Hollywood is shit! Useless garbage. I remember this incident, I didn’t realize that only 20 years later things would get much much worse. I want all those wearing this pin to be dropped off in Gaza – with the pin but without their Hollywood creds – lets see how long they survive. There is so much evil in the world, and Hollywood is out there representing most of it.
