hm. I definitely don't think they're ugly, but not my type.

Not near tall enough.

Who cares what they look like, they're Scrooge McDuck rich!  They can fill the great lakes with pennies and swim through them!  If I've learned one thing in life, which I haven't, it's you marry rich chicks no matter how they look.  It's worth it.

I could completely marry one of the Olsen twins. Sure we could only have multiple birth children (both of us being twins and all), but with her money we could afford it. Then we could take our twin children and make them into little billionaires like their mom.


What I'm curious about is whether the intelligence from your family would override the lack of intelligence that they seem to have in spades.

No offence Fuzzy but that's probaly the dumbest thing you've ever said.  They are incredably smart, they not only run their company but they choose all the prodects they market.  And they've been increadbly successful at it.  They're not floozys that just try and act pritty to sell things, they're the geniuese that came up with the maketing stragety to act like floozies to sell things, and they targeted the tween market by saying you don't have to act and look like Brittney spears or Chistina Slutularia.  They may be some things, but stupid isn't one of them.

actually, genius is far too strong a word for it, seeing as they did not come up with their strategy. They were extremely lucky to have run into an agent who not only gave them a good contract instead of one where he controlled the marketing and image, but also helped them develop a wholesome image for their profit. They had a VERY unusual contract for a starting child actor. It has little or nothing to do with their own capability.

They run their entire business?  BS.

Have you ever read an interview with them?  They barely come across as coherant.

Wow, I didn't know you felt a need to defend the Olsen twins Spriggan,. But saying that thats the dumbest thing the Fuzzy's ever said was kind of mean.  So she thinks the twins are stupid... so what. They certainly seem stupid, (at least their movies and interviews show them as pretty dumb).

Well, movies are characters, not the actual person.  There are a lot of inteligent actors/actresses that play "the stupid ones" over and over again, it's what they're good at.

As for the interviews, that's where their real personalities should show, so saying that they're stupid because of an interview would be a perfectly acceptable deduction.

Also, even if they completely ran their own buisness, have you seen what they sell?  It doesn't take a "genius", and especially not two, to make and market that crap.  You shouldn't be calling the Olsen twins smart because they can sell stuff, you should be calling their consumer market stupid.

The Olsen's decision to market their own line of clothes through Walmart was brilliant. Course, they did have a lot of help in making that decision. Still, it proves that they can think straight everyone once and a while. So, I give them at least the intelligence of a stopped watch.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

No, right only once a day, you gotta split that two up for the both of them.  He didn't say I give each the intelligence of a stopped watch, now did he?

I will relent and say that they are probably as smart as the average American.
