One correction; They haven't been married yet, but they were the first in Hollywood to get the license.
As for coprophagy, it's only among the non-vertibrates that it's a main form of nutrition; dung beetles and bacteria. It's a good thing they do, too, or we'd all be up to our armpits in shit. Domestic dogs only eat the feces of cats that have been feed commercial foods--it's a behavior that is caused by human domestication of canines and felines.
However, there are several BILLION human beings who regularly eat their own god, sometimes several times a week. Oddly enough, it's those same theophages who say that marrying the consenting adult of your choice is wrong. Don't believe me? Check out your neighborhood Catholic Church.

"...just... so he could get in trouble?"
The guy used tape to restrain his son. His 7-year old son. That's abusive. If he's able to do that to a kid, don't you think he's capable of retaliating against his wife for reporting the abuse?
I'd say she was damn brave to report him.
What I find incredible is that he was charged with "disorderly conduct" instead of child abuse. $186 is a wink and a nod as far as I am concerned. He should spend time in jail for what he did to that kid.
Of course, he's free now, and pissed. The wife and the kid are in danger, IMO.
And you think she reported him just to get him in trouble? Rethink, Alex.

Every time I've been routed to an outsourced support call center, the help has been very good. Never once had a problem understanding or being understood. My beef is that jobs are being taken away from Americans; I am sure that the folks in foreign call centers are being paid a pittance.
I've worked tech support here in the US, and let me tell you that rudeness is ubiquitous: It's NOT because of some perceived inferiority of service because of communications between a non-English as first language tech and an English as first language customer; I've been called a stupid c*nt because I refused to provide account details to a man who refused to identify properly.
Customer service comes in many forms. There's face to face, over the phone, and via email. Face to face is usually the best, but it's not without frustration and sometimes abusive treatment. Over the phone is worse, because it's easy to imagine that the person on the other end isn't real, somehow. Online or by email is the pits; I've seen more abusive language from customers via email than both face-to-face and phone combined.
Think of the "Iron my shirt" bozos who were heckling Hilary; Now compare that to the treatment that Kathy Sierra got.
Oh, and that guy who called me a stupid c*nt? He spoke with a thick accent.
