Two letters regarding a couple of my pet peeves

[apocalypsos]

Dear media,

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise have two children. Yes, they are adopted. No, we don't give a fuck. So why is it necessary for every bloody article in which their children are mentioned to refer to them as adopted?

I'm sure they don't introduce them to people as "our adopted children". So shut the fuck up.

Sincerely,

Me

Dear Captain Asshat,

Jesus, listen to what I'm saying. The nickname Gidget is not a fucking reference to my looks. No, I don't look like Gidget. I am small, I'm a brunette, and I'm cute, but the Gidget thing is not about that. It's a personality thing, so stop arguing with me for five fucking minutes about something so idiotic.

Troll Princess is also a nickname, too, but it's not because I'm pudgy, green-skinned royalty.

They're in reference to my personality. Perhaps if you had a personality, you'd understand.

Urgh.

Sincerely,

Me

Kinda like that dad in The Royal Tenenbaums, "This is my adopted daughter, Margot Tenenbaum" *g*

See, and all this time I could have sworn you were blonde.

Well, sometimes I am. Right now, I'm a dark auburn-ish.

I think they refer to them as adopted as a way to get "Tom Cruise is a flaming queer and he doesn't fuck women, no, not even to beget offspring!" and/or "Nicole Kidman is frigid and barren!" into the article without actually writing that.
