Two Hundred and Thirty Four

Justin is besotted with a Polish lingerie model whose exercise videos he’s found on YouTube.  He babbles about her constantly—not like a teenaged boy in the throes of his first crush, but like an actor on a television sitcom playing a teenaged boy in the throes of his first crush.  I can't imagine a real boy talking the way he does, much less a middle-aged man.  

Justin is an arrested adolescent, as most Americans are, even though he's British.  He apparently knows nothing about women, and probably fears he may be homosexual, as most adolescent boys and American men do.  I tell myself I'd feel sorry for him if he weren't such a racist bigot, but the truth is I do feel sorry for him.  I wish I didn't.
