The website is so out there that it is funny…until you think that someone out there made this, found out all the biographical information about Emma Watson, including really wierd things like likes/dislikes, photoshopped an provocative picture of an underage girl, and has a leather bound photo album that funny turns to scary about…this quick. If it is a parody, hahahahahahahahaha. Oh you silly Olsen Twins copycats. But, most likely, if there is a sad old man sitting in a darkened room cutting out pictures and sticking them to his wall then :eek: Hell how do we know the photo album is cowskin?? :eek: :eek: ---

Am I the only one that thinks that Hermione looks a little too good to be a nerdy witch? I always pictured her more like the Granger (can’t remember first name) on Recess. ---

> [@OpalCat](#): > > I don’t see the Christina A. photoshopped pic…? He’s evidently pulled it. I’m thinking he realized got farked and lots of people (taking the site seriously) are sending him threatening mail. The CA body + HG head pic probaly edged a little to close to child porn for his “it’s all a joke” deniability purposes. You’re not missing much, it was an awful photoshopped chop job. ---

“What I think is that they cut out a picture of your head and put it on somebody else’s body… I’ve done a little collage work myself.” Ah, B.D. PCU is lessened since your departure. ---

It is Gretchen from Recess who is the nerd, but her surname is Grundler, and Grendler or something similar…not that I watch the show or anything. 😛 ---

Spinelli is never to be referred to using the A word. tsk tsk That really whomps. The photoshopped picture is still there, at least my computers showing it. I still have my worries about this guy, I mean **real** worries. ---

If he honesty thinks that an 18 year old movie star will want to marry an old guy that has been obbsessed with her character since the movies came out, the guy needs to rethink some things. BTW, I have SO much better hair then she does. I bet she has frizzy hair. People only like her because she is famous.
