I don't think I've ever wanted to reach through my screen and choke a b!tch anymore than I wanted to choke Heidi.










******************************************************************
Spoilers
******************************************************************

Premise is Vietnamese woman agrees to have relations with an American soldier because he promised that he would take care of her and her children. The guy knocks her up and leaves(Heidi's dad).

The Vietcong are on the way and say that they are basically going to burn all the half-breeds alive, so the mother gives her 7 year old daughter up for adoption in the US along with 2000 other kids during Operation Babylift. The mother is promised that she will be returned when the Americans came back(Never happened).

The mom spent the next 15 years learning English and writing letters trying to locate her daughter. The daughter gets kicked out of her house and disowned by her adoptive mom so she gets married has a couple of kids and decides to find her real mom.

She decides to go to Vietnam and doesn't bother to read up on the country or people because she a mental midget. She gets there and her birth mother is just so happy that she can not bear to let her leave her sight. The mother is always holding her hand, hugging her, kissing her on the cheeks and introducing her to everyone. Even the Vietnamese step-dad who fought with the Viet-Cong is welcoming her with open arms and said that if she had not left that he would have raised her as his daughter.

The whole time there the daughter is like Ewww....with her nose turned up. She wants to go back early with the interpreter because she does not want to be there for a whole 7 days....

Parts of Vietnam make Mexico look like Palm Springs, so pretty much all of her family is living in shanties. One of her half sisters is pretty bad off so she asks for some money to help her find a job(OMG What nerve the daughter thought, but gave her some anyway) The rest of her siblings had spent the last 15 years caring for the mom, so they asked if Heidi could take her to America and give her a better life(Heidi says No effing way) Ok, how bout a monthly stipend?(Heidi says Hell no, gets upset and leaves the house. The mother is visibly upset and tells Heidi that she does not care about the money, all that she wants is for them to be a family and to love one another...The mother gives her an envelope with her address on it and Heidi gets on the plane.

Two years have past and Heidi refuses to write her family in Vietnam or have anything to do with them since they are dirty yucky and poor people.

Wow it's a documentary?

It started off as expected like Nitemare said... she really wanted to see her biological mom and where she came from so she made the trip... they see each other and get all lovey dovey for a day or two. then the shiet starts hitting the fan when the people there *surprise* dont behave like the people here. well duh. so she starts bitching about it on camera... when only a week before she couldn't wait to see her family in vietnam. :roll:

i've seen parts of the documentary in a anthro class...

there's that language barrier, and how heidi was raised up

she's right in her mind, the parents/relatives are right in their mind...

its just a difference in mentality...but yeah she cried a lot...what a fat piece of turd

wants to see her country and relatives, but freaking don't even bother to learn her language, what a turd

It wasn't so much the language barrier; even though she left the country at 7 she should know some or it should come easily to her, as it was her total naivity when it came to her birth culture. I mean she went in there with 0 preparation. I kept waiting for her to say OMG, Gag me with a spoon...

She was just so disgusted and pretentious that it just made me want to slap her...

The woman who gave life to you and gave you up to have a better life and to keep from being burned alive lives in a shack and is cared for by your siblings who make virtually nothing. I think I read where $400 a year over there was an average salary.....so for less than the cost of 1 Mickey D's extra value meal per week, she could have rescued her mom from poverty. The fat sow would rather have her out of site and out of mind. In her words, "that is the past".

I really hope she gets a huge dose of karma when her kids grow up and disown and abandon her.
