A Banner Year for Hanson!? Mmmkay...

Ten years after most people stopped listening to Hanson, the boys -- er, men now? -- are desperately trying to get back into your lives with a super-fun Internet contest! Please, contain your enthusiasm.

Isaac, Taylor and Zach will personally write a song about you (MmmmBob?) -- if you paste Hanson.net banners all over your personal site. Fan sites that get the most click-throughs to the Hanson site will be entered to win a song written by the funky, hunky musical gods.

Of course, with Hanson, there are no real losers -- those who don't win the grand (?) prize, will still get to keep their ultra-mega-teenarific banners. Can it get any better?
Hanson
And a little fact about the boys which you may not know; we hear that they were the worst Oprah guests ever! You might have thought it was a demanding Babs, the silent Liz Taylor or even the couch-jumping Tom Cruise. Our sources tell us that in the twenty years that Oprah's been on the air, the Hanson brothers were the most difficult guests the show has ever hosted, hands down.

TMZ, bringing you tasty tidbits each and every day.

7. Excuse me, but I (bar none) have been the most difficult guest on Oprah and I'm just as famous as the Hanson's! :D Oprah still won't take my calls! She acts as if she's never heard of me. The only ones who seem to care are Andy Dick and Gummy Bear Davis, and even they are getting to be shaky friends.

8. Most difficult guests? I am sure that this is straight from Oprah's mouth. Three artist's who have never been to jail, never been arrested, married nice girls and still are making music more than 10 years after they started: they must be has-beens.

Rock on guys! Hanson Rules!

By the way, if the contest is so lame, why is TMZ talking about it?

9. What was the Big Cow Oprahs problem with the Hansons? That they were young kids back than? Good Grief, that Woman finds difficulty in everything except eating a Cheeseburger in front of her full time Life and Health Coach Bob Green.

I find her Best Friend Gail to be the most difficult no talented sidekick since Spiro Agnew...

Shut your big trap Oprah...or you'll break into a Millon Little Pieces. You were the only one in the Country defending that author until you finally listened to your "advisors" and clued your dumb ass in----and now you want to pass the Hansons off as the most difficult guests ever in 20 years.

11. Ugh. How DARE they try to make music, and, worse yet, try to entice people to listen to it.!!! The Very Nerve of some people! Don't they know that they're no longer The Latest Thing? Of course, we can only listen to this year's music! What were these guys thinking? Next thing you know, musicians of the 80s will be inviting us to listen to their music! Clearly this must be STOPPED! Now I must go and lay down; the very thought of a ten-year-old band TRYING to make music and TRYING to bring it to the public attention has caused me to become quite faint.

:: and for those here that are not so perceptive: yes. I am being sarcastic. ;-) ::

12. 2 got married when they got their girlfriends knocked up. 1 got married because of the constant rumours he's gay, he then felt the need to sprog out 3 kids to supposidly seal the deal.
They're the most effeminate "men" I've ever seen. The middle one? Straight? Uh, NO!

And for the record, psycho-obsessed-fans, getting married does not make them good men! It makes them kids who want to play at being adults. The sooner they accept they're OVER the sooner they can go and get jobs that will actually pay the bills.

13. None of them tried to commit suicide, they aren't the hockey guys, and I doubt they were anywhere near the worst guests ever. I've met them once and they were really normal guys.

14. Well, Bella, I saw Hanson three months ago at a sold-out show in Pennsylvania. I tried telling those 3,000 psycho-obsessed fans that they should go home, because Hanson are over, and that they needed to stop playing sold-out shows and become accountants or something so that they can pay their bills. The psycho-obsessed fans wouldn't listen to me! I even told some of them that the middle one must be secretly gay based upon his appearance, which is undoubtedly the most accurate way of telling sexual orientation, and of course nobody can listen to music by gay people. They still insisted on staying! What's wrong with the world, when people listen to the music THEY like, instead of the music we tell them to like?!

::disclaimer: once again, I'm being sarcastic. I know some people can't tell.::
