Members Cheap21 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 St. Patricks Day IS an excuse to drink. People do celebrate it to go out to bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Exactly, you have but only to look at the real world to see how folks of all backgrounds see St. Patty's and Cinco de Mayo as holidays to get unapologetically schlammered.

Members NYC123 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Man OLTL cannot catch a break. At least they are finally making some headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 It really don't need to be St. Patty's day for Roxy to be drunk. Seriously, the woman is always zonked *why I love her* It was not offensive. The rest of the show was more offensive that day than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 Heh just as an aside I found it highly amusing that most of Mexico does not celebrate Cinco de Mayo and that the reason the day its important is because it was the day Mexico kicked the French army's ass from invading in 1862.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I hate when groups try and make an issue out of nothing. I hope ABC doesnt back down and apologize. I hope that for the next month or so, whenever Roxy is getting drunk, she's wearing bright green from head to toe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 What annoys me is that this will probably just be used as an excuse to dismiss the valid complaints about some of the show's recent decisions and the tone of some of their stories, because gee, everyone complains, who cares.

Members All My Shadows Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 Mhm. If these people can articulate a reason why OLTL's St. Pat's Day episodes offended them, then I'd be willing to give them credence. But just "That's offensive!!" doesn't cut it.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 I posted a fairly mean (I admit) reply on their website, not sure it'll stay up. But calling an ABC boycott over the fact they simply don't know things about the show (like that Roxy is offensive towards every minorities in her way, and is ALWAYS drunk), is ridiculous. Did any other show even aknowledge the holiday? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have celebrated the day in Montreal (which has a huge Irish population rivaling New York's), Vancouver (which doesn't), and, yes, Dublin. OLTL's depiction was tame (honestly the thing I remember most about Dublin's was the amount of vomit in the street the next morning--I am not kidding).

Members DRW50 Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 Y&R had St. Patrick's Day scenes in...January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 The thing is they may wanna deny it, but this isn't very different than how most people in Dublin celebrate it either (and they don't make the beer green but they do dye the river...) LOL what?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 25, 2010 Members Share Posted March 25, 2010 In January or early February, Billy and Victoria were in an airport lounge, I believe, and there were St. Patrick's Day displays and they drank green beer. Meanwhile, at Crimson Lights, Amber was wearing a green shirt and there were also some type of decorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
