Anderson Cooper Revealed

If you get the title to this post, you have been watching too much CNN and are sick!

Like my friend Ran, I am hooked on CNN, but really, it's all about Anderson Cooper. So I decided to wikipedia him and here is what I found. Fascinating!

Anderson Cooper:
  • Went to Yale
  • Son of Gloria Vanderbilt
  • The same Gloria Vanderbilt whose name can be found on jeans belonging to grandmas worldwide
  • The same Vanderbilt family which built the NYC/Newport, RI mansions on their famous railroad and shipping fortune
  • Youngest son of his mother's fourth marriage
  • Father, a writer, died during open heart surgery when he was 11 years old
  • Ten years later, his only brother committed suicide by jumping from the family's 14th floor apartment
  • His first foray into the journalism industry was to forge a press pass and fly to Burma to report on political unrest
  • Last year OUT magazine ranked him the second most influential gay man/woman in America

Actually, he's not gay. The gays just want him to be gay, like the straights want him to be straight. He belongs to everybody.
*sigh*
