"That remark was taken out of context."

So I'm browsing around trying to find out about the opera singer Mary Costa.

So I find out she's a real meanie.  According to wiki, "She is also a celebrity endorser for child abuse."

I really had a good laugh over that one.  Simple joys  for simple minds.

Context:

Costa has dedicated her later years to inspiring children and teenagers, giving motivational talks at schools and colleges across the country. She is also a celebrity endorser for child abuse. She continues to do promotional appearances for Disney...

             CHILD ABUSER MARY COSTA

        

 No, really,

Well, they explain perfectly well why:

She is also a celebrity endorser for child abuse. She continues to do promotional appearances for Disney

Duh.

I am likewise cursed with noticing that stuff. "Walk for Cancer!" "Let's raise money for autism, everybody!"

[lee n. field]

She is also a celebrity endorser for child abuse. .

She continues to do promotional appearances for Disney...

There's a deep, deep internet rathole to go googleing down.

makattak, let me repeat the context since APS does not pick up quotes within quotes:
 
"Costa has dedicated her later years to inspiring children and teenagers, giving motivational talks at schools and colleges across the country. She is also a celebrity endorser for child abuse. She continues to do promotional appearances for Disney... "

Not  your fault, just the way APS works.

Just to keep everything squared up.

I see the joke was not received.

Joke: Disney is child abuse.

Well, ok, it's one of those "it's funny 'cause it's true" jokes.

I got it, and I thought it was both appropriate and well done.

In her other photos, she does not look like Elizabeth Banks.

This was to have "No, I got it" in the body.  Somehow got truncated when posted.

I was actually thinking that in that picture she looks more like Elizabeth Montgomery...

[230RN]

It was from an image search for "Mary Costa," and came up clearly labeled that way.  I believe I used dogpile, but it may have been duckduckgo.

I just don't see Elizabeth Montgomery in that pic, though.  She (EM) is one of my all-time favorite dames.

I just meant that in the photo she strongly resembles another actress, but in other photos I found online, she does not. Just something about the lighting or the angle I guess.

This all does not exclude the possibility --nay, high probability -- that something on an internet site is --G d forbid --wrong.

Perish the thought.
