If you, like me, find HBO's Girls as pretentious and boring (this is what happens when the entire cast is staffed due to nepotism and privilege -- plus, the characters, with rare exception, aren't likable!), you'll take Lena Dunham's announcement to "quit acting" as a welcome relief. If you're a fan of the show, well... now's as good a time as any to take your medication. 

According to USA Today, Lena recently sat down with Glamour Magazine for their upcoming cover story on her, and she confessed that she wasn't into acting for the long haul. "I don't know if I'm going to want to act anymore," she said. "I'm always relieved on the days I don't have to. I'd rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts." 

Spoken like a true New York scion of privilege! Maybe she doesn't mean to, but Dunham comes off like a much-put-upon, whiny hipster who doesn't feel as though she has to work. (And, really, when you look at her history -- and the history of her co-stars -- she really doesn't have to.)

And I'm not the only one who feels that way about Ms. Dunham -- no less of an authority than The Los Angeles Times recently took her to task for making a molestation joke on Twitter. The gaffe started when a fan Tweeted to Lena that she "didn't always have to get naked!" Lena replied, "Tell that to my uncle, mister, he's making me!"

(Someone needs to tell Lena about the comedic rules of gallow's humor, and why it's inappropriate to "punch down" when telling jokes...)

Of course, right after she received a fury of backlash for the "joke," she deleted the Tweet and said, "I made, and deleted, a molestation joke. Please forgive me, guys -- I am SO sleepy!" 

I suppose only the "hip" and privileged make jokes about molestation when they're "sleepy." The rest of us commoners just yawn and fall asleep with a cup of Sleepytime tea on our nightstand.
