Re: Sklansky/Brandi stuff . . . Am I just an old fuddy-duddy?

At least for us American posters -- we live in a country where millions will gladly pay .95cents a text message over and over to help try and make someone who has a God-awful singing voice the American Idol because they want to see him win and have a good laugh.
A world where millions are glued to their TV set to see if a California blonde bimbo will get 23 days or 45 days in jail for a misdemeanor and will keep tuning in while she is in jail to see if she ate. We love train wrecks and these near real time reported wrecks are the best.
I think this Brandi chick is great. Everyone who calls her a whore would line up and proudly wear the title of 'john'. She will NEVER run out of guys to wrap around her finger.
Sklanksy has just become embarassing -- something people like to see as well. Not at all for 'mentoring' her (hell, my gf is 20 years younger than me) but for these little posts he is dropping in here to keep the pot stirred. Total lack of class on his part and even if you want to argue traffic and ad revenue, a minimal return for his dignity, I would say.

Second time I have to follow your post with "QFT". Nicely said. I would in no way ever judge DS for having sex with Brandi and even paying for it. I am a fair bit younger than him, but I would certainly have some fun with her - my life leak is a weakness for dirty/trashy girls.

It makes you look bad; because of your stature it makes poker look bad, and it makes me look bad (in a very small way) because I play poker too. Again, I am not a nit - I am all for hookers, kinky sex, etc., but this is just.... sad.
