AS A GESTURE IT'S FABULOUS, BUT...

So Brad Pitt has pledged that he and Angelina Jolie will not get married until America drops it's restrictions on marriage. I think that's an incredibly noble and true gesture on his part and I applaud him for making that stand.

At the SAME time, I don't think it's going to change anything. I don't think Congress is going to suddenly fall over themselves to pass a "It's Okay For Two Men Who Love Each Other To Make A Commitment" Amendment because the drooly guy from 12 Monkeys and the skanky hacker chick from Hackers won't tie the knot otherwise.

"Mr. President! Mr. President! The government is at a standstill. Citizens are rioting in the streets! Gas is $12 a gallon! Unemployment is at 73%! YouTube has been taken off the Internet!"

"What could be causing all of this tragedy?"

"It's Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile sir. They're NOT GETTING MARRIED!!"

"Well, nuts to us."

Now if they said they had pictures of Suri Cruise... THEN they might be in business.
