"Girls"

I find it fascinating that watching on the SMH ipad app, there was an article and video on a new TV show that stated the following : "Girls behaving badly Lena Dunham's controversial hit comedy turns the world of Sex and the City on its head. IT'S Sunday afternoon and Lena Dunham is on her way to a deli in Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood. In five hours, the fourth episode of her HBO comedy Girls will air and in eight days she will start shooting season two. ''Wow, some really nice guy waiting for ice-cream just said he loves the show,'' she tells me over the phone. ''I love when it's a man. Whenever I have fans, it's always teenage girls and gay boys, which are my favourite kinds of people in the world. But when a 35-year-old guy is like, 'I like the show', I'm like, 'What? That's amazing!''' Girls, which begins here tonight on Showcase, is an electric, girly, shocking comedy about four affluent twentysomething girls living, (occasionally) working and having unglamorous sex in New York City. Dunham, who conceived, wrote and directs the show, is a 26-year-old New Yorker with messy chestnut hair, a pear-shaped body and a cracking, verbose way of talking that suggests a love child of Woody Allen and Tina Fey. She plays recently graduated Hannah Horvath, a self-declared ''voice of a generation'' and chronic oversharer with literary tattoos and a flaky boyfriend. In the first few episodes she has been cut off from her parents' financial teat, exposed her breasts, been sexually harassed at work and attempted sexual harassment of her own. Meanwhile, one of her best friends has checked in for an abortion, another tries desperately to lose her virginity and another has masturbated in the bathroom during a work party. "

The video was of 2 male critics, one who had long unkept grey hair and physically looked as though he was 95 in the shade,  conversing with another man of about 40,  criticing the TV show which is about 20 something year old women having unglamourous sex. Weird! Weird! Weird!  That alone is evidence that evolution is a theory! If that is what we are evolving to, then the future is not looking too good for us! ;) The TV show "Girls" is just what i want my 7 year daughter to aspie to be,  a confused 25 year old desparately trying to lose her virginity and masturbating in the toilet at a work function...  The really great bit is that 35 year old men are complimenting the show...  That's it men, we older guys love shows about 20 something year old women losing their virginity in unglamourous ways...  Sorry to sound critical, just calling it how i see it!  Or am i the only one not wanting to normise dysfunction?! :) Instead my daughter will have a spirit and beauty and presence of heart to know who she is as a woman and hold tightly her integrity.  The LORD detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity. (Proverbs 11:20 NLT)
