Look out Martha, Oprah: Here Come Mary Kate and Ashley
Until very recently, I regarded the Olsen twins, the blonde sisters who got their start tagteaming the role of homely toddler Michelle on Friday night fright show Full House, primarily as good fodder for cheap jokes. But more and more, I'm tranfixed by their lucrative cultural/brand empire: movies, magazines, dolls, make-up, People magazine cover…where does it end? Now comes proof that they're an unstoppable force: They've got their own Internet hoax.

A similar rumor was floating around here at Penn State. I'm the Prez. of the College Libs here and always read the Hit&Run Daily. Good laughs - and serious insights.
Here's the story form hte School Newspaper here:

(BTW - Don't take any of the school newspapers' writting too seriously. It's usually HORRIBLY biased. I know poeple that 'work' for it - and it's run by very slanted thinking editors (students as well) and they let it show many times in their selective coverage)
...where does it end? Porn, I hope.
