Michael Jackson Alert!!!!!!!

[thmallville]

*says in high pitched voice* "Maddie you can trust me. Maddie, let's color. Maddie, play with the doggie. Maddie, I know what it's like to have abilities. Maddie, do you like rides? I know a place called Neverland. It's pretty and magical, I promise. You can trust me, Maddie."

UGH! Is it just me, or was Clark acting like a child molester!!?? I mean, he kept looking at her like she was a chocolate bar or something! He wouldn't leave her alone!! And people are all like "Aw, Clark would be such a good father!" He was sp creepy the whole epi, and kept talking to her like she was 2.

And the drawing at the end had me cracking up, it was so corny. And I have a cold so when I laughed, I sounded like a broken lawnmower. And I know that was random but I didn't want to make a thread about it.....

SO did anyone else notice the Michael Jackson-ishness?

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I never thought of that. But it's funny!

[RedKalEL]

well to give the guy credit the girl hasn't talked since she was 3 so he was trying ot get her to talk

[Joelito]

Hahaha, well as the show named "Fragil", no wonder Clark become Clarkel Jackson

lol

[hassenmorad]

I thought he acted appropriately. Like someone else said, she hadn't talked since she was 3.

[Shardz]

clark kent, mild-mannered farmboy or grammy-winning pedophile?

[penguin91]

at first i was like "maddie must be clarks rebound girl"
he was acting child molesterish, but i guess i was one of the few who thought that.

now i can see that clark was just being nice and trying to get her to talk, but when i was seeing it i was like CLARK STOP HITTING ON HER!

[zonofzod]

I thought those scence were appropiate.

1. The girl hasn't talked since she was 3.
2. Clark's only trying to be a mentor, she has special powers, she was special powers.
3. He will soon be Superman, he cares for everyone, especially childern.

Good episode, not the best but solid.

I agree. Clark was in no way pedophilish, though he was dumb enough to leave Maddie with Lois.:rolleyes:

[8SMALLFAN8]

Honestly, I didn't get that vibe...but I must say, when you say it like that, I can see where you are coming from. :lol: I would never think of Clark that way, so I thought he was def appropriate with her in every way an adult can be. Given her powers/his powers, the talking issue with her, I think he did the best a man could do in that situation.

:D

[Watching Smallville]

You know, it's just a shame when we have so much weird news and so many weird people wandering around that simple kindness to a child gives off a child molester vibe. :\ We're all so jaded these days -- unfortunately for good reason. :rolleyes:

[khufu]

That's called transference.

[photogirl]

I thought he acted fine towards her...kind, accepting..he was trying to get her to talk and keep her calm..

I agree.:\

[Poweranimals]

Yeah, one of the reasons why I enjoyed this episode was because of how warm Clark was with Maddie and good with kids, which is a reflection on Superman in general. Clark will make a good father someday.

Lois on the other hand really looked hopeless around her and really kind of annoyed me. It's kind of a shame that Clark has to end up with her.

I agree with you too muffinpeddler, particularly when Clark left her with the "rough and ready" Lois! She is not mother or sister material....just look at her sister's Lucy's "misadventures" in previous seasons.:rolleyes: :eek: :eek:

[margroks]

Clark was genuinely trying to help a scared little girl. It was not in any way shown as what you suggest. And he did a fantastic job of it. TW was great as Clark helping someone and coming from that same scared of what you can do, spot.

haha i agree... i would never had left the kid with lois!! she was already terrified of lois!! never mind being left alone with her! :lol: i dont think that clark was being michael jackson-ish. he was just trying to be nice to her and she loves him for it. when they were talking about who her real father is i thought she was gonna say "clark, can u be my daddy??" :eek: i was like o god. but she didnt pheww :rolleyes: haha he was an awesome father figure though!

[tjpw fanatic]

he was just trying to help her out, he wanted to find out the truth about what happened with naomi and the only way he was going to do that was if he acted like that toward her. now at the one point when he said turn around and close your eyes i have a surprise for you, my mom was like "now if an adult says that run, unless its tom welling:)" but other than that part i just thought he was trying to be a nice guy toward maddie and i thought it was very cute:)

[ferd]

While I truly don't believe Clark stepped over the line to pervert child molester, I do have to say upon the second viewing a few of those lines of dialogue taken out of context are a bit questionable. :eek: :lol: The whole saddling up bit and all made me snicker to myself. But again, I can take anything out of context and make it sick for the sake of humor. :lol:

[tjpw fanatic]

also we have to remember its clark, i mean come on he was raised by Martha and Jonathon Kent. Child Molesters and the Kents just dont go together. i dont think that the writers even thought of it that way because they didnt think we would have

[jimmyolsenblues]

I do not appreciate comments like "Clark acting like a child molester!!" , I understand everyone has their opinions, but please respect others.

[MetroGirl06]

Nah, Clark didnt act like Michael Jackson. Michael likes little boys!

[tjpw fanatic]

:lol: good point metrogirl06, but honestly clark didnt act like a child molester, he acted very nice and was like almost like a big brother to maddie

[loisnlana]

Wow. I can't believe somebody broguht this up.

Clark was being friendly and nurturing to a child in need!!
He wasn't being overly physical with her. He wasn't being overly affectionate!

HE was being nurturing.

It's because he's a guy isn't it? Sexists.

[tjpw fanatic]

hey im right with you loisnlana! i also thought he was being nurturing

[NotTodayPete]

yeah he was being nurturing, if lois had the same lines, maybe the impression would have been different. Is a guy expected to act tough, not care and never cry? he was going the extra mile to help a girl who was orphaned and just saw her foster mom get killed.

[shinedown]

i definately was like "oh he'd make such a good father" and secretly like i wish he was the father of my babies!

[tjpw fanatic]

yes i also said he would make an awesome father! \

Only one with sick minds would think that way. This thread is very unnecessary.

[tjpw fanatic]

Agreed J-Kent!

[svsabbiesv]

I never really thought of that, but that is hilarious...I just think he needed her to trust him, and he seemed to really care about her and getting to know the deal with her the only way how...but I never once thought hi my name is clark im a predator

SO did anyone else notice the Michael Jackson-ishness? You all must have sick minds or something because i didnt notice any of that child molesting crap i mean come on shes a little girl he was just trying to get her to talk so he was trying to be as nice as he could be geez u guys think the weirdest things sometimes and BTW i dont remember clark saying go play with doggie :\

[tjpw fanatic]

he didnt say lets go play with the doggie, maddie went over and started to play with it herself, they are just finding things to make it seem like clark was acting like a child molester, when in fact he was not! your right moe2death, they must have sick minds because who thinks of that?

[jaime,oburg]

As a mom of 2 little girls I can say that as a parent you are more sensitive to any touchy feely that goes on with kids. I thought there was way too much hugging going on . I've already joked about this in other threads.
NOT that I got any pediphile vibe what so ever with Clark (ewh)*my blood just ran cold at the thought*. Rather, when the same characters hug in no less then 3 scenes you get desensitized to the emotion that is suppose to come across. It was just overdone too many times and it lost it's specialness. The same shot just got boring IMHO.:\

[tjpw fanatic]

i thought it was cute! I thought Clark was acting like a big brother to her, i hug my brother all the time, and that's just how i took it. Being a 13 year old girl i am also sensitive to that kind of stuff because there is always that fear of pedifhiles. However I did not think of this episode that way at all!

[moe2death]

i agree with tjpw fanatic even tho people in my family we hardly ever hug and im the youngest one in my family so i dont got a little bro or sister to hug :(

[tjpw fanatic]

yeah I am the youngest too, but my older sister and brother hug me, so i find that the Clark/Maddie hugs were normal. No one said anything when Clark hugged Ryan in the episode Ryan! there was no OMG pedophile!!!! so I'm not really sure what these people are talking about

[clarksmuse]

Wow, this thread is for real? We are a jaded society.... :( We saw in Clark last night a perfect example of the role model he's going to become through Superman: kind, caring, gentle, trusting, and not willing to give up on someone. Clark embodies all of these characteristics when dealing with Maddie. While I question his decision to leave her with Lois, what went through my mind during those scenes were those "father/son" talks Clark and Jonathan had in the earlier seasons. Clark WILL make an excellent father someday... you saw that notion in Martha's face!

[tjpw fanatic]

*claps* brilliant/perfect post clarksmuse!! thank you for also thinking that way:)

How could I not think that way? :D

[tjpw fanatic]

im not sure clarksmuse:D

[justsuper]

He was like a big brother hugging his little sister - in no way inappropriate or too much. Boy, I wish I had a big brother like Clark!

[tjpw fanatic]

same here justsuper!

[Coyote]

I didn't get the impression that Clark was doing anything wrong at all. He was trying to be nice to a little kid that needed help. What was he supposed to do? Act mean to her?

[tjpw fanatic]

yay! good here comes all the people who agree with me! thank god!

[moe2death]

yeah thats what i was trying to make a point dont pay any attention to all the sickos on the first page of this thread and yep im glad someone agrees with me too

[tjpw fanatic]

:)

[moe2death]

;D

[afro_maestro]

ya Lois pissed me off with her treatment of the girl. But Clark did good and didn't come off as a child molester...which for the record Michael Jackson is NOT.

How would u like to have ur child-years taken from u and u being in a studio while ur friends are having water-fights? and then getting criticzed by the world when u wanna make up for it in the single, queerest and creepiest way possible???

[jaime,oburg]

Most posts are just taking a jab at all the gratutious hugging that went on. Not to be taken so seriously. Just goofing, threads like this start all the time. Go with it and have fun! Most fans understand what a big snuggley bear the BDA is. Mattie was a pretty lucky girl IMO.
I'm jealous actually.;)

[tjpw fanatic]

yes im very jealous of maddie lol, she got to hug him what 4 times? luckiest little girl in the world

[NotTodayPete]

didn't they only hug at the end? the only questionable comment for me was when clark said "we can go horseriding, just you and me" though I know he was getting her to feel like she could open up around him and not worry about any other people invading her space.

