Crazy women and sex-crazed men

Shopgirlove's Mam told her about Craig Ferguson's (yum!) monologue from February 19th . He's decided not to make fun of people like Britney Spears and other celebs for melting down in terribly public and humiliating ways. His point, well-taken, is that these are human beings with families and enough trouble as it is. They are easy targets. Ferguson thinks his talents might be better put to use skewering the powerful and also has some funny things to say about his own journey to sobriety. There's a vicar involved, watch the vid...
All of this has Shopgirlove wondering why wacky women are so fascinating to us. Men on the verge of a nervous break down just don't capture the imagination in the same way. With men, it's sex. Especially sex with crazy women. Except for Michael Jackson where it's crazy sex.
Why the resonance? Do we think all women are nuts and all men are over-sexed? What if these are less gotcha moments than aha moments?
So, o.k., Shopgirlove will take the high road. Like any good twelve-stepper she is speaking only for herself. She realizes that some people can make fun of crazy women and randy men. But not Shopgirlove. From now on the joke's on the Donald .
