Dropped call collision

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Feb. 21,2007 12 a.m.

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, Feb. 21,2007 12 a.m.

Ever since bubble gum pop took over the mass media in the late ’90s (having since declined – thank God), I’ve had a theory about the genre’s secret origins. It’s an absurd, mad theory with absolutely no evidence – but I like it. It goes something like this: Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, the rest of NSync, the Backstreet Boys, Lindsay Lohan, perhaps Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff are all products of a secret cloning project run by the Walt Disney Company.