Oh shoot, I said "invading her space" watch these posters read into that one.

[tjpw fanatic]

i thought they hugged more than that? maybe i am mistaken. i even thought the horseriding comment was fine, but maybe thats just me. I just dont see that whole pedophile clark kent thing. Personally I dont even think those two words belong in the same sentence

[Batman_Beyonder]

*sings to billy jean song*

Maddie Gene, not my lover...Shes just a girl who claims that I knocked her up... BUT the kid, needs to shut up...*cha moan Clark!*

[afro_maestro]

lol not bad. don't 4get to "hee-hee-heee"

You're a moron!
Shut your mouth!
He was trying to help a little girl who just went through a hell of a lot. It's just a tv show. And Clark's character is genuinly good, so what's your problem?

Is it that maybe you like little boys and girls? Give me a break!

*claps* thank you! you said that perfectly! just leave the guy alone already! you people couldnt appreciate a good person if it landed right in front of you

[MBCorp]

I can't believe this thread has went on for three pages. I shudder everytime I see it up at the top of the page again. And here I go just contributing to it.:p

[tjpw fanatic]

I know I've been contributing to it also, but only because i think its the stupidest thing ever that people are actually accusing clark of being a pedophile!

[smallvillerocks45]

What I don't get is how it's a joke. This issue is not funny. At least it isn't to me. When I read the title of the thread, I actually thought people were serious, and that just isn't cool (not if it's meant in a joking manner, because it's a serious offense). Yes, there was a bit of hugging and comforting words, but it wasn't like Clark was trying to "keep" her or do anything to her. He just wanted her to be happy. There is nothing pedophile-ish about that.

[tjpw fanatic]

exactly, you said it smallvillerocks45! and if this is a "joke" its the stupidest one i've ever heard, so just drop it already!

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first read the title of this thread. tjpw fanatic told me about it and I just couldn't believe this has actually been started! Joking or not, pedophila isn't funny. Clark is nothing like that.

[loisnlana]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Sexist.


If Martha or Chloe was in Clark's shoes nobody would be saying this stuff. If Clark (a male) is nurturing to a child, than it's pedophillia. You guys make me sick.

[tjpw fanatic]

exactly how i feel loisnlana!

[moe2death]

Same here cant beleive the idodicy of some people makes me sick!

[thmallville]

Hahahhaa... well after being away for the past 5 days (and forgetting all about this thread), I think it's really funny how I've been called sexist, a moron, a sicko, an idiot, I"ve been told to shut my mouth, I've been told I like little boys and girls, I've been told I think Clark is a pedophile, it's all making me crack up. :D :D :D I think it's hilarious how people take it so seriously when I'm obviously joking around, and call it a serious matter to be joking around with.

If no one got my sarcasm waaaaay back at the first post, I'm sorry. Does anyone here really believe I seriously think Clark was trying to molest her???!! That's disgusting. I was just remarking how he seemed waaaaay too friendly with her, especialy seeing how she was supposed to be 11. I would have no problems with it, not that I have any problems now, if the girl was younger, but you don't talk to a 11 year old like that! I just felt like he was acting as if she was a 5 year old who knew nothing. And the way he kept talking to her with that weird voice and how he was being really really really really really nice to her reminded me of Michael Jackson. That's my 2 cents!

[Smallville is fun]

I totally noticed the child molestor thing. Maybe he was just trying to be friendly...I mean, the girl hasn't talked since she was 3 and Clark also doesn't have a lot of experience with kids. But I was getting a little pedophile vibe....I dunno, I'm glad it wasn't just me lol.

[mansuper]

rediculous. I can't believe this thread is still open.

[tjpw fanatic]

yup i can't believe it either. As I said before even though this is supposedly just a joke, it is the sickest/stupidest one I have ever heard!

[Daphne]

Truth be told, when Clark took her to the barn and told her to close her eyes I looked at my husband and said, "That's just plain creepy! Run little girl!"

I think we can safely say no one really belivieved Clark was trying to be creepy, it was just weird writing.

[Watching Smallville]

I think it wasn't the writing -- it was that Tom was directing his own acting. He just needed to reign it in a little.

[tjpw fanatic]

You people man, give the guy a break. He was just trying to help a little girl who hadn't talked since she was like 3 out! So I'm sorry if he was being friendly to her. What did you want him to do, leave her out in the cold?

[Watching Smallville]

It's very hard to direct yourself. Even veteran actors have a hard time doing it -- as they themselves have said. I'm just saying, that may be why people thought it was overplayed. I had no problem with it, personally.

Agree! Not everyone that is nice to kids is a perv! It's a sad day when showing interest in a child's welfare and being loving to them is a sign of perversion! I think he did exactly what was appropriate in this case. She was afraid and Clark understood! More men need to be involved in the lives of children without it being a dirty thing like MJ made it. There were bells and whistles ringing and people ignored the warnings with him. Sure there are sicko's out there but not everyone who loves kids is one!

[Lambshank]

I was honestly waiting for Clark to trick out the truck like an Ice cream van and take slow drives round the town.
