What do you think about overwhelming reaction to John Travolta's dyslexic name mixup ?

Asked by Buttonstc (27605points) March 5th, 2014 from iPhone

It’s still going on…and on and on and on.

How much ceaseless mocking is enough ?

Obviously he’s a big boy and can take it (his apology was pretty clever as well as classy ) and it won’t derail his whole life but what happens to those who don’t have tons of money and fame to insulate them.

This article gave me food for thought.

TRAVOLTA QUOTE: “Travolta said in a statement released Tuesday: “I’ve been beating myself up all day. Then I thought … what would Idina Menzel say? She’d say, ‘Let it go, let it go!’ Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!”
