i find this vaugely offensive.
dear friend (/chris a.?)
yes, we know. it is, in fact, quite offensive. we believe that was part of marcela's plan--to push the boundaries of political correctness. they decided to do something intense, and we posted it here.
tonight: a capricorn corporation stock exchange party in which cait and i are only allowed to come as interns because we were not born in january. we intend to nab some pictures there as well.

What I found was, if someone doesn't know very much about a culture instead of it being an opportunity to learn it becomes a time when people use stereotypes, unfortunately. That was not my intent.
M.E.T.
