Is It the Rose of Mohammed All Over Again?


Last year the Moslems were all fanatically up in arms about a Danish newspaper printing what they claimed to be an offensive caricature of the prophet.

Now we have something similar brewing against a show all about promiscuity, murder along with other criminal activities and eccentric suburban behavior, asking for an apology. Most of these probably still have self-proclaimed Divalicious outcry hangover.

People can threaten to get their demands (and may get it, just to shut them up. How sincere is it then?), but it doesn't take away the fact that they're oversensitive and care more about what other people say about what they do than they do about actually doing a good job regardless of what everyone else thinks.

Where are the Marcos supporters rallying from all the jabs made by Hollywood against Imelda and her extravagant lifestyle? None to be seen.

I wonder if the reaction would have been so united if they had talked about nurses instead.
