Last night, I had a dream starring Spencer Pratt, the villain of The Hills. He and I were kicking at my Aunt’s house for Passover—who knew Spencer was Jewish in my subconscious? In reality life, Spencer allegedly spread a rumor that Lauren, another character/ person on The Hills, made a sex tape with her boyfriend. While I had Spencer’s attention in my dream, I asked him the question that’s always bugged me in my waking life: What’s so bad about creating a sex tape? I understand that if the tape were actually released, it would be humiliating and possibly career ending. But just the act of creating one—surely there are more offensive sexual acts. This is a digital age. People film everything. If I were going to start a rumor about Lauren’s sex life, making a sex tape seems a little tame.
While I’m on the gossip sex beat, ABC News released a statement/wrote a story that Miley Cyrus was “embarrassed” by her upcoming photo spread in Vanity Fair. The pictures were too sexy for the Disney teen sensation. And who benefits from Miley Cyrus being accidentally jailbait? And who owns ABC? I’ll give you a hint: Begins with a D and rhymes with Qisney.
Lest you think my id is all trash, in the second part of my dream, Jhumpa Lahiri boarded a plane I was on and the whole cabin cheered for her. JL was also in my dream last week. My subconscious is such a name dropper.
