I think this story sums up the state of our culture in 2010.

Long story short, Octomom faces eviction from the home where she lives with her brood of 14. She's being offered a bailout if she goes to work for Vivid, a big LA-area porn company. Octomom has turned down offers to do porn, but she could take a job as 'Vivid representative,' in which she could remain clothed. Sounds like some kind of deal will be struck.
The closing paragraph speaks volumes about the state of our economy, too:
Before the octuplets were born, Suleman was living off college loans, her children's disability payments and workers' compensation from on-the-job injuries at a state mental hospital in 1999. Since their birth, the disability payments have dried up, but a new income stream was found in selling gossip items and short videos to tabloid media. Minor deals came through as a spokeswoman for a local milkshake vendor and an animal rights group.
