Phil has a question:

Is that an engagement or a merger.

How many lawyers were hired to work on the pre-nup.

What is fat fucking Don the con gonna lie about when he doesn’t get an invite to the wedding.

Are they going to sell tickets to the wedding.

Who will be doing the music for the wedding.

White Wedding

Sometimes Phil just gotta give in to the urge.

So there is a mutual benefit to what seems like the hottest new relationship in the US. It might just be for a few months, until the next break-up song gets written, but Kelce and Swift are for now America’s newest power couple. And the biggest winner is the sport of American football. For as long as announcers can keep making sly references to Swift songs when Kelce scores, the NFL will delight in the fact that millions of women and girls are now following this football meet-cute.

The Guardian – Andrew Lawrence – Taylor Swift is upgrading Travis Kelce’s fame – and the NFL loves it

Most times the Brits have a better perspective on North American news as they are reporting as observers not advocating participants. And they do some listening and research before spewing their venomous hate. Or maybe they understand cuz they had Posh and Beckham after the Spices started to lose their flavour. Or maybe they’re just smarter than Americans.

In the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you’re a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.
