French Divorce Fair

In France there are about 260,000 divorces annually. (Insert French surrender joke here.) With this in mind, Paris (AKA: The city of love) is hosting something that's being referred to as a divorce fair. It's a 2-day event that is actually called the New Start Trade Fair. The fair has 60 stands, some with lawyers, others profit on self improvement, while others still have fortune telling and tarot readings. The conferences cover topics such as plastic surgery, self image and separation law. Most in attendance are women, but that's fair, because the same is apparently true of Parisian marriage fairs. So, I guess that means they are at least committed to their sense of balance.

Psycho Stabbin' Mama

So, now let's hypothetically say that you have a son in junior high school and he has just gone through one of his first little romantic breakups. Realistically dismayed, as a parent, there are always at least two options:

A. Do your best to console the poor kid by drawing on your own life experiences, wisely knowing that the child is still young, and when it comes to that kind of love, this isn't even the beginning.

B. Find some relatives of the girl who dumped your little boy and go Jason Voorhees on their asses.

For going with option B, the mother in this story easily gets a rating of 7 Zombie Darwins.
