it comes in pints?

About that picture: I find it comforting that I don't have a clue who she is.

This thing, held in Hollywood, might have gotten more tacky and obnoxious. I'm now wondering why they didn't do it.

I'm counting on you to keep me updated, Emily. I feel like Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill. Wake me if anything gets really ugly.

Rob,
That photograph would be of Victoria Beckham, aka "Posh Spice." You might remember her from the horrid 15 minutes of fame that the Spice Girls had about ten years ago.

Seriously, who the fuck shows up to a wedding and strikes a fucking pose to immortalize their arrival? Ultimately, it doesn't matter. I know I shouldn't let this piss me off. But this whole thing was just SOOOOOO phoney and staged it's INFURIATING how much time the media has spent covering it as if it weren't all one big fucking joke.

Sorry for all the cussing. But jeebus, what kind of assholes go to weddings just to be seen arriving? Half of those people probably weren't even friends of theirs.

And the other half were people who were pressured into it (*BrookeSheilds*) by the Hollywood Branch of Super Adventurers. Of course they struck poses - it's just who some of them are. The sucking need to be admired causes the pose whenever they're around cameras.

I think you'd really appreciate the link you'll find in my post of November 20 over at fracas. It's a site I'd found long time ago that seemed appropriate to share with everyone again now.

I know... it's something we all knew anyway. It just takes special times like these to remind us.

Now excuse me while I vomit. I hate it when it gets all over the keyboard.

Fracas,
I love that site.

Like I said, ordinarily I'd take the "who cares" line and leave these phoney jerks to their phoney charades, but in this case, these people are shilling an extremely dangerous and exploitive cult. I have to care. A lot of people get seriously hurt as a result.

Yes.. if it were only celebs that get sucked in I'd also say who cares; so what if they have yet one more place to congregate together in their own la-la lands of how important they are because they know how to strike a pose like Vickee baby there. I'd like to think that Tom is such an example of how freakishly stupid these things make a person, that no 'normal' non-celebrity would get sucked in but alas, there are always those people who give celebrities way more credibility and importance than they deserve just because they have money and a recognizeable face.

That's just another reason I felt I should share the link again.

S*********y... it's about as real as Angelina Jolie's everlasting love with Billy Bob Thornton.

Fracas,
It's not a very good idea to type that word outloud. They're very vindictive towards their critics and have armies of slave labor trolling the internet on the hunt for them. I can't afford to have these people on my back. Hence the edit.

Emily - have you seen the Go Fug Yourself girls analysis of Posh Spice's entire brigade of outfits over the wedding weekend? HYSTERICAL!!

I'll be right back, red....

OMG, Sheila...that was hilarious. If that woman picks out her own clothes, she's dumber than I thought. What was up with that tu-tu thing? Seriously, Posh? You're almost forty years old. Have some fucking dignity.

"TomKat Contract Fulfillment Ceremony"

These two are going to get wrung through the shitter for the rest of their lives.

The whole "Yeti" commentary made me laugh out loud - but I also loved:

"and the death of a family's hope".

HAHAHAHA

I know...hahahaha. Though I think they might not mind the bundle "Kate" is set to grab from Snoozey McCouchboy when they inevitably divorce.

First big, flashing neon sign that your marriage is creepy, phoney, and that nobody believes or supports it is when your father-in-law to-be authors the prenuptual agreement.

Then the schmuck has the nerve to go on the talk shows and talk about how great he gets along with her family. Yeah, I'm sure they just adore you for recruiting their good Catholic daughter into an alien cult under contract.

Glib. You're being glib.

Can't you people accept that they're really in lov ...

Aw, I can't event type out the joke.

I'd rather be glib than a brainwashed clam!

Though I have no doubts that the Snooze is quite in love with himself.

Thanks for the edit then Emily, I honestly didn't know that. I'll remember in the future.

It will take me a few minutes to get over the sheer stupidity of it though. Anything that can't stand up to a critic, is something that's based on not much but I guess anyone who pays attention to history understands that.

Oh, be VERY careful when it comes to these people, fracas. If you publicly criticize them, even slightly question any of their doctrines or beliefs, you will wake up one morning and find every car parked in the neighborhood where you live tagged with a flyer that has nothing but your picture with the word "PEDOPHILE" beneath it. That's how absolutely ruthless they are. The horror stories you can read at xenu.net (link, top right) are stunning.

It's a good thing that I stopped following The Snooze™ after "Top Gun", else I'd be forced to get mad. ;-P

But, yeah, the pomposity displayed at this ceremony makes Congress look like a Bible study group.

The New York Post had the best headline - "Tying the Nut." And who was it who said that Tom was taller than Katie because he was standing on the prenup? BWAHAHAHAH!

Oh geez Emily. I went and googled after I read your post to me. Seriously, I owe you an entire red velvet cake (from Judy over at Let Them Eat Cake) for the tip.

You know, I'm a Catholic and we get a LOT of ridicule for things. I've never once thought to do anything mean to anyone who chooses to be a critic of that. I guess I figure that if I can't answer the critique in a productive way, then it is I who needs to learn. I would never think to be nasty just because someone questioned my beliefs.

Guess I'll just stick to making fun of Nigel Fisher for his statements about spanking. I doubt Nigel will show up at my door but if he did... I'd probably just spank him. Rotfl.

fracas,
That's one of my biggest beefs with atheist types who will argue all the Xenu stuff about the clams isn't any more absurd than Christian doctrine or beliefs. Fair enough point, except people can and have written critical essays about the Catholic Church, and the Pope has never dispatched thuggish minions to ruin their lives. It's not what they believe, but what they DO in the name of those beliefs that I take exception to.

Well, that and Elron Hubman was a lying, no talent megalomaniac and his "theories" are some of the sloppiest and dumbest things I've ever read.

I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, but they had an entire FLC orientation/recruitment film on youtube a while back. I managed to download the whole thing and would be willing to share except I fear the destruction that would fall upon your laptop.

It's disturbingly hilarious or hilariously disturbing. It ain't right, that's for sure.

I ran across one of the cult leaders books today in an old box of stuff. That mega-boring ultra-longwinded Battlefield one. What a piece of crap that was.

And to thing that these people follow that jackass, in a religious way?

But - my more pertinent point: Celebrities are really sad when you think about it. What is left when they are no longer "pretty"? Nothing.

They can no longer love themselves once forced to look in the mirror at their aged visage, and they never cultivated actual friends or relationships so they are completely alone.

Sad.

thing=think

I think.
