You might be mistaken in thinking it's 2005. It's not. The world has moved on in so many ways. And yet...and yet there's one love triangle that still has people speculating. This article from The Times examines why the relationship between Brad, Angelina and Jennifer still pervades into the public consciousness.

    • "This story runs and runs because it’s become about the war between two kinds of femininity — the girl’s girl and the man’s woman — and which one comes out on top in the end."

      Eh, no. This story "runs and runs" because the guardian ran a nearly identical feature a couple of weeks ago on, among other things, the lunatic frenzy of media obsession and how most of it is just prolefeed. As a result, some lazy goon in the Times got to cut and paste an easy feature for yesterday.

      If this story was a dog it would be put down.

    • Weirdly, I had a conversation in the pub on Friday about this very subject and my stance was that any interest is, on the whole, from girls rather than guys.

      I remember them splitting up and fickley weighing up who was prettier between Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, but since then I've not really given the whole thing a lot of thought. Do people really still care?

      Nobody cares this much about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman or Kylie and that French bloke.

    • This article made me puke in my mouth a little. The only reason we're still talking about this is because the tabloid media are still shoving this story in our faces. If they stopped covering it, the majority of people who think they care about it would forget in a few weeks time and focus their attention on something else. Only the die hard fans would actually go out of their way to try to follow how this "fairy tale" ends.

      "This story runs and runs because it’s become about the war between two kinds of femininity — the girl’s girl and the man’s woman — and which one comes out on top in the end."

      Is it really? Or are the media just painting that picture for us to keep us on the edge of our seats and buying more of their drama?
