For those of you not up on your celebrity gossip (it pays to work at ABC), Charlize Theron has also decided not to marry her long-time boyfriend Stuart Townsend until gay marriage is legal in the United States.
Just in case someone thinks I'm unoriginal, I'd like to confirm here and now that -- while it's possible (though unclear) that Charlize may have come up with this idea before I did -- we each came to the idea on our own. In fact, I saw her make a declaration little more than a week after I had made up my own mind. Weird, huh? Isn't that what you kids call a meme?
BONUS: Watch next Friday's Judge Joe to hear the following awesome sentence...
Hey, if I wasn't a good mother, then my daughter wouldn't be able to sue me right now.
NO, actually a meme is characterized by direct transmission, not independent creation.
Hmm, I wasn't shouting no. I just have big clumsy hands.
