LA’s Soapbox

Also, while not planning a protest or boycott, members of the National Organization for Albinism and Hypopigmentation expressed unhappiness with the film’s heavy, a monk-assassin, being an albino, as described in the book.

Michael McGowan, an albino who heads the organization, said “The Da Vinci Code” will be the 68th movie since 1960 to feature an evil albino. He said the group aims to use the movie’s popularity to raise awareness about the realities of albinism. People with albinism have little or no pigmentation in their skin, eyes and hair.

Hmmm… let’s see.. should tall, good looking redheads beseige the movie studios with e-mail and letters expressing their chagrin at often being portrayed as prostitutes?

In 46 years (1960 - 2006) I wonder how many redheads have played the role of a call girl in a movie! How about little people… how many movies have they been stereotyped in?! I don’t need to keep giving examples, I’m sure you get my drift and if you don’t get my drift you need to move on to your next web page.

Let’s all protest and boycott all these organizations that are using the “The Da Vinci Code” for self-promotion. We could call it “The Da Vinci Code Anti-Protest, Anti-Boycott International Confederation Of Intelligent Persons Who Understand That The Novel And Movie Are Works Of Fiction” or TDVCAPABICOIPWUTTNAMAWOF for short!
