Melissa Leo does a No-No

During the 2011 Academy awards this actress accidentally swore at the crowd - she dropped the f-bomb in her acceptance speech, ‘it was just so f****** easy!" Of course the media was immediately in uproar. But who really cares? It’s not like we haven’t heard it before. Sure if it was the 30's and only sailors and criminals swore, but it’s not. Face it - I’ve heard nine year olds say worse things. So she said a little swear word in the heat of the moment - who cares?

The academy awards are a production aimed at congratulating people who already make millions of dollars a year on their movies. They all dress really fancy and we all talk about them for days afterwards. They’re geared towards people who can’t afford to wear such fancy clothes, and those who like movies. But they’re not important, it’s not like entire nations watch it when it’s on, most countries didn’t even have the program run live, so they could easily have edited it out if need be. So why was it pasted all over the headlines? People have written blogs about how offended they are that she would say such a thing. How could people really be so offended about this? I’m more shocked about how the media reacted to her little slip of the tongue than the fact that she actually did it.
