TODAY SHOW Describes Pagans as "NASTY, BAD"
On
June 25th, Kathy Lee Gifford was presenting a segment for the popular
NBC program, "The Today Show," during which she referred to pagans as
"nasty" and "bad." This has outraged members within the pagan
community, as well as Eilfie (who is a fellow PRS investigator and one
of my best friends).
I
agree with Eilfie; what Gifford said is in poor taste and I believe
that she should apologize to the entire pagan community. This comment
was made in front of a popular, national TV program, so this apology
should be done nationally as well.
There
is nothing bad nor nasty about being a pagan. There are millions of
respected citizens out there who practice it. I encourage all of you
who believe in equality and religious tolerance to take the time to
voice your disapproval and write to NBC/TODAY show producers. You can
do so by e-mailing Today@NBCUNI.com . You can also help spread by
spreading the word on your MySpace or websites.
I
am reposting Eilfie's MySpace blog, as it includes links to the video
(so you can see how it was used for yourself) and an online column
trying to raise awareness about the remark.
Thank you all for your support!
REPOST FROM EILFIE'S MYSPACE:
Spotted
this article today on Witcvox "Thank you, Kathey Lee Gifford" while
catching up after my trip, and decided to check out the clip it spoke
about for myself.
I was quite surprised when I saw her saying "the nasty bad pagans" as a add on to the list of possible answers.
Was this suppose to be some kind of joke? What the heck? If
it was a joke or silly adlib to help him decide which answer it was, it
was in poor taste. I do not think it was a comment that was needed to
be said, whether it was about the ancient pagans or the modern ones.
The
woman who wrote the article, Sandy Laureau, said that she wrote a email
to the Today hopping they will do something about this. As she stated
herself, the email might get barried or ignored since we do not have a
strong voice in the public.
com/id/21134540/vp/25368216#25368216 It is about four minutes in when the question is asked. You might need to copy and past.
Look
over both yourself and decide what you think, if you think it was in
poor tast or even just going too far. Let them know. And let me know
what you think as well.
