Online Marriage

If the idea of a drive thru Las Vegas shotgun wedding sounds a tad too sophisticated, then you should consider the next best thing.

TOILET HUMOUR: The ‘Nag Nag Nag’ Loo Roll

This week, news reaches Mini Bytes HQ of a rather intriguing marital (pun intended) proposal. The site offers you the chance to “get virtually married online”.

It’s “a simple idea that involves the couple tying the knot at a given time on the internet in a customised chatroom type environment” or so the maker says.

Try though you might, it’s hard to find romance in the customised environs of chat rooms and we all know what types hang out there so this might not be for everyone.

Then factor in the fact that the site also offers an online divorce service allowing you to delete your earlier marital mistake.

A cursory glance at the site’s registration page shows very few participants so maybe the wi fi wife is an idea whose time hasn’t yet come.

Doubtless, there will be those who think of this as a great way to tie the knot. But most of those are already wed… to their computer.

Happy Divorce

Marry in haste and you could be divorcing your treasure. With celebrity pre-nups the order of the day, many Hollywood big shots are fleeced by post wedding partners. Now one site is shameslessly exploiting the growing trend in separations in an unusual fashion; with chocolate.

Novelty gifts involving confectionery are traditionally the preserve of stag and hen parties but these sugar-coated entrepreneurs have gone one step further, offering a wide range of melt in the mouth gifts for the recently divorced.

There’s the simple yet effective Happy Divorce Chocolate bar for the spiteful spouse to nibble on while confiscating their ex’s possessions. Or how about husband or wife Voodoo dolls to spend a vengeful evening with?

And, there’s non choccie gifts too. The ex-wife toilet paper puts your partner in her place and is custom emblazoned with words NAG NAG NAG to remind you of those halcyon days. Ladies might relive those husband with ex-husband equivalent with it’s own mocking comments.

Finally, for those looking for the perfect replacement partner there’s the inanimate inflatable spouse available in both sexes and money back guaranteed not to crash the car, waste time or money or upset your parents.

It’s just one of many great ways to say – Happy Divorce.
