Just a quick moment to share my new favorite quote - from the Qantas stewardess who was fired after having sex with Ralph Fiennes whom she met (and boffed) during a flight she was working:
She says she doesn't feel cheapened by the supposed Fiennes fly-by, asserting, "I am sure he cared about me," before adding, "Then again, he is a very good actor."
Every time I read that, for no good reason, it gets funnier and funnier. As opposed to the whole article which is rather depressing - it is like looking into this woman's horrible internalized point/counterpoint of:
POINT - I own and embrace my sexuality!
v.
COUNTERPOINT - A. Sex is dirty. B. I'm a good girl, I am. C. Therefore if I engaged in a sexual act, it was either (i) Not Just Sex or (ii) It Was Not At All My Fault Or Responsibility.
Depressing because Counterpoint is winning. By a landslide. Point is practically a strawman. Frankly, Point may be something I inserted into the dialog as mere wishful thinking.
