Has the whole world gone crazy?

While waiting in line to purchase a bottle of water at the newsstand in the Las Vegas airport, my eyes fell upon the various magazines that line the front of the registers.

One sensational headline caught my attention: “How to steal your best friend’s girlfriend!”

What kind of world are we living in where we're actively encouraging one another to minimize any importance friendship might have?
