I've mentioned before that I object to "fake marriage" parties because they are taking a holy sacrament and using it for entertainment. It's insutling to Christians. I also hate the way St. Patrick's Day has become an exercise in singing American vaudeville-era songs which used really insulting Irish stereotypes, drinking "green beer", which isn't Irish at all, and furthering the image of the Irish as feckless drunks.
But I'd never ask the administration to crack down on the parties - I'd just hope to be able to register my objection, and maybe educate a few people.
