Look But Don't Touch, or Else

A babe on stage trying to look her sexiest for the judges -- but don't even think about it!

Inappropriate sexual behavior is very big these days. Actually it's been big for years, but now what's even bigger is women (and gay men) reporting ancient, inappropriate sexual behavior they kept quiet about for years and now have chosen to jump on the Sexual Misconduct Bandwagon and ruin the life and/or career of a celebrity by telling all.

The latest to fall is Matt Lauer, who after twenty years as an anchor at NBC News and the face of The Today Show, was immediately fired after a colleague accused him of doing "something" to her "in the workplace." (Yawn.) Let's hope at least she claims he raped her (like Juanita Broaddrick claimed about Bill Clinton and nobody cared) to merit being fired; certainly a pat on the fanny should not be sufficient cause.

I wonder: Can a woman really be traumatized by a man placing his hand on her butt, especially in a crowd of people posing for a group photo? It's hard to believe, especially when so many women willingly strip down to almost nothing and strut around a stage in stiletto heels and bikinis, turning this way and that to afford us all a better look at their precious buttocks in hopes of being named Miss Universe or Mrs. World or Miss America or whatever other dumb title they seek.

Channel surfing the other night I was stopped cold by the sight of a bevy of young women who were 97% naked on a stage in front of a huge audience, proudly displaying bouncy boobs and buttocks barely contained by tiny bikinis, and wondered how this could be. Was the event taking place on another planet? Turns out it was the 2017 Miss Universe pageant being broadcast live from Planet Hollywood (how ironic) in Las Vegas.

My husband, who until then had been busy working on his computer and ignoring me and the TV, immediately perked up and begged me not to change the channel, at least not right away. What a pig he is.
