Things that make you go O.o

While reading my Google alerts, I came across this little nugget of joy:

Taken from an actual letter/question written to Parade Magazine in the US:
Elizabeth Testerman had this to ask: "People complain about immigrants taking jobs away from us but don't utter a peep about all of the Brits playing Americans on TV, like Hugh Laurie on House. Why do

That’s ridiculous. Nationality isn’t even relevant, the only reason Hugh was picked was because he’s so damn talented, which we know, lol.

That question makes me laugh more than anything. It reminds me of something I read about the TCA awards, someone tried to ask Hugh what he thinks of this sudden flood of Brits playing Americans taking away the jobs for Canadians playing Americans. I would have loved to hear his answer to that one.

As for the rest, I probably won't ever get that far...

HAHAHAAHA *lmao*

I want to pee outside now.

Maybe if there were more talented actors out there (unlike Tom Cruise), they wouldn't have to hire "immigrants" like Hugh Laurie.

And there I was thinking acting is about ACTING and not about race and culture.
Boy was I wrong

"People complain about immigrants taking jobs away from us but don't utter a peep about all of the Brits playing Americans on TV, like Hugh Laurie on House. Why do producers hire them?"
I was thinking, hey, if he's stealing a job from an equally qualified American, I must meet all these hidden treasures you've been keeping under wraps!
