And now something to ruin your day

This couple broke up and wrote a song about it. And recorded themselves singing and dancing to it. Um...

Is this the new cool way to end a relationship?






It's painful to watch, for obvious reasons as well as the ridiculous dance and makeup. I've heard people saying they cried after watching this video. My sister probably would because she cries before Titanic even starts. I didn't because I'm a heartless ice queen.

Jonathan Mann writes a song every day (he goes by the Twitter moniker @songadaymann). For #1435 he and his ex-girlfriend, Ivory King sang and danced to the song "We've Got to Break Up". Apparently the vegan couple ended their five-year relationship because Jonathan wanted to have kids and Ivory didn't.

It makes me sad how many people think they can change their partner, or expect them to change over time. Something as monumental as having children is something you're unlikely to change someone's mind about.

Just to play devil's advocate, if Ivory were the one who wanted kids, she could have easily "missed" her birth control and the deed would have been done. Women do this all the time. And there's nothing a man could do about it because he'd be considered a jerk to even have a say.

In other news, Taylor Swift is cursing herself for not thinking of something so charming and quirky first.
