HANOI JANE




While QVC won't confirm the reason, it's been said the cancellation of acting legend Jane Fonda's appearance on the home shopping channel was due to complaints received about her views on the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War?

Isn't that the war that ended in 1974?

I'm looking at my calendar right now and it says July 2011. Seriously, is that the reason? That is such bullshit.

Jane pissed off a lot of people for her anti-war activism and for being photographed in North Vietnam, sitting on an anti-aircraft battery. The photograph probably wasn't one of her more shining moments, but she has acknowledged that, and has apologized over and over again. Jane has also since then won two Oscars, returned to Broadway with great success, sold tens of millions of exercise videos and books, and has even become a born-again Christian. It seems, for the most part, that most people don't care anymore, so I'm not sure why QVC caved into a small, ridiculous group of folks who can't seem to let go of the past.

For the people out there who are STILL having an issue with her because of this, I have one thing to say:

GET A LIFE!  Seriously. It is time to move on.
