Mom called the other day to see I was home, which I was. She wanted me to turn on the TV and watch a commercial for Champagne Divorces. I couldn’t believe it. This woman comes on and tells everyone that if you’re ready for a divorce you should talk to her ex-husband the divorce lawyer. She goes on to talk about how caring and gentle he is.
WHAT?!
If he’s such a great guy why are they divorced? Usually when you recommend someone’s services it because you’ve used them yourself. While I’m sure she’s used some of his services (wink, wink) did she really use him as her divorce lawyer? Seems unlikely.
Obviously he’s a very good lawyer; he has his ex-wife doing his commercials. Can there be any doubt that he has some real skills at negotiating a settlement? Not only can’t she tell the world what a crappy husband he was, she has to go on TV and recommend him!
What’s up with the name? Champagne Divorces? And why isn’t Robin Leach doing the commercials? I’m just not sure what kind of message is name sends. Obviously champagne is good for celebrating, but it’s usually for something life affirming like the beginning of a marriage, the start of a business, the launching of a ship. It just seems that divorce calls for something different. Rot Gut Divorces I could understand, or Crying In Your Beer Divorces, maybe even I’ll Never Drink Again Divorces, but Champagne?
If we have Champagne Divorce, you can bet that Caviar Prenups are not too far behind.
