It’s true, I swear. Apparently, someone forgot to tell these Hispanic World War II veterans who are protesting Ken Burn’s sure to be legendary upcoming documentary on World War II:

Hispanic groups unhappy with an upcoming Ken Burns documentary on World War II are stepping up pressure on PBS because they say the series omits mention of the role Latinos played in the war.

Here’s a thought–if this group can organize itself to protest someone else’s creative work, why can’t they hire their own fucking filmmaker and make a documentary about Latino involvement in World War II?

Ken Burns should not be denigrated or have his work altered in any way simply because someone who hasn’t even seen it yet protests it.

Freedom of speech cuts both ways and I promise right now that if this special interest group produces a film, I will make the effort to see it. Other than that though, step off Ken Burns–the man is a genius and he doesn’t deserve shit like this.
