The Groom Reaper

One of my idols, the deeply disturbed and intensely hilarious John Waters was on The Daily Show last night. He was talking about his new show, which features reenactments of spousal murders—a show he refers to as "pro-divorce." That's a good line, but like any good joke, there's some truth to it. I like to think the show is also doing its part to further undermine the idea that marriage is sacred, just so long as it's between a man and a woman.

Anyway, here's the clip, in case you missed it.
