Ho, ho, ho, hoax and hos in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Santa Claus is not coming to town — at least not in Maine. The Maine Bureau of Liquor Enforcement has forbidden a beer maker from selling its product whose label features Santa with a pint. The officials insist the image appeals to children. Additionally, they have been consistent in their reactions, as the brewer also received a thumbs-down last year for its Seriously Bad Elf ale. “Last year it was elves. This year it’s Santa. Maybe next year it’ll be reindeer,” said the owner of the booze company. The guy is no doubt hoping to launch Rudolph The Red-Nosed Alcoholic Reindeer Ripple.
• A Washington radio host staged a hoax to suggest that U.S. Muslims should be identified with tattoos or arm bands, but listeners filled the lines to support the notion and offer crazier ideas. “Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country … they are here to kill us,” ranted one caller. “What good is identifying them?” asked another listener. “You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans.” The radio host said, “The switchboard went from empty to totally jammed within minutes. … There were plenty of callers angry with me, but there were plenty who agreed.” The incident underscored the anti-Muslim sentiments that U.S. citizens harbor. Plus, it showed most radio hosts are sensationalistic morons.
• A report by the Chicano Studies Research Center at UCLA claims Latino actors and actresses may be facing discrimination at casting calls. Specifying gender and ethnicity at casting calls could violate federal anti-discrimination laws. The report also showed that 69 percent of roles are designed for Whites. “By virtue of their race/ethnicity or gender, actors of color and female actors are presumptively relegated to the margins,” stated the report. Leave it to the culturally clueless and segregated UCLA to uncover something that’s been obvious since, well, the beginning of theater and entertainment.
