Jon & Kate

Can Troy Patterson's Slate article be the final word on these guys?

"She is a moaning 34-year-old harpy with highlights as wide as mountain-bike tires sporting an asymmetrical haircut suggestive of a wounded stork. He is a sullen 32-year-old layabout whose skate-punk sideburns and gelled forelocks signal boring bad news."

I haven't even seen "Jon & Kate" but I love this quote. Slate comes up with some pretty good ones occasionally, including this one from a review of "The Love Guru":

"And once in a while there is a movie so bad that it takes you to a place beyond good and evil and abandons you there, shivering and alone."

Ouch!

Hey, they put Berks County on the map. They can't be all bad. ;) (So did Taylor Swift. She's just the opposite. Sooo sweet.)

And Keith Haring, John Updike, Chip Kidd...

Thanks for the link. I never got the appeal of that show.

The appeal was those adorable children. It was fun following a struggling mom (if only we'd known they had plenty of money even then) raise a family of child models.

I used to be addicted to that show.
