Brangelina R. I. P.

Dear Readers,

No!!!!

Say it’s not true!!!

Serious sources have just announced that it has become oober official that the super megastars of all the super megastars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, affectionately known to ka-trillions of fans as our beloved Brangelina- … are… brace yourself… GETTING A DIVORCE!!!

Why??!!!!

I HAVE NO IDEA!!!

It doesn’t make any sense at all!

Kay actually it’s not “divorce” in quotation marks because “divorce” is only for “married” “husbands” and “wives” but the only reason they didn’t get really really really married was to make a statement about how our happy funny fashionable friends need to have marriage too! And that just goes to show you how socially minded Brangelina is, just like how they adopted those ethnic kids who would of starved without them- that’s how pure Brangelina’s hearts is!!!

That’s why it makes it even more 1,000 times painful that they are breaking up for real!!!

And what will happen to their beautiful happy name??? How can you split “brange” and “lina” That’s like splitting EYELASHES and MASCARA!

What could of driven them apart? They were both sooooo dreamy hot and soooooo oober rich! With all that money-ness and hot-ness… why?

And they weren’t even shallow or selfish- they were, like, grounded in a deep spiritual connection. (These are my deep thoughts, OK?) Kay maybe Brangelina were not quite as grounded as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were- they both shared Scientology and they were both super-hot too so their marriage lasted for over thirty years (Hollywood marriage years is kind of like dog years, you know? Extra longer cause they’re whole lifes are shorter?)

But even though Brad and Angelina didn’t have the exact same religion like Tom and Nicole did, their marriage should have been even better (times 1,000!) because Brangelina were like ALL THE RELIGIONS COMBINED!

Just listen to what the female half of Brangelina said (I say “Brangelina” so much because it will soon go away… tear!)

“Brad got me this great thing for Christmas. It’s a bookshelf that has a book on every religion. That’s how we plan to raise our kids. Teach them about all religions. They can pick one or be a student of all of them. We’ll celebrate Kwanzaa for our girl. We’ll celebrate moon and water festivals for our boys. We’ll take them to temples in certain countries. Also to church.”

it's from here

See?!!!

So why, Brad and Angelina? Why did it not work out???!!!

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

P.S. Maybe one reason Brad and Angelina’s “marriage” did not work out is that they are, like many of us these days, swimming in a sea of multiculturalism. And multiculturalism isn’t as great as your schoolteachers make it out to be. Sure, espousing multiculturalism will get you friends at Starbucks and good grades in your liberal arts college courses. But where does multiculturalism lead? It leads to the dissolving of nations. It leads to the crumbling of empires. It leads to a loss of faith.

I think if Brad and Angelina were both raised say, strict Catholic and they both stayed faithful and then got married, their marriage would have lasted. Of course, if they were really long-term religiously devoted people, I doubt they would have turned into movie stars.

Now, they have worked hard in their lives and they’ve donated a lot to charity, and acting is a worthy public service, maybe, and before I criticize their marriage- or committed romantic relationship, maybe I should say- I should look after my own marriage.

Watch this video of Mark Steyn talking about multiculturalism. It's great. You can fast forward the first two minutes to get to the meat and potatoes if you want.

multiculturism has some benifits, however, as far as nicole kidman and tom cruise go, even with scientology, they should have broken up. she was to tall for him, and he's not that hot.

Ha ha ha!

Yeah, there are some benefits of multiculturalism, like nachos and matzo balls and egg rolls and stuff.

s and amberkelly,

After reading my last comment, and after reading amberkelly's comment, I feel the need to clarify. In my mind, my "ha ha ha" refered to Nicole being too tall for Tom Cruise- I think it's a very valid point, and funny and true, and I do kind of think that Nicole Kidman was always way hotter and classier than Tom Cruise ever was. Maybe it's her accent. Of course maybe I think Nicole is classier and hotter than Tom because I'm straight. But anyway, s, I hope you don't think that my ha ha ha refered to the idea that multiculturalism has benefits- because it really does have benefits, lots of them, and I'm not being sarcastic here, but I think maybe I should clarify what I mean by multiculturalism.

If "multiculturalism" means appreciating all cultures, wanting to learn about different cultures because one is generally interested in people, I think that's great multiculturalism. And seriously, nachos and matzo balls and egg rolls... those wonderful things, would they ever be available to us if our culture was insular? No. And I want my matzo balls!

But the benefits of multiculturalism goes beyond having a nice menu to choose from... I want great literature and art and customs from other cultures... and examples of governments and examples of societies... and I want some of those things next door to me... and I want to learn from other cultures and I want other cultures to learn from us. In cases of business and religion and technology and literature and government I think modern America has more to offer, say, Papua New Guinea, than Papua New Guinea has to offer modern America. But my point is that there are good things from every culture, and I think we all would be better off if we learned about those things.

But if by "multiculturalism" you mean considering all cultures equally great and moral... that's messed up.

And lots of times when people advocate multiculturalism what they are really doing is trying to tear down the good ship America, plank by plank.

I wonder if readers of this blog think I am purposefully ignorant or anti-intellectual... uh, a zombie-like Tea Party guy. But remember that I love people like Harry Smith and Alan Lomax and anthropologists who go out and collect artifacts and bring back tales of other cultures, and I really am interested in other cultures... and people and things from faraway places interest me. I just happen to like my own culture a lot, too.

So, my last comment was kind of sloppy, but I hope that clears things up.
