Title: RE: OBJECTION

Moje bi i drugi sa poluchili syshtoto...   ----- Original Message ----- From: Begley, Sharon To: 'Ivan Terziev' Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 5:03 PM Subject: RE: OBJECTION Please accept my apologies. I am very sorry I offended people, when all I intended was to say that the world treats some nationalities (Canadians) better than others (Bulgarians), and that that is not fair. Perhaps you would like to read what another Bulgarian sent me: Dear Sharon Bigley, dear editors of Newsweek, dear friends, dear friends of friends, I've never been a great fan of political correctness (Fahrenheit 451, probably), but even if I try to practice this way of thinking, nothing in this article ( http://www.msnbc.com/news/709438.asp?cp1=1 ) offenses me, although I am Bulgarian. I read the phrase in question many times, and I don't think it means homely+bucktoothed+balding=Bulgarian. I don't see why any one would interpret it that way. and let me also paste in another common message I have been getting: hey you, fuckingly stupid bbbbbeggggley, do you know at all where bulgaria is? I doubt so, so you'd better keep your mouth shut next time you talk about us I wonder who you fuck with to keep you up at work with this lousy magazine.

" Tasteless words like these are an insult to Bulgarians as well as to the numerous open-minded readers of NEWSWEEK around the world. We demand an apology.
