POP STAR: Oh, that's so great. I'm really looking for someone young and cool. My last guy had really antiquated ideas. ME: Asha is the best. And very young and cool. Unless of course you don't want to get your kids vaccinated, hahaha. The pop star froze and everyone went silent. Greta looked at me, eyes widening in horror. I could not have offended a group of people more quickly than if I had announced to a room of male comedy writers that the movie Caddyshack sucks {which I have done, and which did not go over very well}. The point is, people were incredibly offended.
In a conversation with a pop star, she expresses her desire for someone youthful and trendy, contrasting this with her previous partner's outdated views. I suggest Asha as a suitable option, making a lighthearted comment about vaccinations. This joke quickly backfires, leading to a moment of shocking silence among those present.
The tension escalates as Greta's horrified reaction indicates that my remark may have struck a nerve. This incident underscores how easily discussions can become uncomfortable, especially when sensitive topics arise, reflecting the nuances of social interactions in the entertainment industry.
