"I am Spartacus"

[fpb]

Right. This is a bit late, now that Wikipedia is in on the act, but I still want to do it:

Ryan Giggs, the Manchester United football star, committed adultery with Imogen Thomas and then tried to forbid anyone from hearing about it by the use of a "super-injunction" - one of the corrupt British judiciary's worst outrages against freedom of speech. Now sue me, you spoilt, overindulged, cowardly little bully.

It is not about pain. When Giggs and his likes say that they want to avoid giving pain to their families, what they mean is that they want to avoid pain themselves - from a rolling-pin massage to a divorce with shark lawyer sauce. In other words, they are trying to do the deed and avoid the punishment. And is there a single reason why an adulterer should not be publicly known as such?
