Last Friday, my chorus teacher was absent, so she got a sub and just had us watch the Flowerdrum Song. So the sub. was struggling to tell us the plot, because she probably read it on imdb the night before. Anyway, she goes on to say that 'this is the musical theatre version of Madam Butterfly'. So I politely raise my hand to tell her that she is mistaken, and that Miss Saigon is the musical theatre version. The woman FREAKS OUT and says I'm being disrespectful. Then she goes on to say that the plot of Madam Butterfly is about an Asian whore who falls in love with a American man who does not love her back, and then the Asian goes to America and kills herself. Then I politely told her the only part she had right was the Asian part. That’s it. So I dropped the situation. Then she went on to argue with my JAPANEESE best friend about how Hong Kong is in Japan, not China.

Then the Flowerdrum song ended, and I asked her "who was supposed to kill themself"? heh
