Maybe the news media should quit their preoccupation with serial marriers. These kinds of stories, and these kinds of profoundly shallow commitments to the ideal of marriage, are probably the biggest diminishment of the institution in the world. This isn't a complaint about divorce - it's about how little diligence some celebrities put into marriage, and it's about how they use marriage as a possible tonic for whatever horrible personality ailment they are suffering from, and treat it like a ineffective over-the-counter ointment when they determine they aren't feeling any better.
Part of me feels sorry for Pamela Anderson, and wishes she'd find help. Part of me is sick of seeing her in the news, and wishes the news media would quit validating her impression of what marriage is.
