Bad? Brilliant?

An email from the Family Research Council Action yesterday tells twentysomethings that the important thing is that we all get married. Now. Or end up alone forever.

Apparently, in reporting on recently released Census data, “Far too many reporters are overlooking the fact that only a small fraction of Americans over 30 (12.5%) never get married.” Obviously, the crazy liberal media doesn’t realize how ostracized single people over 30 are—if you’re not married by then, it’s time to stock up on kitty litter and eschew society for the rest of your miserable, cat lady existence.

FRC Action also reports that

Nearly 75% of "family households" are headed by a married couple. In fact, married-couple families are more than double the number of male-headed families, female-headed families, and unmarried-partner households--combined (49.7% to 22.5%)! So don't count out marriage!

A very sophisticated everybody’s-doing-it argument. And the picture that accompanies it is priceless: whitebread bride and groom gaze lovingly at each other, and the URL titles the scene “NORMAL.”

...and also works for my sister and her wife. I wonder if that's what FRC had in mind... ;)
