A comment on the Andie haters

I've just been browsing through a number of the threads on this board, and I have to say I'm a little puzzled. Just what is it about this woman that seems to inspire such a peculiar and apparently irrational hatred? To my mind she's just a not-particularly-good-but-not-absolutely-dreadful-either actress who specialises in lightweight romantic comedies. And happens to be extremely beautiful. To read some of the comments from folks hereabouts you'd think she'd burned down your houses, drenched the embers in the blood of your loved ones and sowed the ground with salt - at the very least. I can't help but notice much of the more vociferous Andie-baiting comes from the female side, and that makes me wonder just how much jealousy comes into play here. Come on, people - we live in a world crammed to bursting with real evildoers, so save your detestation for those who really deserve it - and leave Andie alone!

"That, - Captain Bligh, - that is the thing; - I am in hell, sir - I am in hell."
