Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man?

Star Wars episodes 2 and 3.

If the Jedi councel find out Anakin's married, he looses his Jedi Knight status.

Can't think of anything else, although I'm sure there's more.

eta: Some have thought that Lou Reed's music suffered when he got married and his outlook on life grew less pessamistic.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, I stayed up to watch Christiane Amanpour on TDS, but then passed out. Did you catch it?

Missed the replay this morning. We were watching the Bear in the Big Blue House. But I think DH recorded it for me last night. I hope. I haven't checked yet.

ChiKat, would Madame Bovary fit the bill? I think that Dr. Bovary's wife pressures him to try some risky proceedure that ends up crippling the patient and messing up his career.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

ChiKat, pretty much anything by August Strindberg will fit the bill from what I understand, though I've never read any of his stuff myself. Actually, the Scandanavians are good for that kind of thing - I'm sure there are several Bergman movies that would fit the bill.

And of course, there's that laugh riot ETHAN FROMME.

Is that what you're looking for, or am I looking at your question wrong?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man?

Every ball-and-chain joke since the beginning of time.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I normally don't watch TV on Tuesdays, but last night I happened to be watching L&O:SVU and Bradley Cooper was on (Will from Alias). What a cutie. (I'm a sucker for blue eyes.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hee. Msbelle, you should totally watch the teaser for the VM finale.

The Age of Innocence is also a good one. Edith didn't have very good things to say about marriage, did she?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

And on a completely different note from my last suggestion, SCARFACE where Steven Bauer marries Pacino's sister, he finds out they've slept together, and kills him before he finds out they got married.
