Art and commerce in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• A North Carolina artist has drawn attention with her painting that depicts Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary (pictured above). “My intention was to ask a question and get people to think,” said the artist. “I had no idea so many people would be asking a question and thinking.” What Would Jesus Think?
• Busta busted the bus rules. Rapper Busta Rhymes caused minor controversy by having two courthouse workers shuttle him away in a prisoner transport bus in order to dodge photographers. A police official said Rhymes’ “preferential treatment” violated department policy. The department has a policy for rappers?
• The U.S. Army will apologize to the families of nearly 275 officers killed or wounded in battle who were sent letters urging them to re-enlist. “Army personnel officials are contacting those officers’ families now to personally apologize for erroneously sending the letters,” said the Army. The apologies will probably include notes signed by General George S. Patton.
• Toys “R” Us sparked controversy for denying a Chinese-American infant a $25,000 prize in a contest for the New Year’s first baby because the kid’s mom is not a legal U.S. resident (pictured below). “People are just pretty much outraged,” said the president of the New York-based Asian American Business Development Center. “[The newborn] was deprived of $25,000 intended to be used for her college education because of who her parents are.” Welcome to America, baby.
