Mood: irritated by my stupid cold
Song stuck in head today: None

Update! 9.25 pm
Ok this totally bullshit post found on the VH1 forums totally pissed me off. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL??!! "Someone" sure have loads of time on their hands to do something moronic like this. Dude, you on drugs or something? Because you sound pretty delusional. GET A LIFE.

Hanson's Propaganda Machine

Quite positively the most propaganda laden media machine in motion these days is the one rumbling behind the scenes of Hanson. What began as 'rumor control' in the early 00's turned into a full out flying facade which has nearly crashed and burned at least three times since. Anyone who's anyone in the Hanson fan circles is aware even now that their managements attempts at building a new image for the three guys failed miserably.
With an 'All Access' VH1 special airing in the winter of 2003/04 and an MTV Cribs episode airing months later, Hanson fans found them selves doing double takes. According to 'the guys' on VH1 all three Hansons (including Taylor and his 'wife' and son) lived together in a rented loft in New York City. However months later MTV Cribs released an episode featuring the Hansons again. Only this time, only eldest brother Isaac and youngest brother Zac lived in the same loft seen on VH1, only Taylor and his wife were said to live elsewhere in New York.

Okay so you're thinking, "Well so (middle brother) Taylor and his wife and son moved out," wrong. Not only were Isaacs and Zac's hair cuts identical to months previous (and not matching their hair at live appearances), but they even spoke about their recently wrapped music video "Penny & Me" which had originally wrapped back months ago when VH1 claimed they all lived together. Not only that but Isacc's room came complete with a baby bed and all of Taylor's wardrobe.
What was to follow was the revelation that the Hanson brothers in fact only rented the loft for a matter of months from an artist who was out of the country at the time. Fans across the nation found themselves in a bit of shock when they realized that none of the furnishings were produced or placed by any of the Hansons themselves. The entire show on VH1's "All Access" had been nothing more than propaganda designed to make Hanson look more mature and grown up.

Previously the middle brother Taylor found himself up against various rumors about his rampant open minded sexual preferences. Rumors linking him to Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet as well as countless unknown males sent the Hanson parents and managers into a frenzy. Suddenly Taylor was engaged to his 'long time sweetheart' Natalie Bryant. What the public wasn't aware of was Miss Bryant and Taylor had broken up months before just after MTV's 20th Anniversary Bash and had not seen each other since. Suddenly eight months later Taylor marries Natalie in a shot-gun wedding (which VH1 was allowed footage from the Hansons videographer Ashley Greyson) in South Georgia. What the Hansons hoped would not become obvious soon did.

According to the releases and notices Taylor and Natalie had been sweethearts for years. However as many already knew the two had a rocky relationship almost from the start. When the Hanson management filmed the wedding ceremony they never expected the public to catch on that the wedding was shot on film 'night for day' and filled with some of Central Castings best extras. Their management also had to deal with the fact that Natalie was already five months pregnant, a fact that was heavily denied by Hanson as well as their management up until it was impossible to deny.

Even the birth of Taylor's second 'child' daughter Penelope was a subject Taylor refused to confirm. When being asked to confirm he only replied "I don't think it's my place to announce to the world," which only makes even more people wonder how much more of a farce will their image become before it all falls apart.
It really is no surprise that in the entertainment industry management will work to produce a specific image for their clients. However it seems the Hansons management has failed at doing so, and failed miserably. Lucky for them the only people who believe what management has created are those who have not paid attention for the past six years.

Currently they are trying to portray an indie image. Where music is all that matters and all that ever will matter. What Hanson and their management probably hope never gets out in the USA is that they're currently in talks (to sell out) with a company in Japan as well as the United Kingdom. Apparently their funds are running dry and selling rights to their music for bubble gum and car commercials is alright, at least if no one notices. Right guys?

started as a stunt to keep Taylor Hansons image 'straight' his brothers 'more mature' and their lifestyles more 'fashionable' only turned out to make them a laughing stock to everyone who knows them. Sadly VH1 only proved they are pandering to the fictional life the Hansons wish everyone to believe as fact. This became obvious during VH1's 100 Greatest Child Stars special with Hanson at 98.
Remember, everything is not always what it seems.
Someone, who knows.

I woke up this morning to find that I could not feel my nose. Why? Because I fell sick. Lol in answer to what Erwin asked (he asked how come I was falling sick): I contracted the flu virus and it is now invading my body cells in order to make new copies of itself and thus invade more unsuspecting body cells. Gosh. See what studying Biology for a whole week can do to you. So I basically stayed at home doing nothing. NOTHING. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Nada. Zilch. You get the picture. Well, I watched The Apprentice on Star World. The Pepsi episode. It's kinda interesting. Seeing that I NEVER watch The Apprentice. It's interesting really to see how people can turn into the worst kind of characters when they lose. Yup, losing sucks but I never realised they bring out the absolute worst in people. Maybe I should lose often. That way I can actually debate well. I feel for Donald Trump for seeing that kind of fights on the show. If it was me, I'd run out of the room screaming. Guess I'm not really cut out for the corporate world.

Anyway, I hate having the freaking flu!!! It does irritating shit to your nose. I must have gone through an entire box of tissues by now. And my eyes are tearing up too! ARGH!!! Feel sympathetic for me. NOW.
