'Modern Family' TV comment irks Peruvians ---- WHO?

LOL..

Via SFGate...

Peruvians are miffed over a "Modern Family" episode in which a character suggests that the Andean nation is full of backward, violent people.

I didn't even know Peruvia was a country?

And a joke in a sitcom that goes like this:

"Now, maybe in Colombia ..." Jay (THE HUSBAND) begins.

"Ah, here we go," Gloria (THE COLOMBIAN WIFE) interrupts. "Because, in Colombia, we trip over goats and we kill people in the street. Do you know how offensive that is? Like we're Peruvians!"

is a tossoff joke..

but what really made me laugh in this article was this line:

Peruvian cyberspace lit up with criticism of ABC

Really? Both Peruvians on their 2400 baud, phone handsets in rubber receptacles emailed each other?

The whole power grid, all three batteries and the open coalfire... likely shut down...
