The billboard in question:

Hell hath no fury indeed.

Ping!

I think its cool. As for the adultery aspect, those who break their vows deserve a miserable existence.

And they usually do..(Just ask my ex-wife...)

[ThreePuttinDude]

I wouldn't be surprised if she was a "redhead"

They've got spunk....and I love them

Thank you! My "Wife" and I have been together for seventeen years and have never had affairs outside our relationship.

If you make a promise, keep it, is the moral of this story.

It's unclear what her hair colour is - her website is as follows:

www.myspace.com/janesrevenge

I suspect she would appreciate messages of support from America.

Regards, Ivan

[Quix]

ouch!

Sounds a bit fitting, though.

[Grampa Dave]

Excellent use of her money.

If she had posted pictures of the two love birds, it would have been even better.

[GVnana]

BWAHAHA! I Love it! At least she has the good sense to name people for what they really are!

[jjm2111]

Good for her.

There's something terribly wrong when people have the need to air their dirty laundry in public.

It is also funny when the same people also say.... it's their life, their privacy, their affairs, and no one else business.

Why do people feel the need to publicize their love affair, betrayals, divorces, and their miseries? I just don't know - perhaps they are in need of some words of comfort from people they don't even know.

Maybe someone should invite this woman to FR, so she can post a vanity thread and tell us about the dissolution of her relationship and the adultery. I bet she will get lots of replies. :-)

She has already emptied their joint bank account and burnt his clothes, but that's still not enough for her. She needed to advertise her husband's infidelity and her friend's betrayal. This is the new tarred and feathered of the 21 century, but I never care much for tarring and feathering people.... with some exceptions of course, especially if it was a public figure who did grave things.

There are things best kept private. Hire a lawyer and take him to the cleaners, but this modern tarring and feathering is too uncivilized for my taste.

I agree. The thing is that invariably with these types of stories it's easy to take the side of the spurned party, since all else being equal they seem to deserve the sympathy.

Things are seldom so straightforward. Almost every person I knew who has been cheated on in a marriage was either a neglectful or otherwise poor spouse themselves. That's not to say that they deserved being betrayed, but it is to say that they appeared to take the 'for better or worse' vow as a license to drift to the 'worst.'

In any event, i don't care for these types of antics either. Nobody is a saint, and it's entirely possible that hubby (if he could still afford it) could fill a billboard with info about his wife, too.

Seems to me neither billboard is good, nor productive.

[bvw]

Yes, you are right.

99.97% of the time in cases like this, best that dirty laundry not be forced upon the innocent public.

Yet, "Hooray!" for the billboard, and the publicity-- may the public lesson preserve a thousand marriages by it's being made.

And just how "innocent" is the public? It is more like public lessons like this are needed, when "Desperate Housewices" is a ratings winner.

[HitmanLV]

If you make a promise, keep it, is the moral of this story.

The problem with these types of stories is that the the cheated upon party tends to instinctively get too much credit. Truth be told, we don't know how well the snubbed wife kept promises, or whether she was otherwise a good spouse herself.

Usually (but not always) both parties share some responsibility in situations like this. That's not to say blame. But responsibility.

(Following on my last reply, above in thread.)

Or when tourist marketing campaigns use morals-challenging slogans such as "What happens here, stays here!", eh, Mr. ChopJobLV?

[Petronski]

Imagine this!


LOL

[HitmanLV]

I call em like i see them. Marketing slogans aside, all we know in this case is that the guy cheated on his wife with her best friend.

On it's face, it's deplorable. That's not to say she was a good wife (or a good friend, for that matter). If she was a sucky spouse, I don't blame him for looking for affection elsewhere. What's the alternative - continually enabling a poor spouse and living a terrible life, or ditching a dead-end person in a dead-end relationship?

We don't know the details here. On its face, he is a sucky husband and she is a sucky friend. But there is more to this than what's on the face - there always is.

[bvw]

Hmmm, because of my eariler wilder life I can say with the confidence of real-world experince to your "there always is more there", that: "No, there isn't. Lust and back-stabbing infidelity are very simple things. Just that."

[HitmanLV]

While I agree that lust and back-stabbing infidelity are simple things, that's not to say that there isn't more there. They aren't mutually exclusive. Nor do I advocate that behavior.

It's just that more often than not, things are not as straightforward as an cheated-upon spouse describes.
