Let's not condemn the guy without evidence, although I admit this video certainly doesn't go in his favour...

Like others have said, things were different back then... Kissing, even on the lips, was essentially a hand shake (and still is in some countries, I listened to a report on the BBC a few months ago about Germans being uncomfortable around their French counterparts because they greet with kisses).

For example, all of my father's siblings (all of whom are age 50+) kiss each other on the lips when they greet each other. It is awkward to my cousins and I, but normal to them.

I was born in 1993 so grew up in this modern untrustworthy world, so yeah, that was pretty creepy. But not going to judge, I don't know how things were back then.

The video isn't creepy as such. Its just our attitudes and perception have changed now.

Good example is the Werther's original advert (the one with the child and his grandpa, and the grandpa gives him a kiss on the forehead), back then it was viewed as "Ooh that's cute". However, years of Pedogeddon in the media (watch Brass Eye if you don't get it :P) meant that the public perception of anything like this shifted rapidly. Thus, kind old grandpa looks like some kind of massive pervert now. The advert hasn't changed, just our view on it.

Yeh, its creepy, but it's by now means terrible. He probably thinks he is being nice and sweet to the kids.

That or he *is* a massive pervert :P

He is indeed a massive pervert and trying to get kisses and hugs from them even tho they clearly dont want to.
Thats why he steals a few kisses from them and they even say NO that they dont want to be kissed.

Its exactly as creepy now that it was then. It was just that people didnt have guts to say anything about it
because he's a celebrity. Thank god thats changed now. People stand up against celebrities and authorities with these things
more now than ever. Good change in my opinion.

If you think that video is okay you are clearly dumb or you're just a pedo yourself trying to justify the actions in the video.

Some people make me sick!
