually worth watching.

by **Raymond101** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 8:32 am

We should tell the directors of Without a Trace to look at the box office hits of the Transformers movie this year.

CSI had a nice little Transformers reference a few months ago.

CSI 1 "This memory card is more then meets the eye"
CSI 2 "It's a Transformer?"

Odd look from CSI 1

My dad even laughed at that one, and he wasn't the kind of person to laugh at a joke like that.

The way I see it, it shouldn't matter if the folks at CBS think that TF collectors all want to go have sex with 5 year old boys. We know the truth, and that's all that matters.
Besides, I'm kinda shocked th hear that CBS has shows that aren't spin offs of CSI.

In all fairness, he did say it was a rerun episode. Professor Smooth posted it when it first came out couple months back.

Regardless, it was a rather ignorant thing for them to say. Guess they just wanted to get people talking about their station again. BTW I can't wait for 'BIG BROTHER' this summer, so my TV actually remembers that CBS exists... :-?

Collecting TFs is not the reason I'm a pedophile.

....Wait.

now did david caruso say it?? because that would be priceless. that guy is a no talent ass clown. i can see it.. him in his sunglasses:

"So Transformers huh? In the 'spect's room?"

"Yes, they were.. well, they were all over the place."

"Jesus Christ, we've got a damned pedophile rapist. Look closer, I'm sure there's more than meets the eye when he plays with more than just his toys!"

If someone came to my house with a warrant because of transformers, I would wrap a towl around my head and strap bomb to my ass and claim jihad right then and there.

I'd just say take a look, and also here's basketball shorts, and shoes collection... here's my wife's scrapbooking accessories and collection...

So why are you here? Any real reason? NO. Okay, bye!

Yeah, I remember the same thing being said by an "expert" during the Michael Jackson pedo trial. My mom flipped at me and was like "the expert on TV said grown men with toys are pedophiles!" I countered with "no, grown men with toys have a Peter Pan complex and they never get real doctors on CourtTV." It's the most ingorant thing I had ever heard.

What does David Carusso have to do with anything. The Show where that quote came out in was "Without a Trace". FBIU missing persons Drama.

The CSI show with the other quote, the "This Memory card is more than meets the eye" was from CSI Vegas.

Anyway, yeah its ridiculous that they would say that, but its just the ignorant writers. Although there might be grounds for a Lawsuit. For defamation of all TF collectors.
I'm sure with the US Lawsuit laws, it would totally work.

Your Honor CBS is implying anybody with a TF collection is a Pedophile. we would like compensation for such an outrageous accusation 90 million dollars, and a Position in Habsro's Board of Directors.

David Carusso, is CSI Miami.
