The BBC reports that Cameron Diaz has apologized for visiting Peru while carrying a bag with a large red star above the Chinese slogan “serve the people”.

Peruvian human rights activist Pablo Rojas said of the Maoist slogan, “It alludes to a concept that did so much damage to Peru, that brought about so many victims. I don’t think she should have used that bag where the followers of that ideology did so much damage.”

Diaz, presently starring in a cartoon about a silly green ogre, and whose every action reverberates with sober economic and cultural impact around the world, issued a statement to the Associated Press apologizing for “people’s pain and suffering” and for reopening a “painful wound in this country’s history”. Diaz continued that she wished for Peruvians’ “continued healing”.

Human rights activists are such ninnies. Did anyone really think for a moment that Cameron Diaz, known for playing a ditzy girl with sperm in her hair, reads Chinese and brought along a special bag just to upset everyone in Peru?

Besides, what is the point of being a rich and famous Hollywood celebrity if you can’t march around doing whatever you want? When presented with pressure to apologize, she should have commanded her bodyguards to overthrow the Peruvian government and her interior decorators to paint all the buildings red, while she issued a statement saying, “Indeed, people will be served…” after which a giant mechanical Shrek would pounce out from behind a mountain and start devouring Peruvians by the fistful.
