Winklevoss Twins on the News
Last weekend my boyfriend & I were flipping through channels looking for a movie to watch because my dvd player is broken. It was about midnight and he had the remote when I yelled, "stop!" at soem news channel. He stopped for a second then continued flipping because he assumed I thought it was something else or was kidding, since I never watch the news. But I made him go back because I had seen the name WInklevoss at the bottom of the screen. It was the Winklevoss twins being interviewed & I was all excited because I had been reading about them in the social network, so we watched the interview for a little while. First of all, I was amazed at how well the casting director did with finding the actor who played them; they looked and acted so similar! Secondly, I thought the interview was very interesting and kind of humorous. The interviewer was asking them about how Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea and they, of course, agreed, and then went on to say how a lot more should have done about it. Then, the interviewer was like well didn't you guys get a ton of money from the lawsuit anyway, so what's your problem? I jut s thought that was hilarious because it seems like their still wining about what happened, they got their money, a lot of money, and the law suit is over; get over it.

That is so cool that you got to see that! I agree that they should get over it. On the other hand, a lot of people let their stupid pride get in the way. Or, maybe they were trying to prolong their 15 minutes of fame?
ReplyDeleteI still can not believe they got yhat bunch of money by claiming that mark stole their ideas... There was not any written agreement or anything. I still think that is not fair. On the other hand, i was wondering what happened to his best friend Eduardo ??? I could not find any info about him because i searched alot about him after watching social network... I felt very sad about him :( but i guess he got more money than twins from lawsuit!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just an example of how evil the media is! You're probably right, Caitlin! They are just getting their minutes of fame. If the media didn't play up stuff like this (which is old news btw) than it would die away like the emotions of it probably did years ago! I'm slightly unimpressed that the twins even took part in this pointless interview. Obviously Zuckerberg won whether he really did steal the idea or not.
