Desperate Filipinos
The Philippine government is to seek an apology from the producers of the hit US television series "Desperate Housewives" for a racial slur against Filipino medics, the Philippine Daily Inquirer said on its web site Wednesday.
The officials cited a recent episode where actress Teri Hatcher, who plays Susan Mayer, asked whether the person attending to her during a medical consultation "can I check those diplomas because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Philippines."
I have a theory about this.
I am told - by Filipinos - that Filipinos love America and embrace its traditions. They are also hard working Christians.
Need I say more?
"...because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Gaza Strip."
"...because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Beijing."
"...because I want to make sure that they're not from some med school in the Havanna."
Mmm Hmm... I wouldn't suggest that you hold your breath until you hear any of these three statements coming out of Hollywood.

Mehe, the 'we despise Hollywood for their liberalness' theme is a) lame, b) tired and c) lame.
I think they chose a south-east Asian country, purely at random, because that area is stereotypically associated with bad medical practices and such.
Intimation of Christian-ey goodness: 1
Number of references to The Left: zero.
Sorry, just keeping track. It's fun y'all!
and to think that i found that line comical when watching the show.
