Cameron Diaz, political mastermind?

AGUAS CALIENTES, Peru (AP) — Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion faux pas in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated "Shrek" films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians who suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring here Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong's favorite political slogans. Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words "Serve the People" printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao's most famous political slogan.

Is it me (of course not) or does the entire world need a good dose of shut the hell up? I'm sure Cameron Diaz is fluent in written Chinese and knew exacttly what was written on her purse. And of course she is so well versed in world history that she knew that there had been a Chinese insrgency in a a South American country. And of course in her cold, calculating way, she found that particular handbag and chose it, above all others, to wear in order to inflame the sensibilities of a foreign country she was touring. Brilliant!! Her evil plan suceeded!!!
