Is it anybody's business?
"Entertainment Tonight" and its sister show, "The Insider," may have paid $500,000 for the rights to broadcast upcoming nuptials between Mary Kay Letourneau, 43, and Vili Fualaau, now 22, who had a relationship with she was his sixth grade teacher.
Says Fualaau, now 22: "She's the same person I fell in love with a long time ago."

Today, a wedding between a 22-year-old and a 43-year-old is no one's business. I find it pretty revolting, however, that this pair's past as pedophile and victim has made for an awful lot of curiosity and noteriety. Not to mention quite a lot of potential personal wealth.
We're a sick society, at the mercy of the purveyors of the tawdry. Nothing short of pathetic, IMO.

The problem isn't their marriage; rather, it's the network's knowledge that paying so much for the rights to televise it will give them huge ROI because for all those who say it's "distasteful" or whatever, many more (and some of them, too) will watch it. Making money is *all* that this about.
