Mr. Nice Guy.

Back in high school, every girl seemed to have it bad for Jake, the heart-throb in Sixteen Candles. But re-watching the film as an adult, a couple things jump out at me:

1) Jake's interest in Molly Ringwald's character seems to spike significantly after he intercepts that note that says she wants to "do it" with him. An easy score lined up in the cross-hairs? Why the fuck not?

2) After the mad-ass party at his house, he explains to Farmer Ted that his girlfriend is passed out upstairs and that he could "violate her a hundred different ways if I wanted to." Although I think he meant it in a sweet way.

3) After he packs said passed-out girlfriend into his dad's car, he sends her off with a wink and suggestion of "have fun" to Farmer Ted... which everyone recognizes as secret code for "she's out cold, dude. By all means, touch her boobs!"

Yup, this is the guy you'd want escorting you to cousin Clem's Bar Mitzvah. Fo sho.
