Um, yeah. Water is wet, too. We used to have real heroes. Now, we have people become famous because of sex tapes...and people wonder why our children are more aggressive / less sensitive / less hard-working. No, not all kids, but there IS a developing trend. Apparently, it's cool to give each other oral sex at 13 these days. I wonder where they get it? It's cool, though...kids being kids and all. Terrible.
