Desperate Housewives Producers Apologize to Phillipines

Teri Hatcher Phillipines Medical Joke SceneWatchers Watch reports that the producers of the show Desperate Housewives have had to apologize over a joke about medical degrees from the Phillipines.
The producers of Desperate Housewives got an earful from the Phillipines government over a perceived slur against Phillipino medical personnel that aired during the show last Sunday night. It caused such an uproar, the producers have issued an apology. During a scene in which Susan visits the ob/gyn he gives her a shocking diagnosis that she thinks is wrong. She then asks to see his medical degree to make sure it's not from the Phillipines.
Mukamo Phillipines has more about the Desperate Housewives "joke" and says a couple of the Filipino congressmen - who were angry about the joke - incorrectly referred to Teri Hatcher as Teri Thatcher. Access Hollywood has yet more details and Global Voices Online has a roundup about the "joke."
