There aren’t many people that get under my skin, but the Pierson Twins drive me nuts. If you’re lucky enough to not live the NEFLA area, then you can probably stop reading now. The Pierson Twins are about 10. I’m no expert on gauging kid’s ages, but that is about right.


Anyway, their father, in some lapse of parental judgment, puts them on television and has them dress exactly alike and speak in unison endorsing his Toyota dealership. Imagine the voice delivery and charisma of the Borg from Star Trek the Next Generation. Ok, too geeky for you? How about Kevin spacey yelling monotone into the Grand Canyon and the resulting echo. Then the fact they look like Monchichis
tells me they truly are the type of kids ONLY a parent would think are cute enough to be on TV.


OK, so why am I poking fun at little kids? Mostly because they have absolutely no inherent talent or good looks and their dumb ass parents still parade them on TV. It kind of isn’t their fault. Yet I’m sure they eat it up. They are probably quite popular and full of themselves. So maybe I’m just the type of bitter fat nerd they enjoy tormenting. Either way, far more people are going to see them on television then will ever read my blog. So in all honesty, they have the public’s attention, I don’t.

Luckily their parents are smart enough to keep their picture off the web. I wanted you to see what they look like, but minus the snappy delivery, their charm is really lost on anyone outside of the signal of our local stations. I had the pleasure of seeing them in person at Target a few weeks back. They were wearing matching pink track suits. I pondered for a moment and wondered if they in fact do talk in unison. I even considered going up to their mother and telling her just how moronic they are parading their talent-less offspring on the tube.

Of course my better judgment kicked in. They are, after all, kids. I just wonder why a parent would subject their child to the public eye. I’m sure the vast majority of people come up and say nice things about how cute their kids are. The rest of us can not get behind that lie, so we say nothing and ignore these mini celebrities. Luckily their parents have enough good sense to keep their pictures off the net. Maybe the parental instinct will kick in and they’ll get the sense to take them off the television too.
