I manage to stay pretty far removed from celebrity culture - BTDT, raised in Beverly Hills.

But I do have Defamer in my RSS reader; it's the kind of ridiculous LA-centric stuff that I enjoy. And once in a while something there really tickles me.

In this case, two scathing emails by the Estevez (Sheen) brothers to a LA Times reporter are reproduced.

And my thought on reading them wasn't that they were self-absorbed, thin-skinned or ill-mannered (hint: they are).

They have aol.com email addresses. In 2007, who the heck has an aol email address as primary email? Am I just too much of a geek? Don't then know anyone who would invite them to gmail, or couldn't they even just use yahoo?

Sheesh.
