Did you see the recent Oprah Winfrey show on which Tommy Hilfiger was a guest? Oprah asked Hilfiger if his alleged statements about people of color were true - he's been accused of saying things such as "If I had known that African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians would buy my clothes, I would not have made them so nice," and "I wish those people would not buy my clothes - they were made for upper-class whites." What did he say when Oprah asked him if he said these things? He said "Yes." Oprah immediately asked Hilfiger to leave her show.

See what I mean? So though I am not particularly crazy about his products, for that moment I swore I would not endorse anything that guy even dreams of creating. I mean how outrageous can a person be by thinking he can get away with saying anything about anyone?!?! Phew........ Breathe....... Think! Wait! If he said something this big, then shouldn't the media be all over him? And wouldn't I know of it through other means than my email?

So the ever inquisitive me HAD to Google and get to the heart of the matter. What would I do without the Internet? Anyway, sure enough there's tons of information about this. Turns out I am just like 9 years old to this "scandal"!!! It's been doing it's rounds since 1996! WOW! And someone just found the time to clue me in? What's up with that?

But you tell me Blog, do you think any of this is real? Is it all just a hoax? Can someone in Tommy's position be such an idiot to piss half the world off? I don't think so! But then how many people actually try to verify this piece of information? I mean obviously my own friend took terrible offense to it and passed it along to 6 more of us and sure enough those "other" 5 must've sent it out to their contacts. Before you know, there will be someone reading this email 10 years down the road and going hysteric! Seriously Blog, wish people acted a li'l more responsibly with this weapon called the Internet, at their finger tips.
