I am amazed that people are calling Elton John a pedophile on the basis of buying the work of a well-known photographer and donating it to a museum. I won't even begin to guess at the hidden agendas at work responsible for the "investigation" in the UK, but I'm willing to bet that a single charge will never be laid.

Never mind that I find the photo charming and playful and NOT AT ALL SEXUAL. God, what is the world coming to that people see sex in that photo? Just look at the expressions on their faces, and their eyes. They tell you all you need to know. One of them is wearing underpants for heaven's sakes! To me, it shows the joy and curiousity and exploration of childhood, nothing more.

I find it disturbing, and very, very sad that some people would have EJ hung, drawn and quartered on the basis of a one photo that he likely had little to do with. The man collects literally millions of things, is a shopaholic, and probably had an assistant pick the photo and send it. But hey, let's call him a pedophile and smear his reputation because we need to make someone pay for our fear of sex and sexuality.

If that pic showed those kids with guns pointing at each other's heads, there would be nary a peep out of the people calling for Elton's hide right now.
