Well, I'm not taking it personally. Sinise is well-known for actively supporting military members and vets; and Remini has been crusading against Scientology. Oh, and they're both famous for being actors. I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't know who they are, which is fine.
I'm occasionally tone deaf*, and as a result kind of a dick (far as typed words go). My apologies for being short.
*also, utterly ignorant of most popular culture. I don't watch TV, and haven't really kept up with movies, well... ever. I've never actually watched Forest Gump. Bits and pieces, but not sat down and watched the movie.
