I find myself wanting to go rent something mindless and violent as an antidote. I iwll even sit and watch some insipid japanese based cartoon with my ten year old just becaseu I know noone in a frilly dress will be required to bear a tragic burden with a stiff upper lip for at least 30 minutes. Maybe SU is right; having a TV is not a good idea.
If it's real jap anime not only will the character remove the heads of several enemies with his sword but he will also be wearing a frilly dress along with flowing locks of platinum hair!

For my testosterone fix I prefer an Eastwood western or Dirty Harry flic!
