I'm sure he meant no harm either
But it isn't 'clever'
Fine , bring up a list of song titles if someone is arrested for looking at
pictures of a big fat 50 year old with a selection of fruit and vegetables .
Great that'd be hilarious

But the problem isn't about Townshend , or whether he was arrested , or even
if he's guilty or not . Once people start making jokes about it , it
devalues the seriousness of the subject .
And the underlying subject matter here is the abuse of children .

Full stop !
It is NOT FUNNY !
And it certainly isn't clever .

I would have expected more on this list .
