Wasn't that one more tongue in cheek? (Oingo boingo I mean)
Maybe I am too young to have properly understood some context or something, but uh... no, naw, on finding the music video for that as an early teen, on early youtube...
No no no, it very much just screams 'Sent Chris Hansen to the film studio for this ASAP'.
Like, I'm fairly sure a whole lot of very early uses of pedobear, on 4chan, involved people using it as reactions to people posting that music video.
According to Wikipedia, "the song was written as satire"
So I know that's only someone else's opinion, but at least I'm not alone in thinking that.
