It is in my nature to assume that stuff like this popping up in arts and entertainment is indicative of some deep, dark psychological issues in the minds of the artists. Which is the basis of all great art, to be sure, but the trouble is that it seems to so often beget irritating and/or stupid stuff, as well. When that happens, I always ask "Jesus, why do that have to air this crap out in front of our faces like that? Have they no shame? Have they no sense of pride or decorum?" Then I feel deeply embarrassed for them.

I usually come away from it all with a deep sense of satisfying superiority. I may have my moments of being a whack job, but no one's going to look at a show I produced or pick up a comic book I wrote half a century from now and say "Wow, she was in need of some serious therapy." Not that my feeling is justified, but it feels good anyway.
