No, sorry. I wanted to do it. I mean, I really wanted to do it. I'm normally a decent devil's advocate, but I mean fuck. I couldn't do it.
The story opened with this:
Parents sign a legal contract with Tranquility Bay granting 49 per cent custody rights. It permits the Jamaican staff, whose qualifications are not required to exceed a high-school education, to use whatever physical force they feel necessary to control their child.
And I was all set to fly with the rape jokes. We all love rape jokes, right? I was all set to announce loudly and happily that
I in fact had a highschool diploma, thereby emplying my desire to fly to Jamaica and molest teenage girls for a living. I would have laughed, Roody would have cringed, and all would have been right in the world.
But, what I think got to me was the parents. I mean, seriously, that second page is a fucking killer. The Harvard bound student who wound up over there for choosing her boyfriend poorly. The kid who "didn't have a relationship with her mother". So, basically, these kids were incarcerated for not loving their divorced, fuckheaded parents emphatically enough. And then it fucking works. They get the artificial love-child they feel entitled to, and all it took was a complete obliteration of someone's mind and personality. I like to think of myself as a base, slimy creature devoid of any moral compass, but I think I have just seen the precise necessary line to cross to make me physically fucking
ill.
