...in today's paper. So freaking bizarre that I must share. I think it's hilarious that they printed this at all.

what is this? e-mail?

what is this? e-mail?

I assume so, given the heading. But to whom? From whom?

I checked the Washington Post site for the article but it doesn't have any more information.

My favorite part is that the most important thing about this story is that the original is a Christian.

I think it's important that she's not engage.

Original person is very nice (not damn sexy).

I'm wracking my brain here. Anyone know how I can help slow down her "actress" career development with my website?

Don't talk about her.

ENGAGE!

I was trying to image the scale of cloning activity, but I can not.

[Kurosawa Fan]

The original has nothing with acting career? I also have nothing with acting career. Wow, we have such common!

This is pretty old. It was distributed around the internet by Serg G. way back around the time The Island was released.

So why is the Washington Post reprinting it? The whole thing is so strange.


Plus, she wasn't engaged back then... ?

Is this something the Post does with frequency? I kind of like the idea of it. It's like a public shaming for people who send these things. Or would be if they read newspapers.

Also, I'm an idiot for not seeing the The Island connection right off.

I think that line is new, and it is likely that the wanker is perhaps trying to start this up again. Google it and you'll find some of his comments on websites dating back to '06.

The Post, i.e., the Best Newspaper Ever, doesn't have a regular column for things like this, but they do tend to put in humorous or silly things if you look closely enough. Other than that, it's a serious-minded major metropolitan newspaper.

For instance, this completely ridiculous article that they printed in the Style section a few weeks back:

The Prince's Hair: What A Great Part

By Hank Stuever
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, May 17, 2008; Page C01

Some of us in the Style section (well, one of us) would like to say something about Prince Caspian's hair, as seen on the head of 26-year-old British actor Ben Barnes in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," which opened yesterday, and can also be seen on movie posters pasted up around town and in newspaper ads.

What we want to say about his chestnutty, floppy, feathery, David Cassidy-derived hair -- without having to go through the charade of scheduling an interview with the actor and subjecting readers to the many hundreds of words about conditioners and layering that could needlessly result -- is that we think Prince Caspian's hair looks really, really good. Some of us (well, one of us) would give anything to get our hair to do what his does, especially while wearing a suit of armor on horseback during battle scenes and in other on-the-go situations.

We congratulate everyone involved with Prince Caspian's hair.

That is all.
