I turned the channel to CNN the other day (even though it has been advised that I don't watch the news, but I don't think CNN can count as a news channel), and one of the CNN guys was debating - with a panel of suits - the recent publicity interviews that the Olsen twins have given in preparation for the release of their movie.
CNN guy was actually criticizing the girls because they said that when they turned 18 and gained legal control of their company they wanted their lives to remain normal.
The news guy seemed to think that by normal the girls meant living in obscurity in a suburb somewhere and he thought this was a ridiculous thing to say.
Instead, the girls obviously meant that they wanted their lives to continue as they have been, which is normal - for them. They won't take control of the company and start making crazy decisions. They said they were going to school and that's about it, which seems normal to me.
My problem with this 'program' is that this was something CNN chose to debate on TV with an actual panel. Who cares about the upcoming U.S elections, the torture pictures or Iraq anymore?
The important thing is the Olsen twins and how they present themselves in the media.
CNN guy and his 'guests' then went on to criticize the girls further because they never seem to reveal their real feelings in interviews.
Okay, didn't we just get finished tearing apart J.Lo and Ben for personally throwing up in public?
Of course the Olsen twins don't want to reveal personal feelings and pinpoint "who is the grumpier twin?"
Who the fuck cares?
People seem to be obsessed with whether the twins really get along (which pair of twins hasn't?) and which twin is late the most often... do people think they take stats on themselves?
Wow, those are important questions. I'm glad people get paid to ask those questions.
It's just what I need to push me over the edge and make me throw my TV set out the window one day.
