It helps to know that. But there was something very tragic about that dude (dwarf). I'm not sure how much was acting.

So, would you say that HS is anything like Andy Kaufman (sp?)? And the women vying for breast implants? Is that all fake? Even if it is, young people don't get the joke, either. It's a horrible example for them, imo. When I was preadolescent, I saw my first Playboy Mag. I was in shock over the photos. My natural modesty was violated. I later found out that my dad had lots of Playboys hidden in his dresser. (Kids will snoop sometimes). I attribute contact with porn in our culture as a means of desensitizing our youth in regard to appropriate sexual boundaries. I, for one, was deeply affected by it in my late teen years to early twenties. And where did I end up? As everyone knows, in a cult that eventually delighted in tearing down sexual boundaries.

I get the joke, if you will, of pro-wrestlers but there's something about HS's "E" show that doesn't quite fit into that category for me. It's just too sleazy; even IF all the people are in on the joke.
