Time released it’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people, and the highest ranking couple on the list, coming in at #21, was Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  Here’s what George Clooney says about them:

“they have tended to the poor and sick in Africa” and how they shelled out $1 million for the victims in Darfur, among other humanitarian efforts.

I wonder if after this came out, Brad Pitt turned to Angelina and was like “there, we did it.  We’re on the f*&king list, can we stop this now?  I just want to bang the crap out of you without having to go feed some kid with flies all over him.”

Adds Clooney, “The couple cares for three adopted children from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.

I’m gonna have to agree with their ranking on the influential list because before them, nobody was adopting kids from weird places.  Now, if you don’t have to get 9 different vaccinations before you go check out your adoptee, you’re way uncool.  The more ethnically diverse the orphan, the better.  Somewhere in an orphanage in Toledo, Ohio, a bunch of kids are crowded around one beat up copy of Time Magazine with Brangelina in it and going “you motherf*&kers.”

Anyway, I sort of figure these two are going to be the most influential couple for at least a couple years, unless a brand new couple comes on the scene.  But it’d have to be two pretty big stars.  Maybe something like this:
