Jessica Alba Defends Being Dumb

Jessica Alba really is quite funny. She’s managed to get dragged into an argument over things that are clearly, over her head.

Jessica Alba is fuming at TMZ for calling her dumb when she called Sweden a “neutral” country last week … even though it currently has troops in Afghanistan. Sweden was a neutral country … 60 years ago.

Even though she was engaged in a debate about the current political situation in America, when she advised a reporter to “Be Sweden … be neutral” — Alba is swinging back at critics via her blog saying,

“It’s so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland.”

Guaranteed she meant “be Switzerland” — that phrase has been used for years and years, when advising someone to stay neutral.

TMZ has responded with,

She is absolutely correct — when the Nazis were waging war on anyone who opposed Hitler’s evil rule, Sweden remained neutral and stayed out of the war. After the war, Winston Churchill referred to Sweden as “that small, coward country.”

We apologize for not considering the political climate of the world in 1942 when we suggested she may have meant, “Be Switzerland” — a country that is currently neutral.

Our sincerest apologies.

However, the funniest response to the post was on Jessica Alba’s own blog.
