Sunday, 9 September 2007 02:57 amSo, someone on my flist linked to pics of RyRo and his 'girlfriend'.
Everyone is squeeing over them, but personally, I think they're fucking awful. They look posed, contrived and very Mrs Robinson.
Now, I couldn't give a fuck about who the kid dates - I'm not even a big enough fan to know he was dating her before I saw these - but these pictures are just creepy, to me. They look like someone's thought, "Hm, what do people consider 'romantic'? Let's do that!" and in the third one, where she's straddling him, he looks like a teenage boy trying not to giggle and complain of girl cooties.
Number six looks like someone was taking a tourist shot of the bridge and some obnoxious bastards decided to stand right in the middle of anotherwise lovely photograph.
They do not look like 'candid shots', kids. They look like a little boy trying to convince himself and everyone else he knows what to do with girls. It's fucking grotesque.
Most of you are way too young to understand genuine love, so maybe that's why you mistake these crappysnaps for beautiful manifestations of it, but you're way, way off.
And yes, that is very patronising, but I don't care. It disturbs me to think that you're going to mistake this Hallmark bullshit for the real thing.
