Sept 8, 2003 I don't believe you. Your apology was the typical "my words were taken out of context" nonsense excuse that people use when they get caught saying something that will get them in trouble. You see in the post 9-11 era it is not wise for an American movie star to insult the country. Most Americans probably didn't know that you lived in France to begin with.Now you're worried that it might hurt your career. Now if you like France more than the USA that's your business, I personally don't care where you live after all its your life. If you like the riveria more than holywood, good for you. But please get off your high horse. Just because you moved to Europe doesn't make you any better than the average American. Your comparison of America to a dumb puppy made you perfectly clear. You couldn't have made your feelings more obvious if you had burned an American flag. So your apology is hollow because you didn't mean it. What you really meant was: I'm sorry that you unsophisticated stupid bumpkins in that sesspool of America heard what I said. Yet you still want us to watch your movies. Real smart, insult your fans. I for one will not boycott your movies or call for a boycott. You see I have never seen one of your movies anyway and advocatiing a boycott simply gives you undeserved publicity and makes you a martyr for the left. So some advice. If you think that your adopted homeland and yourself are better than us simple minded Americans fine. You've obviously made up your mind on that point and nothing is going to change it. But here is some advice. Keep your Euro elitism to yourself. We simple minded bumpkins tend to get a little offended when were insulted. Because you see you can't insult the country without insulting the people who live there, or maybe you didn't think of that or maybe you thought we would think you were insulting a geographic landmass. So now I am going to give you some advice to save your career. 1) In your next role play an American hero. Wrap yourself in the flag and hope that the movie going public forgives or forgets your comments. 2) Try to be seen with the troops, to show that you are truly penitent. 3) Most importantly keep your mouth shut. Now I for one won't believe even if you do these things but it might just get that uncomfortable spotlight off of you. ------------ Email Craig Chamberlain: craig_chamberlain@hotmail.com Comment on this column in the forum.
