What if you had to pay for justice? What if you couldn't afford it? Would you be left with lawlessness, clutched in the grip of oppression? The makers of the independent documentary film Divorce Corp. seem to think so, as they charge the family court system with being "a dark corner of the judicial system where fiefdoms and tyrants still thrive..."
First-time writer and director Joseph Sorge experienced the complexities of the family law system -- observing the injustices practiced in the family courts. Through his research he discovered that divorce affects nearly 50 percent of American households and 41 percent of first-time marriages end in divorce.
[Sung to the tune of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita"] "Last night I dreamt of Juan Pabloooo...." Yeah that goes through my head every time I watch this show. Pero, Quien es Juan Pablo??
Gossip has leaked out that he is allegedly homophobic, which, to be fair, probably puts him league with every other super conservative Bachelor that has gone before him. He told an interviewer that having a gay Bachelor would be "confusing" for kids to see and "not a good example." Now he's backing away from those words, blaming a language barrier. Whatevs... I would be awesome to see him get together with either the opera singer or the hairdresser and then be surrounded by los homosexuales day in and day out, til' death (or about three months later) do they part.
This week's show had my favorite moment from each season: The death-defying challenge.
You've totally picked up a broom or a yardstick and waved it around like it was a lightsaber. Don't lie. Maybe it was over a decade ago, but you did it.
But now -- you can wave it around like a pro. We're surprised we didn't learn about this sooner, but since 2011, The Golden Gate Knights have been teaching San Francisco Jedis-in-training the art of how to wield a lightsaber. Classes are every Sunday, from noon-3 p.m. for $10. Don't have a lightsaber? Don't worry, they have one for you to borrow.
