Ok. I'm pissed off. And, I'm gainfully employed after only 3 days in Hawaii (and I'm in HAWAII) so getting me pissed off should be difficult to do. I just read that a whole bunch of Philippine cry babies called in to ABC studios because in the season premiere of Desperate Housewives, Terri Hatcher's character made an off-hand disparaging remark about the quality of the Philippines' medical training. It's Terri Hatcher on Desperate Housewives for crying out loud! It's not like Anderson Cooper said it on CNN. It's a stupid, fictitious show. If Terri Hatcher's character wants to rant on and on about how Hitler did the world a service, or about how Rosa Parks was an uppity woman, who gives a shit? It's just make believe. That woman (whoever Terri plays, I don't pay much attention to that show) isn't actually going around telling people that the medical programs of the Philippines are sub-par. And, the fact that there are 30,000 people who signed an online petition to have ABC publicly apologize just goes to show that the world is full of card-carrying retards. And that is a disparaging statement that deserves some uproar because it is an insult to retarded people! I'm sure that enrollment in medical programs isn't going to plummet in the Philippines because of this show. In fact, I don't think this show really has any impact on the world at large. So, these cry babies are just shooting themselves in the foot by flagging this issue. If they could hold off on a knee-jerk, bleeding-heart reaction, no one would even have cared about any of this. But, as it is, now we all have to read about it, and then feel bad because a fictional character doesn't value the medical programs in the Philippines. Seriously, if this show is an affront to anyone, it should be housewives.
Ugh. Peace out.
