Apologize and Shut Up

Real heroes don't come from Hollywood.

What is it with these Hollywood types who begin to believe in their make believe worlds?

The latest example is Mark Wahlberg who, in an interview with Men's Journal, opened his mouth, without the benefit of scripted lines written for him and opened up wounds for the families of the 9/11 heroes of Flight 93.

According to this Hollywood make-believe tough guy, if he was on Flight 93, which apparently he was supposed to be before his plans changed, the outcome of the heroic actions of the 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93 would have been different.

Apparently he would have taken on the hijackers single handed, beaten them down and force the terrorist pilots to land the aircraft on his command. After all, he is from Hollywood.

What BS! The men and women on Flight 93 are true heroes who when faced with life threatening circumstances and obvious national attack took action. Real people do this. No stunt doubles, no script, real bullets, real blood and real death. How dare this Hollywood "star" compare himself to these heroes.

Apologies to the families of the Flight 93 heroes are in order Mr. Wahlberg.  A significant contribution to the National Memorial for Flight 93 at Shanksville, PA, is due from you out of your Hollywood largess. 

Lastly, pretend you don't have a script in front of you and shut up.
