peteinsonj Posted May 18, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Wow -- while its debatable whether Stewart deserved the punishment she got -- I'd say it does seem a remarkably poor move for Princess to select someone with this kind of controversy. (and as a passenger on the 6/14 voyage, I sure hope her limos don't block our way to the port! ;-) Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&M in Pgh Posted May 18, 2006 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Totally short sighted on Princess' part. And if I see once lace doilie or chintz curtain in our cabin..... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have one thing to say...1115 DAYS at sea???!!!! :eek: Thanks – yeah – 1115 days…if only that could be me!! While I don’t think Martha Stewart the best choice for godmother – what has she really done? – I do think that she was made a scapegoat and served the punishment that was put upon her with dignity - so I don't think she should be discounted because of her past. Doing that to anyone sets a very bad precidence for society. And once the ship has been at sea for a month, no one will remember who the godmother is anyway. If nothing, the choice will drum up publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dena Posted May 18, 2006 #14 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Didn't somebody buy the stock Martha sold? Maybe somebody without insider knowledge? Maybe that person lost money? Or maybe I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Gump Posted May 18, 2006 #15 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Dena - You understand perfectly well. Martha sold the stock. Then she went to jail. I don't care if she served her time with dignity or not; she should not be named godmother, imho. Too often, people (especially celebrities) are too easily "excused".

mrscaribbean Posted May 18, 2006 #16 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Martha??? It should have been Captain Stubing, Julie McCoy, Gopher, Isaac, Vicki Stubing, or Doc. Thanks for the info...at least we have some news on the Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you implying that anyone who has had legal issues and who has satisfactorily resolved those issues, should not be “excused?” No one can be rehabilitated and no one should be forgiven after serving whatever society deems due? What good is a sentencing process then? Everyone is marked no matter what retribution they pay? Wow – pretty severe if that’s the case. And if you read the Princess press release, Ms. Stewart has many accomplishments to her name - I think it admirable that the cruise line can see what she's accomplished without being distracted by her alleged indiscretion. All that being said, I would have picked someone else. Why does Rosie O'Donnell come to mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissa_bel Posted May 18, 2006 #23 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I can't believe Princess's choice. The thing with Martha is that yes, she served her time but she's still believing that she has done nothing wrong! When she was sentenced, she even issued a statement saying so and if I'm not mistaken, she pleaded not guilty so, that's not really atoning for one's bad action to me. I don't know who's running their PR operation but he/she should be fired. Don't tell me that in the whole of New York City, there isn't anyone more desserving and less controversial than this woman.

Mrs. Gump Posted May 18, 2006 #24 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I agree. There are plenty of people, famous and not, who have accomplished alot of good in this world. I'd still pick the non-felon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
