There is a point where the humor becomes stale and redundant. There is also a point where humor becomes humiliation and is no longer really all that funny. I know it was something different and unusual, but enough already! Let it go so this sad lady can hopefully put this in the past. If she wises up and decides to get cleaned up it will not help to still be the joke of the day. HER DAY HAS PASSED!

People that are humiliated like this sometimes do the only thing left to stop the humiliation that would leave everyone who participated in the big laughs feeling like a piece of crap as they should. So knock it off.

:agree: This behavior is indicative of emotional problems. Public ridicule doesn't help.

I'm not sure why some of the posters think the two have been humiliated. Unless I've missed some contrite statements they may he high fiveing.

In the photos, the look in their eyes shows nothing but abject pain.

Some momentary joking around is understandable. But quickly people started "kicking a dog when he's down". Come to think of it, people on here wouldn't treat a dog like this.

On another note, I thought the o.p. had posted a joke to start of this thread. But when I looked in "the other newspaper online", I saw it's an actual article there. They're lowering themselves to the tabloid level, I think.

I find it ironic that a woman that has a serious drinking problem would have a new drink named in her honor.....or dishonor depending on how one views this situation.

Personally I hail from that side of the argument of " I don't kiss and tell". obviously I didn't do the kissing but out of respect for the lady...............

Actually, that quotation comes from an essay by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich that focused on well-behaved women who did make history.:thumbup:

Who says they are sad about it, this is America land of the free home of the brave they did what whole bunch of us would love to do we do not have a women's Christian temperance society here that amendment was repealed along time ago if it was alcohol induced So be it no one put a gun to their head and said drink this and go have sex they are human beings they are responsible for their actions. you cannot be a mother to the entire world laugh giggle and envy them and just move on. there is a whole lot more here going on than just Bible study and bunco!
who ru to tell people to "knock it off" I went to church this morning and prayed to someone other than you!
