. When the sacred union of marriage is trivialized and set to flashy lights and slick production values, and made to act as a whore for a back-lit "MILLIONAIRE" watching like some sick combination of Billy Baldwin in SLIVER, and the bad guy from INSPECTOR GADGET... I find the deification of the concept of becoming a MILLIONAIRE or marrying a MILLIONAIRE, or doing whatever to a MILLIONAIRE, by way of some lowest-common-denominator game-show which offers high rewards for low achievers to be obscene.
...is that the "millionaire" is actually some schmuck '80s comedian whose assets consist largely of a couple of shitty houses in Vancouver, a restraining order from an old girlfriend, and an insatiable lust for publicity.
A proud day for both women and men.
