AGUAS CALIENTES, Peru -- Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion faux pas in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated "Shrek" films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians who suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring here Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong's favorite political slogans.
While explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru's Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words "Serve the People" printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao's most famous political slogan.

The Nag with the Bag is a Hag.
BUMP!
It's a cookbook!!
It wasn’t a “fashion faux pas”. It was an inconsiderate act of political oppression.
If she had worn a KKK emblazened bag with some white supremacist slogans, it would’ve been a similar “faux pas”.
Her politics suck. Communism kills. Any questions.
The Joker is a stupid twat.
Maybe, but do you expect her to a) read Chinese, and B) know the significance of a seemingly innocuous slogan?
Doesn't sound much different to "Protect and Serve" which is plastered all over police cars across America.
In a similar vein, I once stood in line at Airport security behind some Eastern Europeans who had nice new Western Style hand luggage with wheels and telescopic handles that was obviously made in Eastern Europe, judging by the quality. They were no doubt totally oblivious to the significance of the Brand Name of the luggage which was written in English, presumably to look "chic"
I made sure I went through the other line from them, I didn't want to see what was going to happen when they put their shiny new bags through the X-ray machine withe the label facing up saying "SMUGGLER"......
Hollywood actors are generally too ignorant and stupid to to roam at large without caretakers.
Not to defend her, but we should consider that she does not know who Mao was — and what he did.
She’s too stupid to be left out alone. I recall during the last presidential election when she was campaigning for Kerry she said if Bush is elected he’d get laws passed allowing rape.

Serve the People and the bag also had the red star of the Communists. She isn’t so young she wouldn’t have known that!
This reminds me of how Mrs. Bat and I almost continually laugh our butts off on our trips to Honolulu....the Japanese turistas get off the plane and quickly don any "Logo" t-shirt they can find to look Americanese.
I swear, I could sell 100 "Tokyo and Osaka Both Suck Bigtime" each and every day at the airport, if I were a little better at graphic design.
Ya, Like Bush is sooo stupid you know, like he is so un -worldly. He is like a war monger that kills so many people like, Peace and Mao rules. Like Bush should study Mao and the peace he brought to China. sarc off... what an IDIOT
