Sinister: Rupert Murdoch & Stuart Murdoch--any relation?

[jenn phillips-bacher]

You look lovely when you wear that dress, Sinister!  It really brings out 
the color of your eyes,

It took a massive event to bring me out of my State of Lurk, and the event 
was this from Marianna:

>Like a Flan obsessed with an Adam, I keep seeing Stuart Murdoch 
> >everywhere. I thought I saw him recently on the advertisement for >ITV's 
>Secret Weddings.The premise? Propose to your boyfriend, be >separated 
>instantly for three days, show up in the studio in a frock >and hope that 
>he turns up to be wed in a 30-second ceremony.

Okay, so I'm not in the UK, but did anyone in the US watch "Married by 
America" last night?*  Anyone? Anyone?  One of the suitors looked exactly 
like Stuart Murdoch!  I am not kidding.  And his name was SMITHY, and he was 
wearing an oversized ribbed sweater, undoubtedly to cover up his slim 
physique and draw attention away from his firm bottom.  He was precious, and 
I considered checking the Married by America website to see if he will be 
appearing on any other reality tv shows in the future.

This is all very weird.
And with that, I go into lurk mode once more.
Kisses,
Jenn P-B

*The premise of this show is that successful, gorgeously chiseled singles 
who have had a tough time with the whole romance thing and are ready to get 
hitched are presented a panel of suitors.  America votes and then they get 
married on air!  Isn't it great?  The contestant's family & friends prepare 
questions for the 5 suitors along the lines of "Barbara really loves her 
cats.  How do you feel about changing the kitty litter?" and "You studied 
Philosophy in college.  How can you possibly provide for our daughter?"  
Then the suitors respond with scripted 1-sentence answers that say 
absolutely nothing about themselves.  Gosh, this is all starting to sound a 
bit like the 2000 election.  I'm not sure who appoints the fiancee at the 
end of the show--I didn't watch after Smithy was voted off Suitor Island.
