From: Jane Galt on 27 Jun 2010 21:24 Not to mention the pervasive communist-socialist influence in Hollywood: http://vivirlatino.com/2007/06/26/cameron-diazs-purse-pisses-off- peruvians.php Cameron Diaz�s purse pisses off Peruvians 1:52 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo � Celebrities|Fashion|Peru|Politics 26 Jun 2007 diazperu-cp-201618.jpgCameron Diaz is saying sorry today for a cultural faux pas related to her choice of purses. Last week she was photographed at Machu Pichu sporting a Maoist-themed bag which stirred up all kinds of emotions: The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated �Shrek� films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru�s Andes on Friday carrying an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words �Serve the People� printed in Chinese, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong�s most famous political slogan. The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some world capitals, but in Peru the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead. Not even to mention the fact that Mao killed 70 million chinese.

( like for example Glenn Beck ) 90% of the media leans socialist, yet Fox News having free speech is like pouring water on the wicked witch to you types. -- - Jane Galt |
