I remember watching the truncated first season of "Entourage" and being amused. Then I realized it was just the male version of "Sex and the City" and stopped watching. They were both shows about seemingly hip but vapid urbanites with questionable values that mythologized their self-involved lives.

It feels like everything "analog" comes back eventually. ;)

Sadly, many people only develop empathy when something bad happens to them. Or they turn out to suffer the way they thought only the "bad people" would. It's twisted.
