RIP Paul Reubens aka Pee wee Herman

[Think McFly Think]

Here's what happened when the world learned of Pee-wee Herman's arrest on this day in 1991

Following Paul Reubens's arrest, CBS pulled the remaining re-runs of "Pee-wee's Playhouse" from its schedule.

www.yahoo.com

The secret word is... arrested. On July 26, 1991, undercover detectives from the Sarasota County Sheriff's department raided the South Trail Cinema — an adult movie theater located in Sarasota, Fla. That evening's lineup included a series of XXX-rated features with titles like Nurse Nancy, Turn Up the Heat and Catalina Five-O Tiger Shark. Infiltrating the theater, the detectives nabbed three men for indecent exposure and then spotted a fourth who was openly masturbating. That last offender was Paul Reubens, better known as the internationally renowned children's entertainer Pee-wee Herman.

According to the arresting officers, nobody realized that Reubens and Herman were one and the same until the actor mentioned that he happened to be the star of CBS's recently concluded Saturday morning series Pee-wee's Playhouse. And that's not all: Reubens reportedly offered to appear in character as Pee-wee for a children's benefit if the department conveniently decided to drop the "Exposure of Sexual Organs" charge, which could have resulted in a year's jail sentence and a $1,000 fine. Not surprisingly, officials declined his offer. Fortunately for Reubens, they also declined to charge him with attempted bribery. News of the arrest subsequently broke on this day 32 years ago.

Yeah but it’s not like it was in a library or cafeteria, I’m sure what was on the screen at the time was far more “offensive” than masturbation.

If you're in a pron theater and you sit directly in front of someone you are doing that for a distinct purpose.

If you are in a pron theater and someone sites behind you they are doing that for a distinct purpose and you need to move.

You're welcome

I remember his underrated, post-scandal, role in Mystery Men.

I love that someone in the TV business saw this and said "Ya know, I bet this guy would be great in a kids show".

That's because you were probably looking at the screen instead of teh men around you. It was a mistake but probably a very common one.
