How dirty old guys refuse to behave...like we expect
The past always seams better than it really was, looking back. We remember the sunny days of summer, and forget it was actually one weekend of 30 degrees Celsius in a summer full of rain. Life seemed simpler, and people had clearly defined roles in live.You had communists, and they were bad and scary. And there was us, and we were the Good and Righteous.Then the Berlin wall fell, and Russia was no longer so scary. But we established new enemies in other continents, and found again countries that were so (Axis of) Evil, that we were still the Good and Righteous.
The same comforting mechanism was applied to sinners and saints. You had the good folks (the Good and Righteous ), and the guys who were printing dirty magazines, and they were bad.
And then Hustler's Larry Flint and Palyboy's Hugh Hefner decided to give everybody a real shock. First Larry was buying the nude photo's of a US female soldier, who was abducted and heroically saved by her troop in the Gulf War. Of course he would, the dirty old man. Unfortunately, he decided to buy them cause he did not want them to be published, since he reckoned it wasn’t decent to do that to a War hero. Talk about screwing with the publics perceptions of somebody.
And then Hef decided, he’d show the world how to be a player in het 'Girls from playboy Mansion'show. The man is almost 80, and lives with three girlfriends in the same house. He sleeps with all of them. And they all live happily together. Of course, if you have the reputation of Hef, and the money, and the Playboy mansion, there will always be loads of girls who will be happy to live under your roof, drive your sports cars and go to parties with you. But one would expect from most guys who live like that, that they treat the girls like expendable user objects. Hugh doesn’t, at least not on camera. In every scene he treats his girls like he is honoured that they keep him company. Of course this is a case of 'iron fist in a velvet glove’, cause everybody knows he can replace them in a second, should he choos to do so. So he never has to remind anybody of this. And they never behave in a way, that he has this desire. Clearly, the world missed a great chance last week. When voting for a new head of the UN, they should have asked Hef. Ask any married man, for a person who can get three girlfriends living under the same roof to behave, bringing peace to the Middle East is a piece of cake.
