WE TV’s cult success of a show, “Bridezillas” is a disaster, but an enjoyable one. It’s like watching a car wreck in slow motion, watching each bone shatter in high definition- a voyeur’s dream come true. Well that is if you’re a stereotypical 20 something woman with marriage on her mind.
Everyone else will find it hysterical, mainly because many of the people who are featured on it represent the lowest common denomination of America’s civilized society.
The fact that every man pictured on the show is shown as weak and a puppet to their woman is the exact reason why this show is on the channel it is. If you want to know why there is still a gender gap in this country, it’s shows like this, that make a joke of a sacred thing like marriage and make it all about an often unappreciative woman who will only end up in divorce in a few years anyway.
Men can rejoice however knowing that they can get something more than a few laughs out of the show. You may get a scouting report on how your woman will behave if you pop the question. Simply put, if the woman you’re with thinks she’ll be a bridezilla one day, you know you’re better off leaving or building the bomb shelter, you know, the one you’ll likely spend the duration of your marriage in.
This show paints a picture of women and weddings that will scare the crap out any single man still thinking about having a family. In one episode, a man gets scoffed at by his fiancée because she doesn’t like the wedding ring he just gave her. It gets so bad that she walks out of the restaurant they’re eating at and tells him to pay the bill and meet her in the car.
Soon after, this poor man looks at the camera and says, “It’s better than being alone.”
No it isn’t pal. Thanks to your misfortune though, the countless men that are forced to watch this show will leave their girlfriends houses with their stomachs in knots. Yes, watching some hapless loser be berated by a woman who has no concept of love is aggravating. If you ever wanted to know how your girlfriend felt while you were watching football, with potato chips on your shirt and beer in your beard, this is the closest you’ll ever get to it.
That doesn’t mean you won’t tune in next week though, as after a while you get sucked in and you become a closet Zilla fan. Be warned though, all it takes is a half hour.
