The bit was offensive and the apology was necessary. Being suckered by marketing is no excuse. @EastTexMark
@LaraSpencer@JohnQABC@julito77 -
@prrosado@LaraSpencer@JohnQABC@julito77 Mardi Gras and Carnival are derived from Christanity, but are ENJOYED BY ALL.#whatsthebigdeal ? -
Soooo that makes it okay to offend millions of people? Faulty logic there @EastTexMark.
-
@prrosado I don't think a news reporter celebrating the day, as millions do, offends others. I think this is all about hyper sensitivity. -
Then you are mistaken @EastTexMark. Totally and profoundly mistaken.
-
@prrosado Not mistaken. I just don't agree with you. -
If that's what you need to keep your flawed belief system in place @EastTexMark then more power to you. Disappointing but not surprising.

@LaraSpencer@JohnQABC@prrosado@julito77 I'm tired of this PC oversensitivity. No apology needed. -
Wrong
@bosephusg, it was offensive. Period.@LaraSpencer handled it like a pro.@JohnQABC@julito77 -
@prrosado ever celebrate st Patrick's day? I'm Irish and don't mind the alcohol cracks.#getoverit. -
I wouldn't dream of offending someones culture that way
@bosephusg. I was raised to respect diversity. -
@prrosado If its so offensive maybe EVERY Mexican restaurant shouldn't promote huge alcohol specials on 5/5. -
Not sure how that has anything to do with the offensive broadcast
@bosephusg? Are you suggesting@LaraSpencer was drunk? -
@prrosado not at all....your missing the entire point. She merely pointed out 5/5 sold the most margaritas -
I respectfully suggest you are missing point of this situation
@bosephusg. This not about political correctness but of cultural sensitivity.
