Marking time in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• There’s a mole in the R. Kelly child pornography trial. Actually, it’s a mole on the back of the recording artist. The defense had argued the man in the infamous video is not Kelly, because he doesn’t have a mole on his back, while the artist does. But yesterday, an expert pointed out a dark spot on the video man’s back that corresponds to Kelly’s mole. The expert also insisted the video could not have been digitally altered, as it would have taken a professional 44 years to manipulate each frame. Then again, it took about that much time to get the case to trial…
• Sharon Stone issued an apology for her remarks about China. The apology was actually presented through Christian Dior, which dropped its Chinese advertisements starring Stone. The apology read, “Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people. I am willing to take part in the relief work of China’s earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people.” Hmmm. A stupid comment leads to having your ads pulled, prompting an apology and offer to help victims. Is that karma?
