Reading between the lines of her quote, I’m thinking she actually gave some completely over the top socially inappropriate reaction to men offering a handshake, and THAT’s why she got fired multiple times.
OK…I think I understand…something. Adoption is OK, as long as the adoptive “parents” are sure to announce to all and sundry that “this isn’t really my kid! I’m not pretending to be a parent! I’m just a guardian!” Right? Because that would sure lead to the child having a healthy mental attitude and feeling of self-worth.
Pretty much. If you want to “adopt” a child, you must be willing to proclaim loudly and at great length “THIS IS NOT MY CHILD. I AM NOT THE BIOLOGICAL PARENT OF THIS CHILD. THIS CHILD IS UNDER MY GUARDIANSHIP BUT I DID NOT CONTRIBUTE GENETIC MATERIAL. THIS CHILD’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE REMAINS UNFALSIFIED BY ME.”
Preferably with a loudhailer. Maybe some sort of sandwich board, like Bruce Willis in Die Hard With A Vengeance.
You know? That’s a good film. I think it’s wholly underrated by a lot of folks, but it’s enjoyable in a camp and cheesy way.
Interesting trivia about Die Hard with a Vengeance. As originally written, it was not intended to be part of the Die Hard movie series. The script was optioned, Bruce Willis was cast in the lead, and someone thought, “This guy he’s playing is basically John McClane all over again - why don’t we just slap the Die Hard name on it and call it a sequel?”
So, in a manner of speaking, the original script is an orphan, adopted by a larger, more successful film franchise, its original identity stripped from it and buried, and the finished product presented to the world as part of the Die Hard family.
So it’s no surprise you like this movie, you heartless monster!
Oh yeah, there’s no doubt in my mind that she had a big hairy fit and accused all and sundry of sexism, racism, and any other -ism she could think of. The powers that be probably couldn’t get her ass out of there fast enough. She doesn’t really sound like a stable person to have around the office.
