You know, I could add to this thread several rather beautiful pictures of Jewel and Claire Danes, but I won't. I won't put the other ladies in this thread at the same lofty heights of Jewel and Ms. Danes.
But I will offer my thoughts on Mandy Moore:
I think she's not that unattractive -- kinda cute actually. And her music is probably the best (least annoying) of the teen-pop genre; my conscience doesn't weep every time I hear a song of hers on the radio.
The bad news is, she's not exactly a cultural icon the way Britney, Christina, Jessica, or Beyonce.
When the bottom falls out from this teen-pop crap, she'll probably fall with it.
And I'd like to remind all the guys about her age and to emphasize this bit of wisdom:
FIFTEEN GETS YA TWENTY.

"You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're goin' up against. By God, I do. We're not just gonna shoot the bastards, we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy...bastards by the bushel."
