Some things just make me feel dirty. I saw some pictures of the American Idol contestant over the weekend that did, for sure. Who didn't? I thought I might post about that today, but then something happened that made me feel dirtier than an old man hiding in the park bushes.
This.
Hugh Hefner, 80-year-old founder of Playboy, is said to be secretly engaged to girlfriend #1, Holly Madison. I think she's 26.
Do you think he got a tingly feeling when he was 54? Some sort of premonition that his future wife was somewhere in the world... being born? No, that's sick. He probably felt that way when he was 59 and she was finally learning to ride a bike. Or when she was discovering boys and he was 66. Or maybe it was vice versa. Maybe she got her first tingles when she smelled urine-soaked bedsheets in a nursing home. Who wouldn't?
I think we should get a new law going that redefines rape. Like, it's not OK to get with little kids, or teenagers - I get that. They're helpless, they can be overpowered, they don't know what's going on, etc. Doesn't this also sound like a crime against the elderly? Someone stealing Hef's social security? Tolerable. Being raped by a woman one quarter his age? How do we sleep at night, a society that would allow this to happen to that poor old man?
