8:27 Procrastination: TV celebrates Cougars

Just when you thought you saw everything possible on television (A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila anyone?), TV Land Prime comes up with an even more ridiculous reality dating show: The Cougar. Watch twenty guys under 30 (some of them college age) vie for the love of a 40-year-old woman who has children older than some of her dates. Perhaps the TV show may be helpful in dispelling the stigma attached to couples with large age differences. At the very least, we can all learn from the courage of the heroine of the show, Stacy, who proudly declares: I am Cougar, hear me roar.
