Hot and Ready
if only marriage was like that.
Initially, I thought it was funny. Very funny even, I had to point it out to a few friends. But then the gears in my head started working around that and after I've really marinated on the thought, I realize how I think it's a little unfair.
With all this talk of Prop. 8 and same-sex marriages hanging in the balance, even those where some couples have children, it's really strange to me that anyone can make a joke about marriage (for food advertisement at that). Same-sex couples were turned away around the nation on the 12th when they wished to get their marriage licenses and we hear time and again that marriage is a "holy union" between specifically a man and a woman. Albeit, the divorce rate is at about 50% and billboards for buffalo wings are poking fun at it. It just doesn't seem that holy to me, especially if certain people are being excluded.
it is pretty fucked up, isn't it? I had a similar revelation a few weeks ago when I was signing off of myspace and saw this ad for a site where married people could meet other people to have an affair with- I was like, holy shit, you mean to tell me people who are married and bitching about keeping it sacred are also joining the equivalent of match dot com for adultry? Nice. Psht.
