Subject: She fell in love with the Eiffel Tower... and Married it

Written By: LyricBoy on 03/08/10 at 6:51 pm

Don't know about where y'all live, but here near Picksburgh, Comcast has been running an ad where a gal mentions some lady who "fell in love with the Eiffel Tower... and married it".

Had a little time on my hands and Googled this:

Seems that one Erika La Tour Eiffel (La Tour was her maiden name) indeed has pledged to love, honor, and obey the landmark.  ;D ;D

There was a BBC America program that was all about women who fell in love with inannimate objects.  It was a little sad, a little creepy and just really unusual.  I'd never knew the phenominon existed before I saw the program.  As I recall, she threw her leg over one of the girders and consummated the marriage of sorts.  8-P

I think I'll stick to my more conventional marriage partner, as hard as it is sometimes.  lol  ;D

Hmm... Maybe for her the huge Eiffel Tower is a Freudian symbol of something else.  ???

Oui, Oui, mademoiselle!  ;D

So two gay people can't get married, but this lady can marry the freaking Eiffel Tower?

That makes sense.  ::)
