Wow! Virginia Heffernan: Now Smarter Than Ever!

Why bother writing about Laguna Beach, Hef? This article...it's not even commentary, it's just a general description of the show! And it's in that pseudo-ironic "I watch trash, but I'm so clearly above it" kind of way. You're doing it to hurt me, that must be the only answer. Are the editors of the Times really so desperate? What have things come to?

Why is Virginia Heffernan allowed to get away with this stuff? In her latest enfuriating arti--eh, I don't have the strength...just read the damn thing.
