    I’m almost at Abe Simpson’s perfect diatribe.

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what is it is weird, but not yet scary to me.

    I remember being in my late teens and early 20’s and my parents would watch The News™ and how often they’d run stories that were of the pattern “And coming up after the break, Kids These Days™ are having sex by touching their eyeballs together. Why you should be angry and scared.” And the first thing I thought as a Kid Those Days™ was “…no we’re not. I had sex this afternoon and one of the few things we didn’t touch together was our eyes.” And I guess I’m still young enough that that kind of story doesn’t make me click a thumbnail?
