The Beckhams like to sue people

David and Victoria Beckham are seeking libel damages against the News of the World for suggesting that their "happy marriage" is a sham. Now I don't want to get into anybody's business, but saying that somebody has marriage problems doesn't really seem like grounds for a lawsuit to me. I could understand it if they said the Beckhams enjoy killing orphans in their backyard and eating pandas for dinner, but all they did was say that they aren't as happily married as the public thinks they are. Even taken in the worst possible way, that's still not that bad. I just hope that when this finally falls before an actual court, the judge will laugh in their faces and have them thrown in jail for being idiots.
