I mean, can you imagine having to pull a straight face when Mr. Jones, the 60-year-old barber-cum-snake oil salesman presents you his fresh 12-year-old bride?!

Back in the 1950s, singer Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. The media did not keep a straight face. It was technically legal but still trashed his reputation for decades.

As it damned well should, at the very least! Holy Jesus!
