Facebook discovers LES Jewels' penis


East Village photographer Steven Hirsch has been adding photos to his Facebook Crustypunks page ... he posted the above shot of LES Jewels (in a more suitable-for-work shot above) doing a pants-down pose on St. Mark's Place at Avenue A ... afterwards, he received a notice from Facebook that they're deleting the page. Then! Facebook deleted Hirsch's personal account and the whole Crustypunks project, which had about 100 photos from the past year.

And here's the email from Facebook...

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm on Facebook's side on this one. I don't need to see this creep's penis.

    Helpful hint: Then don't go to that page.

    And I don't use Facebook, but aren't they "officially" only for people 13 and up? So who are all these "children" using the site. What a load of shit.

    So don't visit his page then, it's not that difficult.

    14 year olds aren't children?

    14 year olds are endangered by a picture of genitals.

    FaceBook is too late....this street scum's penis has already been seen by children on the more than one occasion when Jewels has exposed himself in front of the kids' playground along Avenue A.

    I feel sorry for the latest girl to fall for him -- one can only imagine what nasty virus(es) he will/has expose(d) her to....

    Those poor children will never heal. If only their parents had moved them to the burbs, instead of waiting for the city to become burbified.
