...joyous day; it is also against French law. The Adamski-Dekens match is part of an argument over same-sex marriage that has spread through the developed world in recent months. Last week in Massachusetts, where gay marriage has been legal since May 17, the Cape Cod resort of Provincetown yielded to a request from the Governor to stop marrying out-of-staters. In Australia, Prime Minister John Howard asked Parliament to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The discussion in France reaches a milestone this Saturday when Green Party leader...

It comes from McG, producer of "The O.C." and features a lot of those extreme sports that the beverage commercials tell us the young kids like nowadays. Unfortunately, because of the title, it ended up making me think of "The Valley," the fake-soap-within-a-soap on "The O.C."
