For 0.2 seconds I was the happiest of slashgirls.

[amanuensis1]

Oh, bah. Stifle those squees--they haven't fallen in love with each other. Look further down on the cover. People Magazine, you're a big tease.

Oh god, that is hysterical. *sighs at the unfairness of it all*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

They are NO FUN AT ALL.

[viedma.livejournal.com]

I saw that too! Isn't that the funniest fucking thing? Those whackjobs at People. :D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I really detest that magazine in the first place--not on principle, but because I have no interest in the lives of celebrities. Let me have my artists without their real-life baggage interrupting my enjoyment of their art. I recognize that that makes me the weirdo.

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo, then.

And my initial reaction to that cover was exactly the same! I bet they did it intentionally. It's so obvious, really. ;-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Isn't it more fun to watch movies when you know zippo about the actor's personal lives? I totally think so.

[lunarennui.livejournal.com]

you posted what i thought the other day when i saw that. the people behind me in line at the store bumped into me while i stared. ...then i saw the glossy teeth of the plastic bitches below (not that the men aren't plastic too) and realized.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

We all did that, didn't we? We stopped dead in the store and stared! And then sighed with disappointment.

[lunarennui.livejournal.com]

it could have been the only 'people' issue ever to be interesting, in any way!

[mahaliem.livejournal.com]

Hee! I got that issue and cracked up, then showed it to my daughter.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It's so disappointing! :D

[melusina]

::sigh:: I went to my happy place, just for a minute. . .

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

My happy place had a tiny "OCCUPIED" sign on it, too, just for a moment...

[aviss.livejournal.com]

That is so misleading! If only it was true... I was happy for a moment.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I could pick two American actors to pair who would make me happier. :D I mean, they play such het roles, you know?

[twistedm.livejournal.com]

i had EXACTLY the same reaction.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I think we all did! And not just the slashgirls!

[twistedm.livejournal.com]

if you are right, then they did it on purpose to sell magazines. which means the idea of george cloony and matthew mcconaughey naked in bed together sells magazines. to ordinary americans. whoa...

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

just what I was thinking. Happily. Last week on Wait Wait dont Tell Me (US National Public Radio funny news quiz show, availalbe as a free podcast here: http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/) they were making jokes about slashing Putin and Bush! I kid you not. The world IS changing.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I love doing that because anyone who finds that morally offensive is usually someone I don't like and whose horizons need broadening anyway. :D Yes, I know it's more complicated than that but right now I'm boiling it down that simply, yes I am.

[delfeus.livejournal.com]

I totally LOLed. It's too bad it's not true, though.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is! Maybe it's CAMOUFLAGE! :D

[delfeus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like, why else would they choose those two for it? There must be a reason!

[twistedrecesses.livejournal.com]

You know, I saw that in the grocery store and did Not jump to happy fangirl land. Until I saw your post on my flist.

Wonder what's up with that - usually I jump on the tiniest possibility of slashy goodness.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*revokes your membership* :D

[twistedrecesses.livejournal.com]

Oh Noez!

lol. I'll fix it, I promise!

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmm. I'd still be rooting for Brad Pitt if it's George Clooney we're slashing here. >:)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't argue with that one! ^_^

[the-dala.livejournal.com]

Whoa, People...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they still have no clue. ^_^

[miya-tenaka.livejournal.com]

For a few seconds, I thought like you. Life is not fun...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It's fun in a "PSYCH!" kinda way. ^_^

[curia-regis.livejournal.com]

They obviously meant to tease us. :( Damn people!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm honestly wondering if they did or if they had no clue. I favor the "no clue" side, but I might be naive.

[scheru.livejournal.com]

I actually swore in line at the grocery store...

[http://users.livejournal.com/shadowkittykat_/]

To your icon: "I wasn't even alive then!"

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*echoes love for icon*

[http://users.livejournal.com/shadowkittykat_/]

yeah, same here when I saw that in line. gosh dern teases!!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It's not just us! I swear! :D

[mizstorge.livejournal.com]

My husband and I were snickering over this at the grocery store!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yay for the snickers! I hope everyone asked you, "What?" and that you told them how disappointed you were. ^_^

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

People is full of lies by press agencies. They probably are really in love with each other. ;)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

This is now my official version. :D

[fly-chickadee.livejournal.com]

LMAO.
Yet another reason why I degrade myself reading tabloids.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Aren't they pathetic? :D

[capri-chan.livejournal.com]

Damn them! I even read the title of your entry and realized it wasn't actually slash, and I STILL got excited when I saw the picture.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It's heartbreaking, innit?
