So the lesson here is, “Don’t piss off the people of Peru.” Which would work, but I prefer this other one: “Don’t be such a ditzy blonde, Cameron Diaz.” A couple of days after ticking of Peru by carrying around a trendy Chinese Mao bag, Cameron Diaz apologized to the AP in a written statement. It read: “I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it.”
“I’m sorry for any people’s pain and suffering and it was certainly never my intention to reopen what I now know is a painful wound in this country’s history,” she said.
Diaz also spoke of Peruvians’ beauty and warmth and said she wished “for their continued healing.”
Personally I would have told Peru to “stick it”, but hey, I don’t have a movie career (and the “Shrek 4″ paycheck) to worry about.
Speaking of which, here’s Cameron at the “Shrek 3″ (ching ching!) premiere.
