The Pitts
Has everybody seen the MTV train wreck known as
I Want A Famous Face by now? Specifically the one with the pathetic twins who wanted to look like Brad Pitt? Oh. My. God. What deluded morons. All they needed was a good sized tube of Clearasil (personality transplants wouldn't hurt, either). In fact, I thought the brothers looked
worse after their makeovers - weirdly feminine and fake.
The worst part was that these guys were from Phoenix! Actually, it looks like the show was taped in nearby Scottsdale and Paradise Valley (at least that's where the Less Than Zero teen party was) - which is definitely not Phoenix. I recognized Rolf's hair salon. Rolf is a local celebrity, known for sculpting TV anchorwoman-like hairdos onto Scottdale's most prominent trophy wives. It figures he was there to give the Pittalikes girly blonde tresses.
This episode proves why we never venture over to that side of town. Most people there are all fakey-fakey and image concious and thinking they're stylish when they aren't. Blecch.

Oh my God, was that not a major horror show? I had to watch it twice...and then I saved it on the TiVo to show friends.
I think the boys wouldn't have looked so pathetic if thay had said "I want to look like Coju from Entertainment Tonight." Because I gotta be honest--that's how they ended up.
In all seriousness, I was struck by the magnitude of their self-loathing and their willingness to parade it on TV. Truly frightening and fascinating.
that show and many others perpetuate the repetition of our self absorbed culture
Since we have tvs at work, my entire office watched it in horror. That show is the true definition of shock and awe.
Yes I saw that show too and I still can't get the image out of my head of the surgeon slicing the nose divider and lifting it up.
well, first of all i saw the show for a second after they got "worked" on, but so far today 2 people yesterday 3 people and i was in vegas last weekend 6 people thought confronted me, asking if i were one of the twins.. are they really that bad looking? this is just for me to know.
