As guilty pleasures go this one s not bad. We all have our guilty pleasures. It s easy to spot a guilty pleasure because it lives up to its name. If you enjoy it and don t feel bad while fighting the impulse, caving in to the impulse, and beating yourself up afterward, then it just doesn t qualify.
Most guilty pleasures are pretty innocuous.
Some people sneak chocolate, others read Harlequin Romances slipped inside the cover of the Oxford English Dictionary. I watch Change of Heart. This is the syndicated TV show where two couples who have been seeing each other for between three months and a year go out on dates with other people, supposedly to test their relationship though in fact it s to sell more toilet paper. Then they go on national TV where host Chris Jagger smirks and mugs while they and their dates tell about having a big night out on the town while their now rather insignificant feeling other gets defensive, makes rude comments, and wonders how in the hell they ever got talked into this. At the end they each make a decision about whether to stay together or slink into a hole and commit suicide.
