But given her history of “embellishing” for narrative effect, I assume the odds are better than half Dunham made up the trans quote.

She’s the girl at the party who goes around saying, “That joke wasn’t funny,” any time she hears an off-color joke. How she’s managed to go this long without getting smacked and dressed down is beyond me.

The attention-seeking class clowns were annoying, crashing bores but appeared to me, (then), less objectionable than the pot smokers and truants who were punished less severely.

Life has since taught me why: our teachers knew that the attention-seeking/ narcissism strain never exists in a vacuum. It is the basis of all the rest of the anti-social pathology spectrum: dishonesty, arrogance,intolerance, cupidity, etc.

Such people as the vulgar Dunham woman are, in their own minds, the sun around whom the rest of us orbit “and attention must be paid”.

How little must one think of others to imagine, even for a second, that squatting on a toilet while stuffing cake into your gob would be fascinating to others. What a warped world view.

I have to say though, Expat, while I am with you on the thrust of your comment – I must rise to defend Mama June of “Honey Boo Boo” fame. I watched a couple of episodes in the first season and thought that while her dietary choices were a tad bizarre, her basic values were quite sound. She seemed to me to at least be trying to instill some discipline in her children and they seemed to be quite well behaved and respectful of her and others for the most part.

Sean: I understand. But given her history of “embellishing” for narrative effect, I assume the odds are better than half Dunham made up the trans quote.

My hope is that some day the mass of ordinary American humanity will become so disgusted with these celebrity scolds, these superior persons who hector us on so many levels, that they will punish them in the most severe manner possible; i.e., ignore them when they work, ignore them when they speak, ignore them in every way. Never happen, of course.

Within five minutes I saw a bedroom scene closely cropped by the half-open door showing a str*p-on slipping out of a guy’s bottom.

And that is enough of that, I thought to myself.
