Believe it or no, I was bored this weekend so I watched television for like 4 whole hours. One of the things I sat through while trying to read was The Andromeda Strain on A&E. The movie was just so-so. I was more taken by the commercials for programs on other channels. I was most particularly annoyed by We’s “Bridezillas,” a show with Twisted Sister’s “We’re not gonna take it” as its theme song. So, this is one of many shows that commercialize the nuptial event. These programs are intended, I’m quite sure, to send every potential bride and groom to a nice normal Vegas elopement. Oh, and to make young women and their families look like complete and utter morons. The feministing bloggers were reading my mind with their special radar because they posted this awesome video today. We’ve come a long way, baby. (sigh).
