Olsen Twins Not Happy!
 
http://www.1up.com/article2/0,2053,1573337,00.asp

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It seems the Olsen twins are not pleased, not pleased at all with Acclaim for using their likeness, and are planning to sue for half a million. Why? Because they claim Acclaim TARNISHED THEIR REPUTATION! The twins are claiming that bad games have more or less made them laughingstocks... Not that they needed help.

Heh, whew, this had me laughing for a good long time. What do you guys and gals think?

This line is the best:

Quote:

the suit labels [the games as] "the single dark spot on the otherwise unblemished story of the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand."
Who needs comedy when reality is so funny by itself.

*Stares for a bit* Go Olsen Twins! I'm sure that Penny Arcade or someone will make a comic out of this eventually for us to all laugh at.

It's their own fault for


1. Choosing to have a game based on Mary Kate and Ashley. You expected a good game out of.....THAT?!

2. Choosing Acclaim in the first place who are well known for running licenses into the ground.

in other words......
Olsen twins making a game based on themselves= losing $1000K to some already rich company.

Cactuar:"Olsen Twins? Kill!"

For a while I also wondered why people kept making their horrid movies. Then I later found out that they own the film company that produces them. So we could see this kind of trash for the rest of our lives.

I remember poking around Gamestop looking for a copy of Lunar Blue when I happened upon that monstrousity. Just trying to find rhyme and/or reason to that game gave me a migraine. It's no surprise it flopped and they are laughing stocks. Of course, now that they are older and dressing like Britney Spears, they'll find a new demographic niche soon enough.

Celisasu 04-28-2004 01:04 PM

Oh? So now they'll pretend that they know how to sing?

Just Jon 04-28-2004 01:07 PM

No, I'm pretty sure she meant now they'll find pubescent teenage males to gawk over them. Though please, please don't give them any ideas. A music video would pretty much round out the "We can't let go of stardom that we had when we were SIX" category.

You mean adolescent boys aren't drooling over them yet?

Just Jon 04-28-2004 01:12 PM

Not -enough- because according to them, Acclaim sullied their good name. Why, if it wasn't for those bad video games, they would be stars still! What with their new movie and all. *sniff* Poor girl!

...Blech to them.
