    I like that money supermaket advert where the guy advises one of Jedward to go solo but keep his bother "for spare parts". :)

    On a seruious note though: am I the only parent that looks at Jedward and expetriences a deep, existential fear that my kids might turn out like that?

    What would you do?

    Would you still love them as much as a normal child?

    Yes, if I had kids, I would worry that they would grow up just wanting fame for fame's sake like those muppets.

    But in fairness, how often do you see identical twins walking together....

    Quite regularly if you're pissed out of your skull.

    I think that is so cute. I have to recommend the Never mind the buzzcocks episode with Jedward and Jack Dee, very very funny. They are annoying but endearing all the same.

    Not to be too serious in a "fun" thread - the kid is hardly stupid. He worked out that the Jedwards were twins, presumably without being told they were ( or his mum would have said " those two are twins, instead she told them their name) , saw other people who looked exactly the same on the street and assoicated their exact same ness with what he thought was the name for twins.

    Thats clever*. Book university.


    * unless he is like 8+, or something, but she said young.

    I thought worse things when I was a child. Until I was about eight I thought that 'snot' was a swear word and that 'n*gger' was the polite word for it. Amazingly no one in my family set me straight.

    I'm not trolling by the way. That's honestly what I thought. :(

    Just like to point out that I never called him stupid. In fact, I think why it depresses me is because he's not stupid. He's 6 or 7.

    I can think of worse things. He's just a kid. He's almost endearing. However - if he's still referring to twins as Jedwards when he's in his late teens while wearing tracksuit bottoms and a tight haircut with a very low, prominent brow with indian ink tatoos and no prospect of getting a job or going to college because he was kicked out of school prior to his junior cert and smokes weed down by the canal with his mates and spends his dole in the bookies and cycles a stolen bike and hangs around outside the local spar with his other mates and spits on the ground and goes 'what's da storeee bud' in an agressive fashion to people he doesn't know and sits on the back of the bus smoking cigarettes then I'd say you need to nip that behaviour in the bud. Bud.

    Well, I thought it was kind of cute but apparently at his age (6/7) he should know better. :)

    Anyway if this is to continue please refrain from throwing abusive comments around.

    Jedward are cnuts/dicks/tools/idiots and the like won't be tolerated.

    What about Louis Walsh? Surely it's our God given right to defend our country's reputation & image by abusing/killing him?

    At what age does it become weird to see twins walking around together wearing identical clothes? I saw a pair of 20+ year old twin girls walking down Grafton St in matching outfits at the weekend

    (No pics, they weren't that hot)

    My boyfriend has had a mohawk for 2 or 3 years now. One day an old lady (80 or 90) asked me if he was going for "the Jedward look".


    He was not impressed.

    should have measured her up for her coffin just to upset her.


    Thankfully me and my twin are not identical. We where made wear matching clothes the odd time though when we where kids. Fooking hated it.

    My sis and I are two years apart and when we were very small our mother used to dress us identically. :o

    Update: I thought my friend's kid was 6 or 7 but he's actually not even four yet, so maybe he's not an idiot after all! :D
