It wasn't that they were happy the couple was kaput - but as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were obviously a couple, many sided with Aniston (I.E. Team Aniston) and figured Pitt would get what he deserved by hooking up with the "wild" Jolie.
But Aubre Andrus, a write for the Badger Herald had a very interesting take. Her take is that 'Celebrity splits discourage love' among the non celebrities.
There’s no hope. No hope at all for anyone. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are over… After all those stories I thought were only rumors … can it possibly get any more depressing?

It all started when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up and almost every girl I know was so upset. Then Angelina Jolie had to step into the picture and ruin any chance for future Brad Pitt-Jennifer Aniston babies. And apparently after the breakup of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, he started taking crazy pills and replaced an Australian beauty with boring Ohio girl-next-door Katie Holmes who is now pregnant!
And to top it all off, Cosmopolitan runs an article about “successful” celebrity marriages lasting only five years … or five months — what is the world coming to?
Cute take. (Read the rest here.)
But fear not Aubre, many of these marriages are completely manufactured for publicity and some are even full fledged shams that are doomed to failure from the start.
