    John comes across as having a brain cell. Edward sounds pretty dense.

    They are living with someone who was stoned out of her mind (tara reid) during an interview with them.

    It kind of seemed they were living rent free in her apartment.

    I don't have much of a problem with them honestly. They may not be great musicians or have anything unique to say about the pandemic, but they seem like innocent blokes that just want to join the good fight. Fair play to them I say.

    Complain about them protesting if you want but to be fair there's several pictures where they have the masks on and one with them pulled down. Most have briefly pulled a mask down when someone cant understand what your saying or whatever but not been in the scope of a photographer who's waiting for a mistake.

    I always get the impression they prefer people to keep their distance ..

    They are pleasant etc.

    The activism ..probably 70% ...maybe 10% boredom ...and 20% attention.

    They need to give it a rest. They remind me of the weird kid who makes one good joke and then repeats it for the rest of their life thinking they’ll get a laugh again, when in reality people just pity them. Theyre the turds that wont flush

    It's the natural progression for people in the entertainment industry to go to when the primary career is over.

    Jedward
    Niall Brezzy Breslin
    Emma Watson
    Meghan Markle
    Alyssa Milano
    Rose McGowan
    Ellen Page
    The Rubberbandits

    That's just off the top of my head. There are tons of them. They don't get the endorphins from performing anymore, so seek them from social media likes and praise from luvvies.

    I've been saluting them with " 'sup John" and " 'sup Edward" for the last 13 years..

    I think its more that they cannot create waves from what they did before.

    I mean you don't get saoirse ronan doing this.

    And i have prob been on more marches than jedward ....but i wouldnt call myself an activist!

    TBH politics is something i want to back away from slightly ..tis bitter and tiring.

    I don't think I've ever seen a set of twins so intertwined. They took a sentence each in that interview.
    I remember watching them in celebrity big brother... They kinda let the mask slip and you could see more of their individual personalities. I felt sorry for them, they seemed quite genuine and I think they just enjoy being a bit silly with each other. Other housemates isolated them and were really patronising. They couldn't do anything without someone picking on them. You could see how they probably revert into their twin bubble.

    Really who gives a ****e about so called Celebrities. Eaten bread is soon forgotten. But RTE hasn't got the funds anymore to attract the interesting people.

    But then again they are all self promoting anyway.

    Cynicism helps now and then.

    It's 100% attention. But that's the business they're in. More power to them.

    There is a song by the Manic Street Preachers, Tsunami. It’s about these Welsh twins that shared a really deep connection, had their own language, eventually became totally withdrawn from the world until one of them realised she had to die for the other one to live. So she did and the other one went on to live a normal enough life.

    I reckon that’s the story with Jedward. There can only be one.

    If your hate game is weak then you really need to check yourself, it’s healthy to hate something with a real passion - none of this fake **** of “ooh I don’t like them”. You need to be full on “I want to do those ***** in with a steamroller” kinda hatred.
