Brooks on hedonism

Interesting op-ed that addresses a topic slightly off the beaten track. I'm a little suspicious of Brooks based on some of his previous op-eds (they are often rather shallow), but it's nonetheless nice to see someone finally saying, "The first lesson in all this is we shouldn't overestimate the importance of the media. People like 50 Cent may produce hit after pornographic hit, but that doesn't mean his fans want to lead the lives he raps about. It's make-believe."
