Well, it's been awhile since I last wrote to you. Been busy and as I can see, so have our media. Let's see....Lance Bass is a homosexual...i'm sorry can we still say that? Anyway, WHO REALLY CARES!! Of course the biggest news is Hollywood's favorite son-MEL GIBSON.
I'm not here to defend his bonehead remarks. Heck I've had a few friends say some crazy things to me about Christians when they were drunk. As for me when I get intoxicated, I just get funny. Too bad Mel Gibson doesn't. No mojitos for him. I'm glad he has apologized and wants to meet with Jewish leaders too.
Unfortunately the so-called tolerant people don't seem too forgiving. Maybe if he would've picked up a street hooker or was a pedophile (Roman Polanski) it would've been fine. But what I don't understand is why ABC would pull the plug on a mini-series on the holocaust. Maybe the execs at ABC had a few too many to drink. Gee what would happen if Spike Lee said some things about White folks and someone pulled the plug on one of his projects. Oh wait, he has said some things but who remembers.
Yes, Mel is a public figure and that's the price one pays. But isn't a wrong response to yank a mini-series about the Jewish holocaust? I think someone let their emotions drive their intellect while being angry.
Of course as the news, talkradio, fm radio and others talk about this, it's kind of wild that the news about the shooting rampage in Seattle came and left. I'm even forgetting that a Muslim named Naveed Haq opened fire on a Jewish Women's Center and killed one woman and five others injured. Or was there any coverage about a Muslim doctor in Texas shooting a bicyclist (check it out on Little Green Footballs, Sat. 7/29/06)
But hey, the news media knows what is important and what needs to be shown. Good thing they weren't around during WWII. They would be showing injured German children and we would still have the Nazis to deal with.
