I have given up on countdowns. It's been almost 2 weeks now, and the Olsen Twins have still not called, or stopped over.

I can only conclude that they are lesbians. It's the only logical explanation I can think of.
 
2004-06-28 10:53:26 AM
Shirley Temple?? That's just wrong.
 
2004-06-28 11:01:06 AM
I chalk up the Olsen's not calling to them being a tad too busy starving themselves to death.

I guarantee if I had their kind of cash and access to the best foods in the world, I'd be anything but thin.

If there was any question whether we live in a society of tasteless and inappropriate thinkers, the headline on the "Official Countdown Site to Hermione's 18th Birthday" pretty much seals it.

"The bewitching hour will soon be upon us!"

And then we're all going to hell.


This may be one of my favorite passages of all time.

Annette Funicello was kinda bangin' when she was young

/21 years old in 2004

What about those of us who are already in hell? That makes it ok then, right? Right???

"The Web has also sprouted countdown clocks ...and multiple sites for Emma Watson, the 14-year-old who plays Hermione in the "Harry Potter" movies (April 15, 2008)."


She will surely grow up to be a pretty woman. Man, if I ever have a daughter, I hope she never gets any of my ugly genes.

I don't know about the rest of you, but when that little "i see dead people" dreamboat from "The Sixth Sense" and "AI" turns eighteen, I'm gonna Take. That. Ass. To. Town.
 
2004-06-28 02:40:00 PM
Annette Funicello has fake boobies too?
 
2004-06-28 02:40:06 PM
Alright, I will be the first. I wanna see some Lindsay Lohan pics. Anyone want to help me get through this boring Monday with a few shots of some underage goodness?

I think back then, it was to genuinely celebrate them becoming an adult.

Now, it's just so some obese, bespectacled, LIGHTNING BOLT casting, mouth-breathing, slack jawed, parent's basement living, cheeto breathed, unwashed, fark browsing, nerdy, uber-g33k plebian can stroke himself to his delight over the pervy pleasures of paedophilial pictures.

In many states including my home state of Michigan the age of consent is 16. I've been tossing off to many of these women for a couple years now.

Dude, that's really gay...and by gay I mean homosexual.

/not that there is anything wrong with that

Nobody ever visited my "Countdown until Pebbles Flinstone turns 18" website. It kicked ass.

/"Bam Bam Bam-Bam-Bam"
 
2004-06-28 02:48:44 PM
There is, of course, huge irony in all of this. The demographics that are most obsessed with the coming of age of hot young actresses -- basement- dwelling Internet geeks and middle-age sports talk personalities -- have the smallest chance to score with the fantastically wealthy Olsens.

I'm sure smug regional columnists have the 18 year old twizz beating down their doors.

"The Web has also sprouted countdown clocks ...and multiple sites for Emma Watson, the 14-year-old who plays Hermione in the "Harry Potter" movies (April 15, 2008)."

Pshaw, forget Hermione. When Daniel Radcliffe turns 18, I'll volunteer to hit it like a pinata.

/so very, very wrong

Pretty good article until the writer got here
"Official Countdown Site to Hermione's 18th Birthday" pretty much seals it.

"The bewitching hour will soon be upon us!"


and missed the fact, obvious to many farkers, that this particular website was a parody. Dumbass.
 
2004-06-28 02:53:49 PM
In a roundabout way, the "Hermione" countdown site comes back to haunt us.

(Also, there's a remote chance that site is a joke.)
 
2004-06-28 02:54:36 PM
The hell with the Olsen Twins ( whoever they are) I want to know when those girls who played on Full House turn 18!! I think it was Brittany Shears and her twin sister?
 
2004-06-28 02:56:47 PM
anyone know the name of the Full House middle sister. Stephanie was the character name. she had big ones.
 
2004-06-28 02:57:00 PM
Mmmmm, Annette Boobicello
 
2004-06-28 03:01:09 PM


Hubba hubba!

18 years, 9 months, and counting!
 
2004-06-28 03:04:03 PM

her rabid fanbase is slipping.

What? I... I had to look it up. I swear. What kind of loser would know something like that off of the top of his head? What? Stop looking at me like that...

I'm more of a Lori Loughlin man myself.

Julia Roberts aint go nothin on this twin-MILF.
 
2004-06-28 03:09:22 PM
screw these days till legal websites. Where is the "Days Till Bea Arthur's Vagina Dries Up" page. I want to know how much longer I have to try and hit that. I'm afraid it might be too late already

Great pic.

runnoft: ...missed the fact, obvious to many farkers, that this particular website was a parody.

How does the mention of that site -- parody or not -- make the writer a dumbass? The statement was:
If there was any question whether we live in a society of tasteless and inappropriate thinkers, the headline on the "Official Countdown Site to Hermione's 18th Birthday" pretty much seals it.
Again:
If there was any question whether we live in a society of tasteless and inappropriate thinkers...
Parody or not, that site is definitely an example of "tasteless and inappropriate thinking".

Jody Sweetin, from the post above. She got married in 2002. :(

Thank you for that viusal, Evilned. I now have to clean the puke off my monitor.

Articles like this are right out wreckless and irresponsible! To think that our modern era has not hatched the most debauched and perverse sexual obsessions in all of history is preposterous! We are going to hell in a handbasket, and your personal masturbation fantasies are worse than anything your forebearers could ever conceive of!

/except for all that sex in Rome... and Greece... and other places all over the world in every time period to pass and to come. Get the fark over sex and get on with the banging. If it says "sure, why not", bang it like a screen door and quit worrying about all the petty shiat. It was always like this and people were always whitewashing the past, don't freakin buy it.

And, 18 year old male that he will be, I'm sure you won't have to ask twice. It's different for guys

ArcadianRefugee: Tasteless, perhaps. Inappropriate, no. Puberty has 2 purposes. #1 is to make you sexually able, meaning able to reproduce. #2 is to make you sexually attractive. Nature doesn't know it's supposed to hold off looking like sex on two legs until the 18th birthday, and sometimes it launches a bit early. As a society, we can say that acting upon such thoughts is wrong, but we can't say that thinking it is inappropriate because that is the very purpose of the inevitable natural process which is puberty. Just look and smile, don't kill yourself because you wanted to bang the Olsen twins 2 days before they turned 18.

I swear I would love to meat lindsey lohan when she turns 18... whoops, i meant meet... (yeah right)

I've never heard of Lindsay Lohan. I've only seen her face once, and that's the above pic on this page. Still don't know who she is or why I'm supposed to care.

I waited for Brooke Shields to turn 18. She did, then broke my heart by marrying that tennis player, he who shall not be named.

But I'm not bitter.

Much.
 
2004-06-28 03:27:37 PM
It may be nothing new but 30+ year old men who setup countdown sites for 14 year old Emma Watson is definately creepy.
 
2004-06-28 03:29:11 PM
what movie is that lohan pic from?
i've never seen her work.
 
2004-06-28 03:30:56 PM
Never

Wow
 
2004-06-28 03:36:53 PM
I don't know what you all are whining about, she's legal for me.

/only 17
 
2004-06-28 03:41:04 PM
That pic looks like her opening dance number from the MTV Movie Awards. She hosted the show.
 
2004-06-28 03:44:53 PM
Lohan starred in the recent remakes of Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. She was last seen in "Mean Girls" and hosting SNL and the 2004 MTV Movie Awards.

Her filmography page from imdb: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0517820/
 
2004-06-28 03:47:08 PM
And then we're all going to hell.

well put...I'm gonna go buy some SPF 10 Trillion and an asbestos swim suit for the inevitable trip to the lake of fire that society is ready to embark upon.
