there were plenty of people (including children) that saw him.

i'm not one to shame sex, but public masturbation is lewd & obscene (esp in front of children). what you do in private is one thing, but adults masturbating in front of children will never be cool. the fact that he chose to do this in front of a school yard takes it to a whole-notha-level © mad tv.

i don't know if he would've escalated to possibly approaching a child, but i wasn't willing to take that chance.
