An organization representing Utah polygamists decried the new HBO show “Big Love” as a “grossly unrealistic distortion” of their lives.
In the show, actor Bill Paxton plays Bill Henrickson, who is married to three women played by actresses Jeanne Tripplhorn, Chloë Sevigny, and Ginnifer Goodwin. “All three are exceptionally beautiful women,” said a spokesman for the group, Polygamists Associated. “It just doesn’t work out that way in the real world. I mean, maybe one might be okay looking, but three hot women like this -- there’s no way.”
A representative from an anti-polygamy group, Monogamists Associated, said he was relieved to hear of the polygamists’ complaints. “We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from our members about the show, with many wondering whether we might loosen up a bit. I think Chloë Sevigny in particular got them all excited. Perhaps this latest news from the polygamists will calm them down.”
