Okay, this is getting out of hand.
First Mary-Kate Olsen was given ample inches in the New York Times to sing the praises of her favorite Chanel purse. Now, the Washington Post has followed suit by allowing Angelina Jolie space to wax poetic about her superficial interests as well.
The similarities between the two pieces are uncanny, and frankly, disgusting. Check it:
We don't care about all the exciting times you've had in your lives, okay?
Mary-Kate, in "Timeless": I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister Ashley. I wore it to an event and never gave it back.
Angelina, in "Justice for Darfur": As a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, I have traveled into Darfur before, and I had hoped to return. But the UNHCR has told me that this camp, Oure Cassoni, is as close as I can get.
It's all about physical appearances with you, isn't it?:
Mary-Kate: I don't have a stylist -- I'd rather just do my own thing and put together my own outfits.
Angelina: I've seen how aid workers and nongovernmental organizations make a difference to people struggling for survival. I can see on workers' faces the toll their efforts have taken.
Death? I thought celebrities were all about immortality
Mary-Kate: When I find a bag I like, I tend to wear it to death until I become obsessed with another one.
Angelina: By every measure -- killings, rapes, the burning and looting of villages -- the violence in Darfur has increased since my last visit, in 2004. The death toll has passed 200,000; in four years of fighting, Janjaweed militia members have driven 2.5 million people from their homes, including the 26,000 refugees crowded into Oure Cassoni.
You know what? Save your "life is a bowl of cherries" speech for your friends who, like you, have millions of dollars and a fabulous life
Mary-Kate: I look at everything with a designer's eye, but I wouldn't change a thing about this bag. I think that's why it's a true classic.
Angelina: History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity.
Seriously, these skinny, superficial bitches are one and the same, aren't they? It's sickening how "legitimate" news sources pander to their every whim now.
