[Story](http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g_QDI8sXEn4f7fpi1U2fm1UgnGsAD8UP6BLO1). He wed a 22 year old actress (5’7 if you’re interested) on a Nevada mountaintop. Here’s wishing him happiness. Poor guy deserves a break after 20 years as a punchline (even if he can be a bit of a jerk). I wonder if the cast and crew of _Avenue Q_ will send a gift? ---

There are times when you like to see someone get kicked around and then there comes a point where you start to think that the person just doesn’t deserve the amount of shit they’ve had to put up with. That latter point came about three years ago for me in regards to GC. He deserves some semblance of a shot at a normal life. I hope he gets it. ---

I guess it’d be tacky of me to come in here and state that I thought he was dead… Best of luck to him–although I find the age discrepancy kinda squicky. ---

The guy does deserve happiness- let’s hope the wife really cares for him and isn’t just after the money and fame he no longer has. ---

Personally, I always thought Gary Coleman was a few prawns short of a galaxy.
