5 Comments Already for “Vanity Fair”
There is an infuriating article on p. 116 of the February 2003 Issue of Vanity Fair. Dame Edna wrote some very racial comments regarding Hispanics and the Spanish language. I am very dissapointed that anyone would write such a thing and even more that the editors of Vanity Fair allowed this to be printed. I’m not going to get on my high horse and state all the reasons for which this article is disgusting. It is true there are many hispanics here in California who are as Dame Edna puts it ” leaf blowers”… but you know it’s an honest living… just as much as an honest living as me being a Design Engineer and Traveling the World on buisness. Enough said… I’ll make sure everbody I know never purchases this magazine.

Letter to the editor:
We bought the February issue of your magazine where Selma Hayak appears on the cover. We read with horror your opinion of the Spanish language and those of us who are native Spanish speakers, in the Ask Dame Edna column together with the offensive illustration by Hilary Knight that accompanies that response.
If this piece is meant to be funny it missed its mark by light years! Not only is the response morally repugnant, it is racist and xenophobic. Your company owes an apology to the millions of Spanish speaking people of the world. Please inform Dame Edna that Selma Hayak, who graces your cover this month, is a native Spanish speaking citizen of Mexico and certainly not “help” or a “leaf blower”. In the opinion of many these occupations are held in greater esteem than that of racist columnists.
In addition inform Dame Edna since he is a self proclaimed expert on Spanish literature who knows about “Don Quijote”, that he should catch up with more modern writers and should read the works of Gabriel García Márquez, and other winners of Nobel Prizes for Literature who write in Spanish.
This was the first and last time we purchase your magazine.

I TRASHED THE ISSUE WHEN I SAW THE SHOT OF TRASHY PARIS HILTON. THERE IS ENOUGH NUDITY ALREADY IN YOUR PUBLICATION AND SEEING THAT SAD PIECE OF WORK (HER) ON THE COVER JUST TURNED ME OFF COMPLETELY. SORRY YOU THOUGHT HER ‘COVER WORTHY’. PROBABLY MISSED SOME FINE ARTICLES. SINCERELY: DEANE EVERETT

Unless you want the Editor’s liberal political views SHOVED down your throat, avoid this magazine. It leans to the left so hard that you have to lie on your side to even read it. (And no, I am NOT a Republican or Democrat, but an Independent who looks at all sides). The Editor of this magazine has a huge agenda to get the Democrats back in power, he bashes Bush and the Republican party over the head with a 10-ton hammer on a monthly basis, yet worships eco-phonies like Laurie David and celebrities who want the rest of us to drive eco-friendly cars while they fly the world in their private jets. (I understand Laurie and her friends like Sheryl Crow ARE “trying” to wean themselves off this practice by cutting down on their private jet hopping trips a wee bit and using a huge gas guzzling bus that is criss-crossing the country instead, but that poor Laurie is finding this hard to give up. What hyprocrites these Hollywood folks are!) Though I am personally trying to do my bit for the environment, I hate when I read issues like the current “Green” issue where these so called eco-environmentalists really only want us “common people” to make the changes. This used to be a great fashion, entertainment and current event magazine with a lot of in-depth articles, but now it is only a political platform publication. I now will just throw it away as soon as it arrives when I receive it, until my subscription expires.

Although my husband likes “Vanity Fair” I have to make an extra effort to keep it away from our children who might confuse it for a smut rag with those Versace Ads!!!!!!!
