1 Judgment, 2 Judgment, 3 Judgment, Floor!

I recently stumbled across a story about an American man who has somehow justified taking not three, but four wives, naturally a reality program has been made about them. I think it's a law in America now that if there's even something slightly weird about you or your family, a reality t.v show will be made about it, usually when you have multiple things, babies, wives, vestigial organs etc.

The ladies man in question is a debonair fellow called Kody Brown;

KB - Who could resist?
Sneaky KB side-stepped the law by only being legally married to one woman while having spiritual unions with the other three. I don't know about you but I feel a menage-a-cinq would get very confusing and probably a little awkward. Apparently the show has been found 'refreshingly frank' with regards to the 'division of labour' and 'food supply' - boring! Quite frankly I'd much prefer to see how the family deals with things such as games night and how they decide which of the 4 wives gets to play that evening's game of Monopoly or Scrabble (obviously enforcing a 4-letter-or-less rule while playing Scrabble as it wouldn't be fair on the wives that didn't make it past Junior School). Not only would juggling multi-player games be a challenge but I wouldn't even what to imagine what meal-time would be like with 13 children.
Obsessively staring at the photos of these ridiculous people, a pattern began to emerge, and it became obvious to me that Kody isn't that stupid after all. Not only has he side-stepped the long arm of the law, he's also side-stepped the age old predicament of not being able to end a relationship once your partner gets too fat and the fear that they'll accidentally eat you along with 3 buckets of chicken, 2 large chips, a large potato and gravy and brownie bites, sets in. Once old KB decides that he's his current wife blocks out too much sun in his yard he doesn't break up with her as any self-respecting man should do, he adds her to his pig pen and heads out to the market to check out the latest matrimonial bargains. 

America's answer to Babushka Dolls
It amazes me that because this man claims polygamy is part of his religion he can still be viewed in a slightly pious light whereas, if an un-religious man decides he wants to have lots of sex with lots of women he get's branded as a sex addict and sent to rehab David Duchovny style. Little KB over here is doing nothing different to what Agent Mulder did except making the silly mistake of marrying pretty much every woman he had been intimate with instead of just taking one hot movie star wife. Not only has he got two dump-truck wives and two sedan sized wives to feed there's also the 13 little smart-car sized grommits to feed. Either this man has some serious brain damage or it's the worst judgment skills that I've seen in a long time (and I recently saw a fairly overweight girl try on and purchase what looked like an XS pair of purple leggings the other day).

Poor judgment, KB, poor, poor judgment.

  1. And if we've learned anything from the HBO series Big Love, it's that...umm, your father in law may try to kill you? Mormons are better looking on TV? I forget.

  3. I saw a sign outside Supre or some other shit shop that says Jeans + Leggings = Jeggings.
    Don't see why their VM thought this was necessary seeing as the people that buy jeggings are really smart.
