If these two couldn't make it, what chance do the rest of us have?

It was a joke, ie., if Britney and Mr. Spears, with such a "solid" marriage and "upstanding family values" couldn't make it last, what chance do us normal schlubs have of maintaining long lasting and committed relationships?

Basically, a completely tongue-in-cheek statement on celebrity "marriages", but apparently I failed to properly project irony.

I knew that it was.

I was aiming at the total lack of respect for the
institution that the "Hollywood Crowd" has these days also.

tongue in cheek meters though, are sometimes needed.

^Agreed. Can we get one of the Admins on a tongue-in-cheek meter?

Wow! Apparently Britney informed K-Fed via text message that she wanted a divorce. There's a video and everything here

Man, Hollywood makes me feel normal.

Perhaps the tongue-in-cheek meter can be developed as part of a signature ... I'll change my profile now to include an example.

Tongue-in-cheek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Tongue-in-cheek is a term that refers to a style of humor in which things are said only half seriously, or in a subtly mocking way.

If we are going to do a percentage meter and it said 30%. Would that mean 30% of 50% of what i said was serious? Or are you modifying the meaning of tongue-in-cheek to mean 30/70 and in that case which is which? Is 30% of it serious or is 70%?

Cause from what I understand, if your humor is Tongue-in-cheek, then its already at 50%.

I think its 30% of the POTENTIAL 100% of which is, by default, 50% of complete seriousness.

That works for me, I was just thinking about it too much. I need to rest now. I am out of breath.

I think Brit must have heard K-fed's new CD. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
