Alexander Keith's commercials done!

Alexander Keith's is pulling all their commercials staring the kilt wearer!

The reason, the actor has been arrested for possesion of child pornography http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/n...7e01818&k=6668

Too bad, I loved those commercials. However I hope that if he is found guilty he frys.

The article is quite graphic, so I will let you read it for yourself, rather than posting it here.

That sucks. If he's guilty I hope the lock him up and throw away the key. It's a dispicable crime.

That is really sad and disgusting. If he is in fact guilty, he should never be able to walk the streets a free man.

C'mon, this is Canada. If he is in fact guilty, he'll likely get a year of house arrest or a similarly lame sentence. Its not his fault, after all, its society's.

:rolleyes:

I tend to be of the forgiving kind, but when a crime involves a child (even indirectly) I say THROW THE BOOK AT HIM! If he truly was interested in pictures of children being abused sexually then he deserves every amount of punishment that can be thrown his way.

Too bad that he had to be wearing a kilt in a commercial.

I can't fault the character. I really hope Keith's finds a replacement. The commercials are funny and entertaining.

I blame the moral disgust of the actor as a person. Just because the actor (or sports player) is a lowlife doesn't mean the roles they played are bad.

Throwing the book at this guy won't do it. After he is a father of two small kids. As a parent I don't get how anyone with kids of their own could do that. Let's leave him in a room with parents of children whose kids were abused. If he walks out alive than he can go to general population in prison for many, many years.

I don't know about Canada, but in the US he'd be lucky to survive a week in the general prison population

just a word of caution, has the actor been charged?
Of course IF he is guilty there has to be strong actions taken, but we should be careful not to judge someone unless there is actual evidence

He has been charged with two counts of possessing child pornography and one count of making child pornography available.

You've got that right. One of my Southern cousins' wives worked in administration at the prison where the infamous Susan Smith was incarcerated and she told us that within days of arriving, her fellow prison inmates would mimic the sounds of children crying at night as she tried to sleep to haunt her with what she did.
