A few years back, there was this “stop snitching” campaign going on. What it amounted to was people didn’t help the police when a crime took place. Even some rapper went on 60 Minutes and made an ass of himself by saying he wouldn’t turn in a murderer who lived next door.
Crude as it was, the campaign worked. Well it’s time for another one. Let’s call it STOP CHEATING.
Need reasons to stop?
- The baby that you deny is yours and someone is going to tell it — John Edwards.
- Your mistress will post evidence of your eight-year affair online and pay an ass-load of money to put up billboards of your affair in New York — Charles Phillips.
- If you are a billionaire and you sleep with women who make around $20,000 a year, they will sell their story to the media — Tiger Woods.
So, let’s make some “Stop Cheating” T-shirts. Let’s take wedding vows seriously. And let’s (because cheating will continue) cheat with people who have just as much to lose as you do.
Do you think Oprah would cheat with a waiter? Or allow someone to take pictures of her and her lover? If need be, make your mistress (and men can be a mistress too) sign a release. Better yet, just pay for it–in Nevada where it is legal. The prostitutes never talk over there.
