Sanctity of Marriage? Kardashian Calls it Quits After 72 Days

He can do better. She's got a "brand?" Gahhhh.
This post has nothing to do with any respect I might have for the Kardashian family, or any of the several dozen ridiculous reality shows they have. The only reasons this story registers on my radar, are a) because the scale of the wedding was on par with the British Royal Wedding of Prince William; and b) that this highly public "sanctified" union was rubbish before a typical 90-day probationary period would be over.

Often, when it regards marriage equality (same-sex or gay marriage), we are told that marriage is not a civil right. It is a holy, sanctified privilege. This is of course, far from the truth. The truth is that any two opposite-sex, unrelated, of-age people can get married. They need not be in love. They need not be able to procreate. They can be criminals, they can be insane. They don't even have to know each other. In fact, I could put an ad on Craig's list for a insta-bride, and I--a gay man--could marry whoever showed up, tomorrow. But I can't marry* my partner of almost 14 years? You know what? I'll bet this Kardashian chick gets married again before I can legally do so in Las Vegas. Sin City!

Also: The fact that this chick has a "brand," and a following is a sad note on today's young people.

* I'm actually now married to my husband for over three of those years, in Palm Springs. I'm part of  one of those "still valid, but only in some states" marriages.

  1. Monkey in waiting... I will sanctify Dear Editor's marriage (hopefully) as soon as Nevada emerges from the dark ages.

    Kardashian's porn star rise to fame still has me baffled. Anyone who watched five minutes of her reality TV, casting couch video (read: sex tape with lesser than rap star) can see that she is not only a fucking useless slut, but a coke whore useless fucking slut to to top it off.

    Anyone who knows anything about doing coke can take note... The last time I saw that much 'jaw grinding' was at the orthodontist.

    I am sure Bruce "Plastic Face" Jenner must be oh so proud. Must be great for a father to see his coke whore, porn star, celebutante daughter make such a name for herself... Sucking cock & doing blow. That is if he can see out of his plasticized eyes.

    America is ridiculous.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid fucking monkeys,
