[PrayingMantis]

Is this for real? It's hilarious.

I'll go out on a limb here and say no.

Uh, this wasn't a misprint. They used the word "billions" twice.

So uh, like um, I don't think so!

It was kinda funny tho! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rooster71]

Yea, "billions"???? right!

I was going to make a snide comment on a way they could begin to earn some of the money back. But I'm going to refrain.

By the way, they just turned 18.

[moondogg]

It would be kind of difficult for Kevin Pollack to describe the situation, considering Bravo already fired his ass. Did Dave Foley tell him the story?

[whiskeytown]

and they're now over 18 - making them LEGAL - woo hoo!!!

I call bullshit.

Nobody is that stupid.

..........

Ok... few people are that stupid... very few... there had to have been at least ONE person working for the Olsen Twins who participated in this arrangement who isn't that stupid.

So, to summarize, I call bullshit.

[J_V]

Good call gumshoe. You must have REALLY done your homework.

I am still indicting you for the thoughts you had when they were seven.

In all seriousness, people have been waiting for them to turn 18 since they were babies. It's disturbing.

While this story is obviously a joke, you might be surprised to know that the Olsen twins are worth over $300 million. They will quite likely be billionaires in the not-too-distant future. They sell a lot of stuff.

And you must not have done your homework to think I was seriously rationalizing out why it's bullshit. Notice how it went from "no one is that stupid" to "very few" to "few" to "at least someone."

i.e. I'm making fun of stupid people.

[Al_Capone_Junior]

Well SHEEEEEET I wish *I* was that darn cute cuz I ain't even worth three hundred million HALF PENCE.

[TimTimSalabim]

Hmmmm... twins, cute, worth 300 mil, just turned 18... now I finally get this whole Olsen Twins obsession!

"Nobody ever told them that they were betting their personal money," he said. "They are both devastated by this. It's bad enough that their movie bombed last week"

I doubt their own guy would come out and use the word 'bombed' when describing their movie.

If you like them plain, that is.

[RiverMel]

Clearly bogus. No way a spokesman for them would say that their movie "bombed." Plus, it doesn't make any sense anyway.

[symphonic]

last I heard, they were already worth over a billion.

Looks like they did lose their money. Only enough money left to buy meals for one. Mary Kate (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=494&ncid=762&e=4&u=/ap/20040622/ap_en_tv/people_mary_kate_olsen)
