Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion crime in Peru.The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated Shrek films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians.They suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring there on Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong’s favourite political slogans.

While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru.

While she explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru’s Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words ‘Serve the People’ printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao’s most famous political slogan.

Yet another Hollywood lefty caught letting everyone know the truth about her beliefs. But she’ll still claim otherwise.

Eh, maybe - just maybe she is too stupid to know what she is was wearing. But I scincerely doubt it.

UPDATE: Allahpundit at Hot Air disagrees with my take saying: “ Not for a moment do I think she knew who the Shining Path was.”
