At Sorry We're Perfect, we like to think we're concerned with a little more than just grievous fashion faux pas' & the latest shenanigans of the Jersey Shore cast. We also take a deep interest in things we consider to be important issues, including everything from politics to major social issues like bullying & gay rights. We believe that we have a basic responsibility as human beings to look out for those around us and to stand up for what we believe to be right. That's why when a friend of ours named Vanessa came to us & asked if we would do a show in memory of her friend Jack, we felt it was something we had to do.
Jack was a wonderful person who touched many lives. He was smart, kind, and funny. And this past November, at the very young age of 19, Jack was shot & killed at a party. His death has brought much pain to those fortunate enough to know him. In September, those responsible for his death are being sentenced. Vanessa, Jack's father, and many others feel that the punishment they are receiving is not nearly as harsh as it should be. They want to being attention to this and also do something for Jack, who always seemed to be doing things for others, right up until the moment he died when he got between the gunman & his friend.
We are still in the early stages of planning this episode, but we feel honored to have been asked and we feel a great need to try & bring Jack some justice. Therefore, public attention & awareness is our big focus here. We all know that having your voice heard is one of the biggest steps towards making change. Jack no longer has a voice, but those that love him are speaking out on his behalf.
More to come...
