Disgrace is a highly under-rated state of affairs.   Take Senator Al Franken for instance.  Accused of sexual harassment, he has announced that he will resign from office and remain an activist for social justice.  I have nothing against the dude, he didn't harass me, and his politics are in no way bothersome.  The part  about continuing forward as an activist is mildly annoying.   Why bother, at this point?   Who is he going to advocate for?  Maybe the public will be less responsive to a person who has been exposed as some type of offender.

I propose that people like Matt Lauer and Al Franken change tack.  They may be needing some sort of lucrative enterprise in the future, should they be sued or otherwise impecuned by their victims.  My suggestion is they all form a hospitality business, maybe geared toward the college spring break circuit, such as the one in Daytona Beach.   Drunk, giddy co-oeds could line for the opportunity to get pinched on the ass by a famous lecher.  Media groupies could flock for a chance to do the nasty with a famous, if currently reviled, celebrity.  At this point there's no further point in pretending to have morals above and beyond the ordinary.   A disgraced celebrity is fortunate for the chance to let it all hang out, and get all the hot youth culture action an old news man like Charlie Rose needs to stay whole and happy.

By my reckoning, people may be lucky to be relieved of moral restraint.   Too much of it, and you get closet creeps like the ones we are all hearing about in the news.  This post is a gag, I don't mean a word of this shit I'm writing, but I do think the public should make an effort to close out of consciousness the private lives of media personalities.   They're assholes.  Their sexual behavior is between them and whomever else is effected by it.
