Over the weekend, Mary Milan and I watched the marathon of Bam’s Unholy Union on MTV2. The show features the hijinx of Bam Margera, his lovely fiancee Missy Rothstein as they plan their wedding, and of course, Bam’s family and crew.
That’s right, Jackass: The Wedding.
It goes without saying that it was basically three plus hours of Bam skating, hurting himself and others, and generally acting a fool while Missy rolled her eyes and tried to slog through wedding planning.
Why would I insist that Mary Milan and I watch this show?
Well obviously, when I eventually fuck up the planning of our wedding, I can always point to Bam’s Unholy Union and remind Mary Milan that I’m not fucking up that badly.
MM: “JHK, I hate you! You still haven’t figured out the seating chart.”
Me: “Yeah, but at least I’m not out buying knight’s armour, axes, and swords and shit for my groomsmen to wear during the ceremony.”
MM: “You’re right. I love you!”
Downward social comparisons rule! I highly encourage using them often.
(You may be wondering how I got Mary Milan to watch three plus hours of Bam’s Unholy Union. She loves wedding shows. Any wedding show. I used this knowledge on her like judo.)
