Punked

It seems celebrity couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who tied the knot a year ago, demand fidelity from each other at gun point.

The Hollywood actor has revealed that he and Moore purchased shooters just after they got married, and that now he's convinced neither one of them will ever stray.

"We got guns and that helps... She was working on a movie in Louisiana and so we went out and both got (guns). She got a Glock and I got a Springfield"...

"I actually took this boy that Scout was dating out at our place in Idaho and I would, like, carry the gun around in my side at all times just so he knew... Subtle hints," he said.

I'm delighted to see some high profile celebrity gun owners. But implying lethal force against people who aren't an immediate physical threat really doesn't help with a reputation for responsible gun ownership most of us have earned.

It would be nice to see an "A-list" movie star or two explain why they believe in the right to keep and bear arms, and to do so in a way that shows they're more than ankle-deep into the pool. As opposed to the socialist nonsense most of them spew whenever they have a camera and no script in front of them.

Monumentally Important Correction: I guess the title of Ashton's MTV show is "Punk'd", with an apostrophe instead of an "e." S'cuse me for not keeping up with the latest modern, now, au go go trends, especially since I've always considered myself kind of cutting-edge swell...I mean, groovy. Guess I've been owned--or is that pwned?

Actually, owned changed to pwned, but it didn't stop there...

Pwned changed to pwnd then pwnt.

Shortly after pwnt, it was changed to pnt then just p...

Strangely enough the current internet translation for the word owned lies somewhere near "cottage cheese."

Ain't the internet wonderful?!
