People are idiots. They do that on the reservation, too. There's a little safari themed bus you can take to go down and stare at the "natives" buying groceries at the Bashas. It really couldn't get more offensive.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

... I cannot even begin to understand that.
Except it's hardly restricted to NO or the reservation. When we were in Granada we were offered the opportunity to take a tour of the hillside caves above the city, where the Roma live. "Just like Hobbit-holes," said the salesman. "Gypsies and Hobbits, just about the same anyway."
My niece and I were so horrified we didn't even react, just begged off and got out of there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Slumming" isn't a new practice.

BTW. I am wide awake at WTF o'clock and I'm not happy about it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This week is not starting well. I am sick (I hab a code), I am menstruating, and I could not sleep last night. The amount I want to be at work is zero, but we have a big program next week, and then I am off for the theatre the week after that.
Also, I was so confused this morning because Martin Sheen emailed be about President Obama. Then I realized he must be part of some democratic association I signed up for, obviously Martin Sheen does not have my email.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good lord, Liese.
I'm not saying people shouldn't go down there - but find someone from the neighborhood to tell the story, volunteer, interact. Be a decent human being, please.

Sophia, I hope your week improves quickly.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I thought Slumdog Millionaire was poverty porn, too, so slumming takes multiple forms as well.
Also, I was so confused this morning because Martin Sheen emailed be about President Obama.
I can see that being confusing in an "Am I still dreaming?" kind of way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a dream last night that I forgot to bring my laptop to work with me and so I had to waste half the morning waiting for SAP to be installed at the hotdesk PC.
Seriously, worst dream ever. Even while it was happening I was beating my subconscious with a stick for giving me such a fucking boring dream.

I hate mundane work dreams too. At the very least, I expect some new scenery from my unconscious.
