Today, I happened to turn my tv to channel 10, only to find out that Oprah was on. Now usually when I think of the Oprah show, I think of the heartwarming stories that I really don't want to see, cause they make me sad. Today was no different. When I turned on the tv, I got really interested in a story about a woman who last year, was viciously mauled by a friend's chimpanzee. The gruesomeness of the attack sent shivers down my spine! However, it wasn't the detailed description of the attack that really brought me to tears. During the interview, Oprah asked the woman about revealing her face to the world. The woman replied that she would on the Oprah Show because she thought it to be the most tasteful way of approaching this difficult issue. However, what she said next made me utterly sick!
Oprah asked the woman why she insisted on wearing a veil to cover her damages. The woman replied by saying, "There are people who are constantly trying to take my picture to place on the cover of a tabloid. The price for a picture of my damages are extremely high! And I don't want to scare people."
The fact that there are people in our society that would try and invade someone's privacy to that extend truly upsets me. And also, the fact that they are willing to pay to expose the life-altering damages to the world in such a inappropriate manner is revolting! Not only that, but the fact that the victim of the tragety is concerned about scaring people; or the fact that she is even thinking about the harsh reaction of other people at all! What kind of person would look at this woman in a negative light? It brings tears to my eyes and really makes me think long-and-hard about the American society! In my opinion, this woman should be openly accepted and everyone should do their best to attempt to return her life as close to normal as possible.
How could you be so heartless?!
Anyway, sorry about the rambling, I just had to get that off my chest! But okay, I have a confession; I love love love RuPaul's Drag Race! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, It's a show that comes on VH1, starring a bunch of men that love to dress up like Drag Queens! And for some reason, I find the show extremely addictive! So if you have some time, watch it. If you can get past the idea of men dressing up like woman; you'll love it! Also, I would like to announce that I think I'm no longer a trainee at Chili's! I believe that I've finally moved up to official Hostess! It's very exciting! On another note, today is St. Patrick's Day! So of course I wore green today! In my opinion, if you didn't wear green today, you have no holiday spirit; and therefore, cannot be my friend! Well, not really; but still, you should have worn green!
Alright, I'm off to start my Spanish project! ewww.
