  Of course they done the right thing pulling the ad. A child molester is a child molester. Regardless if they are famous they should be shunned for what they have done, that includes not using their material. With child abusers no good they've done can shine through that darkness they perpatrate, in my opinion. I believe we need to take a strong stance on all aspects of this issues.

  Honestly, don't like the song. If a carpenter molests a child should no one ever live in a house he built? I agree with the concept but don't think its very practical!

  I think the song has too much of a sexual meaning . It just does'nt seem right for the ad. I get the point but ,yeck! I also don't want it to benefit that b------ in any way.

  It kind of creeps me out knowing that Gary Glitter wrote that song. Eeeew! I didn't realize he had written it so I didn't originally find the ad offensive. However, if Gary Glitter gets royalties from it, I think it was good that they pulled it. Who wants to give more money to a pedophile? Yuck.

  So you just polished off a bag of Funions and you want to change songs. You use that greasy finger on the screen to scroll down to locate and play the song. Song plays and you have big greasy streak on your fancy new Touch pc. Then imagine all the other people at work (especially idiots) who walk up and start touching the screen after they have had their fingers who knows where. Smudges galore.

  I don't think there is anything wrong with the song. Like many other comments, I agree that we shouldn't turn away from something just because it came from a molester. Using whiteoakmiracle's example, we'd have to stop sending our kids to school, and don't forget all the molesters you hear and read about in our churches! I completely agree with pulling the ad simply because it puts money in the dirtbag's pockets. With that kind of money, he can live like a king in a third world country. If/when he gets caught again I would bet that country may not be as forgiving and will deal with him very harshly.

  I think they did the right thing for pulling the ad because if they didn't it would be a even bigger issue. I don't think HP meant to offend anyone and didn't put the two together because who wants to lose money???
