A New Low

What is this world coming to? Is nothing sacred? It is with mild shock that I received the news that Susan Boyle was offered $1 million dollars to do a porno in which she loses her virginity. That’s right, somebody out there thinks that we want to see this frumpy 47 year-old woman who recently caught our attention because she can carry a tune (definitely not superstar material in my opinion) get naked and do the deed. Not me, not in this lifetime! What’s even more laughable is that the production company actually stated that “doing it in front of bright lights and cameras…will make it that much more special.” I can’t imagine how they reasoned that one out! Clearly these people are trying to take advantage of this simple woman and trying to capitalize on her 15 minutes. And they’re trying to make the rest of us as culpable as they are by having fans choose the title if Susan accepts. Give me a break! The only way that I can think of that they could get any lower is if they'd made a similar offer to a developmentally-challenged teenage or adolescent girl.
