Sexist and homophobic too...

We had a parting luncheon for Senior Advisor Ambassador Kaldir from Malaysia. Our esteemed Noble peace-prize winning Minister, Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta opened his speech to the assembled staff with the words.

"Don't cry. Crying is for gays and women".

(1pm, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, June 5).

Honestly, why do I even bother?

Glad I could do a little to help : ) The quote is from "Thumb Wars" a "Star Wars" parody where the actors are thumbs, and the story is ever so slightly skewed. Oobi-Doo Ben-Oobi is the man with the silliest name in the galaxy, (his full name is Oobi-Doo Scoobi-Doo Ben-Oobi), and he is the mentor of Loke Groundrunner and teaches him in the Way of the Thumb...it gets worse after that...

Good lord... that brought back some vague semblance of a memory. I think I've seen that!
