A Polygamy Primer for "Big Love" Fans

This past season of HBO's Big Love rocked so hard I found myself at dinner parties, after consuming too much wine, waxing about how Big Love is the new Sopranos: family drama, moral complexity, organized crime and sex.

And for we fans who want to understand the show's context better, the Attorney's General of Arizona and Utah have helped us by publishing a primer on fundamentalist Mormonism. It is definitely worth a read.

Thank Father that at least some prosecutors are using taxpayer money wisely to assist tv viewers versus prosecuting drug crimes. Even better, they got a federal grant to do it.

P.S. David Byrne is doing its soundtrack. For Gen X'ers like me who danced in movie theater aisles when Stop Making Sense was showing in theaters this is a cool thing. Plus, we X'ers have great memories of making out to "Heaven."

P.P.S. The female stars of Big Love are all really hot, starting with Chloe Sevigny, pictured above.
