The End Of An Era

Seriously? The End Of An Era? The end of an effing era? That's what the promo for The Girls Next Door is claiming. Apparently Hugh Hefner is kicking out his current stable of three siliconized "girlfriends" and everybody is all weepy. Does anyone actually watch this show? Am I the only one who finds it all just profoundly creepy? Hugh Hefner will soon be 82 years old. These girls are what? In their early 20s? I'm no prude, but good god, that just strikes me as disgustingly freakish. And it's not like these three girls are sharing Hef because they just find him irresistably attractive. It's an obvious "career" ploy and it borders on prostitution. (Isn't that what you call it when you offer sex in exchange for something?) The fact that this show is even on the air should shame every single American. And anyone who watches it, well, there's just no words to describe what you should be feeling.
