Granted it may just be a sign of the times, and again I want nothing to do with the desires of the masses to introspect the anus of every personality. If they didn't have so much spare time on their hands due to $223 trillion debt, perhaps they would be busier doing actual work than standing around by the mineral water dispenser or whacking off in their cubicle (the suppliers of the cybersex to office "workers" in the West are right here in the Philippines where I am ... hey you didn't know I was watching you did you).

How did a man hugging his silver become newsworthy enough to be on national TV?

I am remembering all the crazy shenanigans we did as young men that was more newsworthy than that and we didn't even make it into the local newspaper.

Okay I realize nowadays people want to watch Britney Spears brush her teeth, but I thought you Europeans prided yourself on not emulating/importing Boobus Americana (or maybe that is just the French?).

 

Any way, I am damn glad I never returned to the USA after my car died in the middle of the CA desert in 2006 (because I forgot to add oil absent minded as I am) and when I asked for a ride at 3am to nearest service station at the rest stop, the people were literally freaking out and threatening to call the police. The police had to give me that ride. I don't know what happened to USA, but I am happy to be far away from that psychosis. The drug use is really pervasive now in the USA as I hear from my teenagers. And I hear from a Belgium teenager that the youth in Europe are heavy smokers.  (hey drug rights activists please don't get angry at me for not wanting maryjane to be around my teenagers)

Seems like we can't really say anything these days without pissing on someone's politics. Sigh. Any way back to something productive...
