A little light comedy for all you fine people in Hubskivania.

Being single, we’re told in film, television, music, advertising and even the Supreme Court, is a state of existence that is lonely, pathetic, hopefully temporary and meaningless. Being single is a life that is more expensive. Being single is a life lived wrongly. There is no adequate art, culture, politics or law that understands singleness on its own (often satisfied) terms as something other than a bitter life of being unlucky in love.

I don't think I laughed this hard at a media hit piece masquerading as a concern troll in at least a week or two. I realize that this is a bit of the Baader Meinhof but the reaction of the advertising industry to people like myself who don't watch TV and block almost all web ads are at least in my mind increasing. Ad blocking is theft, after all

I'll stay single and keep my money, thanks for the chuckle but no thanks, Washington Post.
