Hugh Hefner and vanity

The World Wide Web is buzzing with news of Hugh Hefner presenting his 24-year-old girlfriend, Crystal Harris, with an engagement ring on Christmas Eve. Normally news of a holiday engagement would fill me with fuzzy feelings of cliche-ridden envy, but with Hefner's age peaking years ago and, at 84, on a free-fall towards earning him 72 virgins and a one-way ticket to hell ... all I think is why? What's the point?
Yes ... as her wikipage notes, she is blonde, 34-25-35, 5'6", 124 pounds, D-cup (yes I got this all from wikipedia) which equals American men panting vigorously from closed bathroom doors, but that's not what I thought of when I saw the announcement on yahoo.com's homepage (which, as their big news of the day, makes me sad).
Hugh Hefner is 84. He can claim this young, hot blonde as his (grunt grunt), but dude, you're old as shit. Come on. I could go on and on about this girl wanting you for your money and fame (After beginning dating him, the struggling musician signed a recording contract ... shocker!), but the relationship and engagement is embarassing. Instead of it being seen as a reason for men and some women across the globe to be envious, I find it sad. Very sad.
You have a lot of money and fame, so you can get stereotypically hot women. So what? You look like an idiot, a creepy idiot. I'm not putting down anyone who dates older people. From five years older to even 25 years older ... it's done all the time and isn't that big of a deal. But when you're 84 and past your prime, when you're probably more concerned with buying the right type of Depends or Metamucil or hearing aid, it's time to throw in the towel (not as in it's time to die but it's time to realize you aren't a pussymagnet). When you are that old and known for not being able to "perform," what's the point? You can't do anything with her, she's just arm candy.
I guess some may say since he is the mogul of Playboy, he must have a Playgirl by his side. How about one that's like 40 or 50? That would make more sense. Seeing a picture of Hefner with that blonde bimbo makes my stomach uneasy. Your mind quickly goes to A. he's in it because he thinks she's very hot. B. He think she's hot so he's sexually attracted to her. C. He is going to have some sort of sexual relation with her. D. An image of him naked. Gross.
