Late to the party and stating the obvious (My Forte)

We've all turned into our parents.

"What's the matter with kids today..."

Marketing is about the world as it is. Not the world as one might want it to be.

What the Pussycat Dolls do to sell their product makes perfectly good sense if it works.

Would I emulate the Dolls if I thought it would garner the same financial rewards they get? In a heartbeat. Actually I'd dress scantily and wiggle and make a complete fool of myself for half what they make.

Sexual posturing is DNA talking.

In the old days when humans became capable of breeding, they went out and bred. They started as soon as possible because time was short.

The idea that we're going to change human mating behavior by talking about it for a couple of generations is fairly optimistic.
