Ronald William Brown of Largo, Florida, the 57-year-old proprietor of Puppets Plus, has been charged with the possession of child pornography and of conspiring with another man to kidnap and then eat a child.
The Christian Television Network kids program Joy Junction regularly featured Brown and his ventriloquist dummy Marty, who would warn about things like pornography.
Brown, an active member of the Gulf Coast Church in Largo, and an accomplice, Michael Arnett, were planning to abduct a specific child who was a member of the church and who took part in Browns Puppet Ministry Kidz Zone youth ministry program.
Homeland Security agents who searched Browns home and tool shed yesterday discovered images of bound and gagged kids, photographs of dead children and a flier for a missing child.
Sorry, but crazy ventrioloquists in general are an overplayed stereotype. For that matter, once you count the "Homeland Security search" angle, this whole story exceeds the maximum number of memes permitted per post. Sorry, mods.
