I'd have thought you'd be MORE pissed off that she was FIRST described as a WIFE. As in subservient to a HUSBAND. Just as Mrs. Potato Head couldn't be Ms. Potato Head... she had to be Mrs. Potato Head. What? She couldn't make it on her OWN?

Geez, I have no idea how to fight these gender wars, and what SHOULD and what SHOULD NOT piss someone off.

In the immortal words of Tom Jones, whose mere presence motivates females to throw their panties onto the stage... "She's a Lady... Whoa Whoa Whoa She's a Lady..."
