"Dating is difficult. In fact, many times it's so uncomfortable that you have to look for creative ways to unwind after an unsuccessful night out."
So begins NBC's synopsis for a new "romantic comedy" expected to premiere in 2011.
In "Friends With Benefits," "Ben, Sara, Hoon, Aaron and Riley are a group of close friends who do just that. After a bad date, they turn to each other for moral (and sometimes physical) support."
The synopsis continues, "Hey, what are friends for?" (preview video follows with commentary):
Set in Chicago, this comedy offers an honest look at the complexity of finding "the one," and the things one must do to survive along the way.
An "honest look at the complexity of finding 'the one,' and the things one must do to survive along the way?"
So friends MUST sleep with one another to survive until they find their soul mate.
Nice message for teenagers and young adults, dontcha think?
Exit question: how did our nation get here, and where on Earth is it heading?
