The fringiest interest group yet

So I'm watching some crappy entertainment news show and they were talking about the Da Vinci Code movie. They had on this family of albinos and they were complaining that the movie shows albinos and a negative light (pun!) and that they have in the past gotten mistreated by people because of their appearance and they pointed out that anytime there's an albino character in anything they are evil.

Now I think that is just bullshit. I get how the Catholic Church and Opus Dei are all pissed off at the book and movie, it's pretty biased against them what with the conspiracy and the murdering. But the fact that the guy is an albino is just a plot point that has to do with the character's back story, a Macguffin if your so inclined. People whine too much. And have they seen Powder? Good watching right there, that melanin and hair deficient kid taught us all how to love again.
