Divorce At The Click Of A Button

Just when you thought the institution of marriage couldn’t become more of a joke, now you can get out of one at the price of dinner and a movie. Thanks to the internet, you can now file for divorce without having to log out of your latest quest on World Of Warcraft. What a pleasure.

Just when you thought the institution of marriage couldn’t become more of a joke, now you can get out of one at the price of dinner and a movie.  Thanks to the internet, you can now file for divorce without having to log out of your latest quest on World Of Warcraft.  What a pleasure.  

My cynicism aside, the whole idea is pretty nifty, since it cuts out all the lawyers and consequently saves you a ton of cash.  It also speeds up the entire process, and may even allow you to settle disputes more amicably.

The only catch is that to file for an online divorce, you need to prove that your marriage has broken down on established grounds.  Which means that you may have to exaggerate a couple details.  Like stating that your spouse had an affair with the neighbour, rather than sighting their loud chewing and incessant farting.

Thanks Internet, and here I was thinking marriage was like a big deal.
