"Crossing the street without getting pregnant was a chore in Sicily."

Because of the recent death of Estelle Getty I decided to watch a few episodes of The Golden Girls. I ended up being a little shocked. It's like a strange mixture of proper American preaching of Political Correctness while being really caustic. Dealing with issues such as teen pregnancy, abuse, death etcetera. At the same time I've never seen an episode of anything (seriously) where they use slut more times than in this. There's like a minimum of 5 sluts per episode, and most of them are said by Sophia (Estelle Getty's character). There's something rather fascinating with watching an "80 year old" put people down and call them slut all over the place.

So this week in order to celebrate the word slut and honour the memory of Estelle Getty.
