And so our alternative is...? To ignore this rather quaint sociological phenomenon? To let it pass by, unremarked-upon? Is that how we make increments of improvement to our behavior and culture? What's the take away? What's the lesson here for us? How do we be better people when our opponents are literally caricatures of cartoon villains, who, every week, add another hilarious stereotype to their gestalt.

Remember: you're talking to, and about, the species that is currently exporting a record number of voyeuristic reality shows that sell "engineered awkwardness" because sex doesn't sell by itself anymore.

How do you un-fuck this up?
