Awwww…I was hoping for a picture.
They're so darn proud of it too. It's cute.
BOFFO RATINGS!
I saw a preview clip of that movie on Hulu. I was both appalled and laughing at the Windows 98 special effects and the exceptionally terrible acting. Reading the press release, I did not know Tiffany or Barry Williams were in this thing… I just looked at the clip. Wouldn't have made a difference if I did, though, since the preview was enough for me to find something else to watch.
