FILE - In this Feb. 6, 1998 file photo, Mary Kay LeTourneau listens to testimony during her court hearing.

 Mary Kay Letourneau a formerly married teacher who became infamous for having an affair with a sixth-grader is hosting a party with the former student, who's now her husband. And get this, their party is being called Hot for Teacher night. Hah, hah, snicker, snicker.

What I want to know is, would there be as many laughs if it had the teacher had been male and the student female? The guy would have been labeled a pedophile and a child molester and shunned. He wouldn't be standing in a club glad handing partygoers when they show up.  Granted, the couple is legally married now and their teacher-student relationship took place years ago, but what's that bar owner thinking?  This is celebrating child molesting - hah, hah, wink, wink. This will be the third time they've done it. Hah, hah, whoa buddy!

Granted, Letourneau served her prison time. She and her new husband are the parents of two children from this union. Maybe they're hosting the Hot for Teacher nights to make a little extra cash. I'm sensing some serious mental issues must be at play.... What do you think? Should folks in Seattle just let the past be the past and pay up at the door, or should they shun the party because of the ick factor?

    I always wonder what the deal is when you have a 15yo boy dating a 13yo girl. Then one day he's 18 and she's 16. Now he goes to jail?

    Mary Kay is nothing more than a self-centered idiot. She didn't seem to mind hurting her former husband and her children to have an affair with a boy. Had it been a man doing the same thing he wouldn't have dared to show his face in public after the news broke, let alone exploit it for a few bucks.
