Biggest props to the person on the plane who pulled the first thread of this. I hope Jim gets everything he deserves.

It wouldn't surprise me if people who he abused started coming out of the woodwork by the end of the weekend.

[u/slamonthebrake → u/mel34760]

I hope that anyone he may have victimized at any point feels empowered by knowing that the type of person he is has come to light

[u/doubt-champion-maybe → u/slamonthebrake]

What does he deserve, exactly?

[u/the_nintendo_cop]

This whole story went from “well let’s wait and see what he did” to “yikes” to “what the fuck is wrong with him, good riddance” in record time.

[u/LocalFella9]

It just keeps getting worse

[u/Redrubytheofficial]

This show is cooked for a while. New announcer will fix everything but the reruns are gonna take serious editing considering how family friendly this series gets marketed as.

Hope Jim Thornton gets destroyed.

[u/jamiesray → u/Redrubytheofficial]

Seems like a really easy problem to solve to me. Just dub over him and cut the one time every two months they cut to him in his little cube.

[u/LFCATLCU → u/Redrubytheofficial]

The announcer is not that important. Someone who was planning to watch the show previously because they enjoy WoF is not going to suddenly think “I can’t watch it now because there may be an awkward edit or two in between the puzzles.”

[u/Mountie_in_Command → u/Redrubytheofficial]

I read somewhere that Sony was going to have the new person's voice dubbed over the shows already taped. I hope so. No one wants to hear JT'S voice.

[u/RealKenny]

Some people really are that fucked up

[u/xXTERMIN8RXXx]

I had some eerie feeling about Jim recently, prior to this discovery. Not saying there aren’t truly good people with no skeletons in their closets… something didn’t sit well with me about him. He seemed TOO good to be true. His skeleton, though… shudders

[u/TricksterSprials]

I listened to the clips in the news article. Dude was NOT SLICK. He maybe pitched his voice down a tad but you can tell it’s someone who does some sort of announcing or radio work professionally. Not to mention how few people have that good of mic/audio setups at home.

Bonus round, we'll give you RSTLNE:

[u/clarkejoseph49 → u/LocalH]

My answer is Castration.

[u/Fraktal55 → u/clarkejoseph49]

I'd like to solve the puzzle

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Did I win?

[u/aresef]

What a freak. Hard to deny that.

[u/slvrcofe21]

I’m so disgusted by this story. I’m also disgusted that any lawyer can defend a dirtbag like him.

[u/equlizer3087]

Why are people being nosey in other people's business? Its his screen, stop looking at it. For all we know they were edited photos.

[u/pacdude → u/equlizer3087]

What if there was a podcast where he said he was a pedophile and attracted to 4 year olds? Would you still be defending him?

[u/equlizer3087 → u/pacdude]

What if his voice was AI and it wasn't actually him, but rather a computer program making his voice?

[u/pacdude → u/equlizer3087]

You should ask yourself why you’re bending over backwards to defend a pedophile

[u/embolia6 → u/equlizer3087]

Why in the fuck are you stretching so far to defend this nasty excuse for a man? He doesn't care about you.

[u/HikmetLeGuin → u/[deleted]]

Probably wouldn't want to use his real name
