The most selfish mother on Earth


I watched Monkey Grip with appalled horror as alternative dingaling Nora screwed her junkie boyfriend without condoms preAIDS awareness days. (Constantly wondering what the hell would be sexually attractive about a loser who took money from her purse and lived in squalor.)

I ask anyone who reads this comment the question.

If you had an innocent dependent child in your care and you found out your Junkie lover had stolen food money from your household kitty jar and left his used needle on the dining table (thus taking food from your childs mouth as it were) would you throw him/her out of your house forever or go on holiday to Sydney with them?

If you think this character is "the most selfish mother on earth", I suggest you watch Precious (2009).

Don't you love how he was having them hitch hike towards their holiday. And she agreed to this!

That's how bohemians in Australian cities lived (and still do - except maybe now they have protected sex).
