Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

First and second

First ... an ad placed in the center of the article (likely to be random for whomever opens the link) was for me -- women's shoes. Charming. Gee, those look great, let me just finish the rest of this article on a "remote practice".


Second:
While surfing the TV, I saw a bit of a show -- then the corner symbol appeared -- "Lifetime", I should have known.
"Well, you're a virgin", her friend condesendingly spoke matter of factly.
"How do you know?"
Her friend beside her rattles off the number of people who know she's a virgin. Okay, here I wonder "how" they know, seconded by, "why".

The girls are roused from their wonderful debate on the one's virginity when her brother called frantically about a clump of clothes in the creek. Oh, boy, a fragment of super muddy shirt, so what? The non-virginal girl pick up the shirt bit and off comes a white partial forearm. It broke from a whole body, lying face-dwon in the creek. Miraculously, it rose like a plank of wood after the tug. In an earlier scene, the virginal girl was going to go up the creepy attic, when two hands surprised and grabbed her waist pulling up the shirt slightly exposing her panties. The guy was her dad. Man ... that's just bad, sick directing and writing. It appears is was for visual, not incestual implications.

A virgin ... a murderer ... likely rapist ... a younger brother ... let me guesss.

The "appearing 14-16 year old" must allow herself to be raped to keep her brother safe, then through agony and pain and misery -- a bit of luck, she manages to pull him to safety and walk around physically unaffected minutes after the attack. The murderer rapist has already killed her female friend and has to be killed Jason-style 14 different ways in order for him to be finally done. The end will splash in some environmental issue and an ironic bit that makes sense only if you saw the first ten minutes of the movie.

Yeah ... I have seen a few Lifetime shows. I onced watched one without the ex ... it was as crappy and predictable as the rest, placing blame on the victim, making the woman audience both angry with men, and justified when she feel persecuted and she later brings misery on herself. I hate that!
