MONDAY, AUGUST 24 In news that shook the earth to its very core, British boy band One Direction announced today that they are, according to Us Weekly, “taking a hiatus to focus on solo projects.” Wait! Stop… stop screaming! We can barely hear ourselves think! Our 12-year-old niece Tracee Romano had this to say about the announcement: “I hate everything! I hate you, I hate the world, and I hate One Direction who doesn’t care, DOESN’T EVEN CARE!” [SLAM!] That was Tracee slamming the door, and… “How could they?” Tracee screamed, dragging her body across the floor. “How can they do this? ANSWER MEEEEE!!” “Ahem… well,” we stuttered. “Maybe they really are just taking a little break, because you know, KISS did the same thing back in…” “WHAT. IS. A. ‘KISS’?” Tracee screeched, her eyes flaring with the heat of a thousand suns. “AND. WHY. ARE. YOU. EVEN. TALKING. RIGHT. NOW?” Ooooh-kay. Thanks to Tracee for a young person’s perspective on this still-developing story, and… “YOU’RE NOT WELCOME, I HATE YOUUUU!”โฆ
