Brad Pitt’s No brainer
It’s a rare (maybe this is a first?) thing that Diva Dish touches on politics here. Seriously, celebrities are well known for spouting off their 1, 2, 3, 4… cents on topics ranging from the environment, war, foreign policy, guns - you name it, Hollywood has a platform for everything - most of it nonsense and of no greater value than the political commentary of your next door neighbor (unless your neighbor happens to be a Bush or a Kennedy, then well.. ya know).
But, this quote from Brad Pitt regarding Angelina’s new movie project really just shows how sheltered and isolated some of Hollywood really is in their ‘make love, not war’ completely politically correct way of irritatingly tolerating absolutely every thing.
Here’s the quote:
“We hope the film can increase understanding between people of all faiths and portray the story and the people involved as honestly as possible without anger or judgment.”

The movie? A Mighty Heart by Marianne Pearl, the widow of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
Now, forget the fact that a movie has already been made about Daniel Pearl. Oh yes, it has! It was distributed across the internet just as fast as the little data lines could carry it. The movie was made by the terrorists.
To summarize: Daniel Pearl was a reporter who was lured into an interview, kidnapped by Islamic fundamentalists (read: terrorists) and brutally killed by beheading in front of rolling video cameras. Before chopping off his head - the terrorists asked Pearl to identify himself. Not by name. Not by country. Not by occupation. But by religion. Identify himself as a Jew - once he did, off went his head! He was killed because he was a Jew.
This is the concept that Brad Pitt wants us to be so understanding about - without anger and without judgement.
Can we all just get along? Kumbaya, Puff the Magic Dragon and flower power, man. All those terrorists need is a little love and understanding.
But hey, at the end of the day? Brad Pitt is still cute as hell, right?

I started to comment on this article, but the way in which it is prevented leaves me with little doubts that it will be met with other smart remarks. Enjoy your own powers of “understanding.”
