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.
