I go back to Lou's point:
The drumbeat to be thin, wealthy, and beautiful is constant in our society and anyone who pursues these is seen as worthy of being emulated.

About 7-8 years ago I recall a bunch of friends playing a silly game on their PDAs where the object was to become the most successful drug dealer you could. It was basically "Lemonade Stand" on steroids, but for some reason enjoyed a brief period

Oops, I guess you have. I played quite a bit in the '90s, and the people I was involved with were college-educated urban hipsters, for the most part. The best dungeon-master I ever played with was an ex-Marine communist who eventually went to C

You've never played D&D, have you?

The game's designer is Nicolas, not Nicole. A woman would never exploit young girls like this. (snort.)
