I don't want to beat my own drum but, at last, I've found a serious article which picks up on my thoughts about Britney's marriage. I was interested to read that, " For the first thousand years of Christianity, the church didn't want anything to do with marriage, which was about property, not spirituality".

Britney's little leap is a reminder that a marriage doesn't have to be sacred to be legal. The law is no holier than a $40 trip at the Tunnel of Vows Drive Through in the Little White Wedding Chapel [Source]

Interestingly, maybe the article does actually get to say that Britney's little weekend joke does harm marriage in a way no gay man has ever done!
