more silly blog genres

(fig. 2: a typical picture from a couple blog)

At the risk of sounding like Bridget Jones, what's with couple blogs!!! They usually contain tons of pictures of the happy lovers celebrating their love. If they are married couple blogs (a particularly virulent sub-strain) they contain pictures of houses, kids, and weddings.

BLEURGH!!

UUURK!!!

YUKYUKYUKYUKYUK!!!!!!

As if the world isn't covered in enough soppy couples as it is! But surely a happy relationship is about more than boasting on the bloody internet! It's like these people are treating their lifestyles as some sort of consumer purchase, not an actual life. Its as though having a perfect relationship is a box that 'successful people' tick, along with the 'McMansion' box and the 'Monstrousity of a Flat Screen Television' box.
