    1) Doesn’t this guy have an internet connection?
    2) Don’t the LAPD have anything better to do than cruise such theaters?

    I’ve always been a fan so it’s really disappointing to hear that Little Willard was watching the movie, too.

    Did he run out of internet porn?

    That’s LA. In San Fran, they would have named a street after him.

    Willard as Buck Laughlin (Best in Show):

    “I don’t think I could ever get used to being poked and prodded like that.
    I told my proctologist one time, “Why don’t you take me out to dinner and a movie sometime?”

    He can get a woody at 78? I’m impressed. As George Burns once said, “Having sex at my age is like playing pool with a rope”.

    Czar D asked:

    “2) Don’t the LAPD have anything better to do than cruise such theaters?”

    Ahem…..I don’t think you understand the nature and purpose of these visits.

    FTA: “We’re told … when theaters like this get their license, they have to allow cops in whenever they want … to inspect.”

    See, that’s what they’re doing. Inspecting. Leaning against the back wall for an hour ‘inspecting’ the screen. For free.

    From Jim Treacher on Facebook:

    Arresting people in porno theaters for masturbating is like arresting people in liquor stores for buying beer. And spraying it all over.

    just one of 3 reviews for Tiki Theatre:

    I have always enjoyed yanking the crank, slapping the baloney and praying to the one eyed Bishop at the Tiki Theater. On lunch breaks during filming of my new series Trust Us With Your Life, I stop in for quick stroke and pop. They have such wonderful films like: Super Sluts 13, Naughty Naughty Nurses and Desperate Housewives XXX. You see, I don’t own a computer or DVD player, they are just too complicated to use, so I stop by the Tiki whenever the urge hits me — and for a guy in his 70′s you’d be surprised! The seats are a bit sticky so I always bring a copy of Girls and Corpses Magazine to sit on. Yeah… good times at the Tiki… until they caught me with my pants down… literally. Next time I’m bringing my pal Pee Wee with me!

    At least it was his own penis in his own hand … unlike our President.

    While this whole thing is creepy (okay – gross), I sorta feel bad for him. Don’t the police there have anything better to do? Sure, but it’s a lot easier and funnier (in a bully sort of way), to bust a somewhat famous 70-something y/o touching himself in the dark.

    And then it immediately is released to the public. I dislike the police over this more than Mr. Willard.

    Don’t the police have better more productive things to do then visit xxx rated theaters looking for wankers. Are we sure that’s why they were there?
