Did you see this story last week? About the guy in North Carolina who sued his wife’s affair partner with a “homewrecker” law — and won a $750,000 verdict? North Carolina is one of 8 states that still has “alienation of affection” laws on the books, although they are rarely enforced. So, this win is […]

‘Being Frank’ versus Being Chumped

by

The new Jim Gaffigan comedy Being Frank is a chump Springtime for Hitler — a terrible idea that someone inexplicably green-lighted. Of course The Producer’s “Springtime for Hitler” is fiction (and the joke is it’s a hit); Being Frank is an actual movie that’s a flop. The premise: Teenage son, Phillip, discovers his hard-ass father, Frank, […]

UBT: ProJared’s Divorce Statement

by

The Universal Bullshit Translator was awakened from its slumber to several insistent tweets that it tackle some sort of ProJared bullshit. The UBT had no idea what a ProJared was, as the “Pimp my dragon mount!” segment of the economy is unfamiliar to a simple analog machine. Apparently, among the savvy sorts who fancy themselves goblins, ProJared […]

I read the news of a murder/suicide in Philly this week with a sad horror. Jennair Gerardot, 47,  confronted the woman who was having an affair with her husband, Meredith Chapman, 33, and shot her.

Oh Modern Love, what-the-everliving-fuck? A bazillion of you sent me Sunday’s New York Time’s ML column — a look at relationships from the point of view of a 49-year-old woman who screws married men. Because… well, you know how it goes after divorce, when you create Tinder profiles for no-strings-attached sex, and lonely, tragically misunderstood, sexless men reply […]

Australia, You Need to Up Your Scandal Game

by

Maybe I’m jaded by reading millions of batshit crazy infidelity stories over six years, or feeding Jesus cheaters through the Universal Bullshit Translator, or living in Washington, D.C. under the Reign of the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief…. but Australia, really? Is this the best you’ve got on douchebags? Barnaby Joyce? A two-bit “family values” hypocrite who left his […]

New Script for Betrayed Political Wives?

by

Chumped wives in the media. It’s never pretty, is it? If they’re even in focus, that is. Bit players to their husband’s malfeasance. Hanging in there, standing by their man, issuing media “we” statements… (How did you get ownership of this, chump? Dude can’t even use a singular possessive pronoun?) I don’t envy anyone suffering […]
