@Grapesoda… the black girl fits in because she may be one of the six of so black children Heidi wants to adopt. See the following quote from the February issue of Sports Illustrated.
“We’re in the process of adopting an AIDS orphan from Ethiopia. Maybe two. I’m so pumped. I’d adopt six if I could. When I was five years old-I grew up in a very rural town in Missouri, and I had never even seen a black person-they asked us to draw a picture of ourselves in the future, and I drew myself holding hands with a line of tiny black stick figures. I’ve always wanted this.” – Heidi Hamels

The Hamels probably just had a bit of Mad Men fever like the rest of us – only they felt inspired enough to design their very own ad! Dude clearly has a special knack for Photoshop, and Heidi can obviously bust out some creative copy. Apprently they were the “Community of the Year”… Who knew?

Well thanks for at least sharing your intent, because I gotta say it smacked of misogynism last time, and still doesn’t smell that great.

But, to your actual point, I guess I can see it. But I still think you’re being too easy on him.

@mcknappers: Not to put too fine a point on it, we are of the opinion that Cole came to Philly as a rube, as a hick, and that it fell to Heidi — God help all of us — to show this young man something of how the world works. To usher in a bit of sophistication. To school him, as no doubt she had been schooled (albeit poorly, apparently), in how to handle fame, the media, notoriety, and so on. Best we can tell, Cole is really out of his element here (a theory borne out well in interviews, where he often seems to be repeating talking points, George W. Bush-style) and indeed, instead of truly “helping” him, Heidi — a media-born creature if ever there was one — has chosen to graft her own Brangelina desires onto Cole, rather than actually teaching him anything. In short: Heidi knows better (a tremendous benefit of the doubt, I agree) and Cole doesn’t. It’s that easy.

I agree that it’s unfair to blame her for the whole thing. She gets 50% blame; he gets the other 50%.
