I just recently come across this story that was way back in 2003.
All Josh Morten wanted before he died was a blow job from Cameron Diaz. The 15-year old leukemia patient from Philadelphia didn't ask for much in his 4-year struggle with the terminal illness. His father said he didn't complain much nor asked for big things so when the boy asked for his fantasy to be fulfilled, his parents did everything to make it come true.
And of course, they failed. Josh Morten died without getting his dying wish.
The parents are quite mad at Cameron Diaz. They did their best to contact her but all they got were request denials. Josh's father ranted complaining about women like Cameron who is pretty much well-off and yet couldn't grant a dying teen's request.
It must be really sad for the side of the parents because all they ever wanted was to make their dying son happy. Surely their intentions were clean; thinking only for what's best for their son, Josh.
On the other hand, I only wish that they eventually came to their senses and forgave Cameron Diaz for not granting the wish. Imagine if Cameron did it -- I'm sure thousands of dying people would beg for the same thing. Should the actress grant all of their requests?
Come on, Cameron Diaz is a woman -- a human being who deserves some respect. She is not some kind of charitable slut who's going to go down on a dying person.
And the tone of the dad about some women being filthy rich and yet couldn't grant a request from a "far less fortunate" and dying teen.
People, shouldn't we stop looking at people as social class, as money, as fame? People are people. Human beings. Are being less fortunate and dying excuses for a teen or any person to disrespect a person more fortunate?
Let me stray from the sad story and rant for a while:
All people deserve some respect. Less fortunate ones does not have the right to exploit the rich ones. I don't understand why many people, especially here in the Philippines, could almost crucify rich people or politicians when they steal from the country when they, themselves, steal from their own offices, their friends, etc. Many do not pay proper taxes and always try to evade due payment -- isn't that stealing from the country? Stealing is stealing.
When parents lie to their children, the episode would be MMK-worthy. Sons and daughters would go ballistic and would be crying rivers of tears, "Nagsinungaling kayo eh!" I bet they lied more times to their parents about a sleep-over or money for a "project" in school. Lying is lying.
I really wonder how is it a lesser crime if a less fortunate did it to a more fortunate one.

Willie Resign!!
It's been the talk of the town aside from the national elections. Willie Revillame dedicated Wowowee air time to lash out on Jobert Sucaldito for bashing him and the noon time show.
The ire was so evident. Willie is mad. And then the people are mad. Despite the claps on the set, boo's all over the internet echoes. They shout, "So you say you'll resign? JUST DO IT!!"
The last straw that prompted Willie to lash out on TV is the recent comment of Jobert Sucaldito in his radio show: Bakit gine-guest sa Wowowee ang mga batang bagsak ang grades?
I'm sure Willie found a good reason to retort, saying that Wowowee is a show for everyone, including failing student, garbage collectors, cancer patients and others.
POINT: A failing student is WAAAY different from being a garbage collector or being a cancer patient. Failing is a result of irresponsibility. Poverty is not even a good excuse because there are many poor students who are quite motivated. They work and study hard to be scholars. Those are the students who are worth mentioning. On the other hand, hailing failed students is not a motivation for them to study for their futures. May Wowowee naman, bakit pa?
Willie even mentioned something about campaigns and supporters. He thinks that Jobert, who is a The Buzz host is biased against him because he supports Villar. ambabaw...
Willie scolded the ABS-CBN management for tolerating mudslinging among members of the network. He stressed that they are "kapamilya" and that they shouldn't be hurling at each other who are under the same roof. He scolded the management like they're HIS staff.
He then threatened to resign if ABS-CBN would not do something about Jobert Sucaldito. Wow. Spoiled brat.
He's saying that they should be like one happy family and not criticize one another. Oh, but I thought that family should be your number one critics. I thought they should be the one who first notices the problems with you before someone hits you in the face. My point is, Jobert is being family to Willie; the management is not.
Jobert thinks, is he and his show that big for Willie to be affected by his hurls?
Sabi nga po, "BATO, BATO SA LANGIT ANG TAMAAN, WAG MAGAGALIT".
They are all over the internet. No, not jejemons. Willie haters. There are hundreds of comments on PEP, Facebook, Facebook fan pages, even the poll on the ABS-CBN website show that many people disapprove of Willie's action.
*let him resign image came from FB fan page.
Watch Willie here and decide for yourself:
