The Office: Wet Wedding

Ok, so I am a fan of The Office and it is typically a show that I would say does not suck, however the last episode of the marriage of Jim and Pam gave the word “suck” new meaning.

It's only been, like, five long seasons to finally get to this point and where do they go? Niagara Falls? Kentucky Derby? McDonalds?! Ok, so this isn’t really about the location, although maybe NBC should have looked into going to Sea World and had Jim and Pam get soaked by Shamu instead of a huge waterfall. Romantic? Not really. Maybe I'm just cynical, but Jim and Pam are too perfect. It's annoying to the point I want to slit my wrists. It’s all too sickenly sweet. By the end of the show I was hoping that Meema would pull out a shotgun and chase Jim down and shoot him for making her granddaughter a “whore” (as Michael so nicely put it).


For those of you who did watch the show, I'm curious as to how many knew that the ending dance was a spoof of a wedding dance a couple in Minnesota did. Chris Brown probably loves the fact that his song "Forever" has become such a pop-culture-wedding-song hit (which is ironic as he is apparently a fan of domestic violence). I bet the couple from Minnesota was crapping their pants when they heard The Office wanted to put that in their show and start a national craze. I seriously hope the next wedding I go to has that exact stupid dance down the aisle…I can throw rocks instead of rice!


Enough already of the Pam/Jim duo. I want to see more of Kelly. Hrmm…NBC should match her up with Toby. The entire office should all just start sleeping together now that I think of it. Oh, and add in a miscarriage to top it off. They should even toss in a same sex relationship to make things a little spicy. We don’t want to leave out any possibilities. I’m thinking Meredith could bat for the other team. It worked for Howard Stern. Wonder how the ratings will do then?!
