They’re Babies
I have already read enough about the baby Brangelinas that I can’t take it anymore. I think that Knox and Vivienne are beautiful and their parents are beautiful and, well, they’re a happy family adding a couple of miracles to their mix. Whoop. I can’t exactly get excited because, quite simply, they’re just babies and there are plenty of gorgeous babies born every single day. Hopefully these two babies will grow up with philanthropic tendencies- a la their parents. The world will be a better place.
What’s getting on my last nerve is seeing the People cover reprinted all over the ’sphere. There are all kinds of announcements about Babies Jolie-Pitt and the OH-SO-Cute pictures coming out. Guess what? Millions of people aren’t even going to see your little “scoop” (thanks a lot, Google Trends) and are going to get their fix the old fashioned way. If there are already 2,000 articles about the cover of People, why not take an angle that’s slightly unusual? Why not use the cover as a way to discuss what the Pitt and Jolie have accomplished with their time and money and how they’re going to influence their children and millions of others to do something along the same lines? Or talk about the insanity of a magazine spending $14 mil just for a few pics. Yikes! Seriously? What the hell is going on with that nonsense? There are a couple of different ways this particular story can play out. Why not use them?
I stack my DVD collection on the shelves of two different tv stands and neither of those stands has many Pitt or Jolie movies. I liked Pitt in “Thelma and Louise” and “Se7en” and Jolie rocked “Tomb Raider”, but other than that? There’s not a whole lot of interesting material between the two- except for their activities off camera. Their philanthropic work is astounding and should be commended. Instead, the blogger gossip mongers are going to town on the number of their growing brood and some pictures. Again I say “Whoop”.
I would take the high road here and write a small article about Jolie and Pitt’s efforts to help ease poverty, get New Orleans back to it’s former self, and end the Darfur atrocities, but this post is about the bloggers blogging about the babies. Why is no one interested in the good going on?
