Theres a Famous AFL (Australian Football league) Player named "Ben Cousins".
He was quite a roll model until recently where he got caught a couple of times with drugs.
I forget how it all started but he was sent to rehab and all...and now alot of people here in Perth, Western Australia, hate him.
I disagree basically because my name is "John Couzens" and our last names are pronounced exactly the same.
I'm sure alot of people on cb havn't heard of him, besides those who live in Australia.

Alot of people when they find out my last name they, no matter what you say, hate and riducle me.
Where as before people would ask me if Im related to him, but of course i'd say no.
but i've gotten used to it

i was wondering if anybody else had a similar problem??

Well, my last name doesn't sound like anyone's who is famous. Uhh, if you knew my last name you'd probably laugh at that. There are lots of people around where I live with my last name and some shady people on my dad's side of the family, so whenever they do something I'll have people ask "Are you related to him?"

Moving this to the Lounge.

why were you ridiculed. i dont see how someone can make fun of your last name. i like how its spelled differently.

People used to ask me all the time, "Hey are you related to Jennifer Lopez", or sometimes Jlo, because my name is Marlon Lopez.
I've gotten used to it. I just say no.

Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton. There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

i don't really know
there are some real jerks around here
i dont really care much anymore

Office Space mmm

My last name is Vaughn.
Every year when I was in school the new teachers would ask me if I am related to Stevie Ray Vaughan or Vince Vaughn.
My fiance is a Clooney. When he had a home phone people would actually call and ask for George/Nick.

HAHAHAH I love that Michael bolton.

no
just the neighborhood
i dont have a job
plus im only 16
i dont plan on gettin any kind office job

My last name is Simpson and people always ask is I'm related to OJ Simpson or The Simpson or Jessica Simpson and her sister. I hate it.

I hate how the pick on you though but I know how you feel.
