How could you cheat on me? I'm Your Grandmother!

Have you ever visited a nursing home to brighten the spirits of the elderly only to find out that one of the people you visited is a friend of your grandparents? How awkward! It wouldn't be a problem if you called or visited your grandparents, but you haven't seen, written, or called them for over a year. Now it just seems mean that you would visit total strangers but ignore your old grandma Eunice and grandpa Joseph. I mean, they're old! All their friends are dying and they can barely walk, the least you could do is call...

Well, if you would like to be more empathetic to the pain a grandparent feels when their grandchildren cheat on them by visiting other elderly people, you might want to watch the Crimson Dance Team's spring performance "CDTV" this weekend. According to the Crimson, the performance includes "an emotionally intense lyrical duet on the theme of cheating on a loved one". Maybe you can invite grandma too. I'm sure she would appreciate the gesture.

“Jakes is also a fat man that no one wants to touch in the private. This is a disadvantage for him in an economy where sexual promiscuity is highly valued and the need to have various partners touch the nether regions provides an invaluable social currency, a social currency that can be exchanged for bigger and better booty and increased access to elite social and professional networks. It is in Jakes' advantage that his profession shields him from some of the demand being touched in the private warrants in similar industries including entertainment and media.”
