The Onion does it again...

The other day my evening commute was a tad less taxing. Having secured a seat without bowing elderlies or blocking out pregnant ladies, NYC style, I had piece of mind and, thanks to the picture and caption at left from the Onion, mirth-a-plenty. The insightful editors over there called to attention Hollywood's reliance on he, of "give us free," for far too many continental Hollywood roles, which still, in my opinion, is better than blacking up already chestnut brown Forest Whitaker or making Danny Glover rehash his trusty South African accent. With all the unemployed or underemployed non-white actors, it doesn't make sense to keep casting the same few industry approved negroes. Let's spread the paucity and try and make some more inroads for thespians to come.
