Cmon people,

Art Bell hating Filipinos?
Tommy Hilfiger hating asian people?

Before you guys start posting emails and letters about these accusations, do some research on the subject first, k?

I f**king hate it that people automatically believe shit they read, especially when they're chain letters! Look up the fcuking info on a goddamn official website before you start spreading these POS letters. I'd rather believe statements on websites that the owners pay for than for e-mails that are drifting through the system freeloading off people's accounts and the company's memory.

Cmon, we're smarter than this. If I was a person being framed like this, I'd feel like shit, so don't make other people's lives harder.

[edit] People only read the 1st post of a topic and then reply, so I have to atleast make this thread and defend an innocent man by telling you all they're hoax emails.

Don't instantly believe everything you read, especially if it's a chain letter going around the internet. Check the sources on official, dependable websites.

I'm not saying your mom is a liar, I just think you should ask her again if she actually physically saw it on TV. I mean, the actual statements proving he intended his products not to be worn by asians.

Well you do make a good point. Like when I got that one e-mail about that racial comment in a magazine...I couldn't believe it so I had to check it out for myself. It turns out that it was in the magazine. I posted it here: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...ndpost&p=749161

When i first saw the letter about tommy hilifiger, i really believed it... but then i think about it, why in the world would tommy hilifiger, such a famous person who has his stores all over asia say such a stupid thing that would seriously hurt his own sale?

you can`t really change people`s opinions. it`s their choice to believe what they want.
