Beckham-mania! Posh and David take the US by storm

The arrival was like royalty - except that no king or queen ever had such a welcome, at least not in Los Angeles. Posh and Becks are of course much, much bigger than royalty.

In an atmosphere of fevered anticipation that went to hysteria and beyond, David and Victoria Beckham set foot on US soil together for the first time early today as they began their new life as America's Mr and Mrs Soccer.

I find that a bit hard to believe. Really, who cares? Soccer isn't even a big thing in the States.

Sorry I haven't even posted a proper article. Having lots of Friday 13th style problems today at this end! I hadn't even realised the new thread posting had gone through at first!!! Aargh.

No kidding. I wonder if this is a UK article? Mr. and Mrs. Soccer?

It must be from the UK. I saw her on the Today show yesterday (pre-taped) and she is doing Jay Leno tonight, I believe. I think "they" are trying to create a frenzy.

Sweetie · July 13th, 2007, 09:11 AM

I like both of them.

I don't mind her and he is hot as hell.

He should not be allowed to speak though. He has worked with a vocal coach but still has the oddest voice.

A*O · July 13th, 2007, 09:15 AM

He's had his teeth whitened. I doubt she bothered because she never smiles anyway.

Mania?

There's no mania whatsoever.. nobody on this side of the pond, aside from recent european immigrants, gives a rat's ass about soccer/football or some android spacehooker and her fembot husband.

Wow. Once again, you put it so perfectly! I bow down and worship thee oh might Grimm! I am not worthy!

"Fevered anticipation"? Pur-lease. Did anyone even notice these two assholes had even landed here? And they're acting as if the Beckhams have never been to the U.S. Wasn't her stupid ass reality series shot here?

Grimmlok · July 13th, 2007, 10:38 AM

Hysteria and beyond? Yeah, that describes the tone of this article.

Tater Tot · July 13th, 2007, 11:29 AM

They haven't done anything yet to make me dislike them. Plus, Becks is hot as #$%@!. The more coverage of him, the better, imo.

Grimmlok · July 13th, 2007, 11:33 AM

What, Vicky Bolt-on-boobs posing with that idiotic "i'm hot and sultry" face, dressing like a total chav, and generally being as fake as possible isn't enough for you?

I don't know of anyone that actually cares, but the L.A. news stations have been all over this. It's pretty sickening. The newscasters fawn all over them like they're the second coming or something.
