Apologetic: (Adjective) Regretfully acknowledging or excusing an offense or failure.Sienna Miller came under some fire during the filming of her new film
Mysteries of Pittsburgh, when, on location, she referred to the city as "Shitsburgh" to a reporter. Well, apparently it wasn't
her fault, but the reporter's fault for failing to translate her great wit.
"It was a stupid joke because it rhymes. In the hands of a responsible journalist, humor and sarcasm will be translated appropriately," Miller told us with a smirk at the film's Cinema Society/Links of London screening. "It was not meant as disrespectful in any way. In England, we have great rhyming slang, and everyone spends their day rhyming. But for all the trouble that comment caused, there were many people who were supportive." (Source)
Wow, with all the rhyming going on with England, I'm surprised it's not a hotbed for up and coming rappers. Regardless, I think Sienna Miller is failing to see one key point here. Just like the blacks and the gays can use, uh, "certain words" affectionately towards each other, it doesn't mean everyone can. Maybe it's OK for someone from Pittsburgh to make fun of their city, but it doesn't give some spoiled British asshole the right to say it. Likewise, I may refer to where I live as "Filthadelphia" all the time, but if Sienna Miller came here and called it that I'd be the
first in line to kick her in the vagina. That's not true. I'd probably still be first in line to kick her in the vagina, even if she didn't say that.
