So yesterday, dahlink
Gay marriage is legal in, what,
four countries or something? And it's already a pop-culture cliché. On Friday, a Canadian athlete proposed to a teammate by placard. "Montrealer
Dominique Maltais celebrated her Olympic bronze medal in the women's snowboard cross event Friday by hoisting a Canadian flag with a saucy proposition for teammate
Maelle Ricker,"
it sez here. "'Marry me Maelle,' read the flag, which was signed, 'Dom 3:16.'
"The image was captured in a photo and begged the question of whether it was just a joke or an actual proposal, with the possibility it would highlight the right to same-sex marriage in Canada on the world stage at the Olympic Games. Turns out it was just a prank and that the snowboarders' reputations as jokesters is well-deserved. The two are close friends -- and nothing more."
Tain't just the Canucks, either. Why, justa coupla weeks ago, Cha Cha proposed to another girlie on the alleged reality show
"Rollergirls," in a bit titled
"Love Boat" (oddly, the official program guide doesn't mention the wedding, which was heavily hyped in the commercials for that episode). A roller derby league referee pronounced the two women to be skate buds.
It was a joke. I think.
