What's all this talk about how to identify a Crass Act!  I look in my dictionary
and it slaps me on the wrist and says

   crass: adj. Crude and undiscriminating; coarse  [Latin *crassus*, dense.]

Why anybody wants to go around looking for people who act crass is beyond me.
Look, if you want crassness, why not go for the real thing: not just *acting*
crass, but really living-eating-breathing-stinking crass.  What's the point
in dating actors (or electing them president) if you can get the real thing.
If Crassness is what you want, anyway, might as well go for all the crassness
you can get; not just someone who's faking it so that if you wake them up in the
middle of the night (say, 10am) they forget to be crass.  Get someone whose
crassness is integral to their ipseity!
