So, this is the first thing that appeared on YouTube...



... when I searched for this song. Interesting, huh?

Men: how do we feel about this? What does this make us think about?

Ummmm, I'm not sure what I was supposed to glean from that.

I feel like the last guy at the table to get a joke, but I'm not sure I have much of a reaction.

Alright, I suppose I owe you an answer to this.

I thought it was interesting on a variety of fronts:

#1 - the efficacy and wisdom of the kind of pro-birth control advocacy espoused by TLC and others (our host's seeming practical social conservatism has always been of interest to me) and..

#2 - the things you find on the Internet these days. The occasion of finding this video was looking for the song "And So I Creep" (I was sort of creeping back on to the Internet after the shootings and the memorial) and THAT is what I wound up with, #1 on YouTube, Earth's dreamwell. And it's 12 or 13 year olds (10?) sexydancin'. I should say these young women toed the line as far as tastefulness and childish joy (one of them was clearly egging the other two on) but it's just bizarre to contemplate, as a man, that primal and taboo cues will dimly coagulate and make you go, "Huh! The human condition!"
