Who are they kidding!!?

Just watching another train wreck of a reality show, 'Sister Wives'. This spoiled chump of a guy has three wives and is about to marry a fourth. The psychological drama of it all explains why we don't have polygamy in this country -- and not in most others. It simply doesn't work. All the wives are all miserable, while pretending to be so supportive of each other. The one in total control is the passive aggressive first wife, Meri (yeah, I know, her parents spelt her name wrong). As the depraved history of these marriages unfolds, it becomes clear that whenever the husband gets too involved with the latest wife, Queen Meri decides it's time for another. Guess what, the other wives don't like it and they say so. But Cody, the drooling, infantile husband, just loves it! For a while after each marriage, they all settle into the new arrangement. But when Meri feels control slipping away, she decides it's time to take another wife. So, she goes out and picks one she can control.....for a while. Number four won't be the last, count on it.

This episode features Cody's courtship of wife number four, Robyn. And they all get into the act! Helping out, babysitting her kids so they can go out on dates........he even takes his two eldest daughters along on one weekend sleepover so they can look after her kids while they...um...er... ahem........get it on. It is just so sick. The crowning touch is the wedding, when all the wives and kids get gussied up, go to the hairdresser, get their nails done, put on new outfits and off they go. And while controller Meri is dressing loverboy for his "nuptials" he starts coming on to her and they start necking! It can't be true. But it gets worse. Out to dinner to celebrate her 20th anniversary with chumly, Meri breaks down and tearfully asks our hero how he would feel if she took a lover or another husband or two, or three. Indignantly he admonishes her that it....."would be obscene and grotesque and that he can't even think about it." Well, there ya go!

This chump has produced 16 kids and takes responsibility for none. As he arrives for an overnighter with one of them, he greets her with, "Hi, how's it goin'?" Can you imagine your husband coming up to you and asking that, as if he were talking to a buddy in the locker room?! The sad part is watching the wives pretend this is a great arrangement, while they all blubber into the camera. They claim it is because they are fundamentalist Mormon, but not once does anyone mention that this is all done because God decrees it. Not once is a higher power mentioned. Not once is this exploitation explained through scripture. This is just a North American version of an islamic practice. Please help us.
