DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES BLASTED FOR FILIPINO GAG
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES has come under fire in the U.S. for poking fun at the Filipino education system.
Angry viewers called the show’s broadcaster ABC after Teri Hatcher’s character Susan questioned the medical training in the Philippines.
Hatcher’s character quizzes a doctor about the possibility she may be going into menopause. She says, "OK, before we go any further, can I check these diplomas? Just to make sure they aren’t, like, from some med school in the Philippines?" More than 30,000 people have signed an petition in a bid to get the scenes axed and are pressuring ABC to apologises.
But a ABC spokesman says, "There no intent to disparage the integrity of any aspect of the medical community in the Philippines."
