Alba Apologizes for Defacing Oklahoma City

Jessica Alba is seriously apologizing for tagging Oklahoma City -- and a United Way billboard -- with posters of great white sharks ... but she's also tossing blame at the shark lovers she got involved with.

Jessica Alba

Here's the statement Jessica just released:

"I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident."

16. Her non-apology is almost as offensive as her vandalism

17. IF SHE WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO. SHE COULD OF CAME AND SEEN OUR BOMBING MEMORIAL. AND READ ALL THE NAMES OF LOST LIVES ON APRIL 19, 2000, KILLING 168 PEOPLE AND INJURING 800.
THE BLAST DESTROYED AND DAMAGED 324 BUILDINGS IN A 16 BLOCK RADIUS AND CAUSED 652 MILLION WORTH OF DAMAGE.
SO I ASK YOU MISS ALBA DONT YOU THINK OKLAHOMA HAD SUFFERED ENOUGH DAMAGE AND VANALISM?

AND OUR MEMORIAL READS:

We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.

I WONDER HOW MANY TMZ PEOPLE WILL THINK THATS FUNNY ALSO.

18. She seems like a mean person, every time you guys catch her in public she's never friendly. Someone should tell her her c u nty attitude ain't making her any fans. I was never a fan of hers but I also never hated her. I still don't hate her but I don't think all that much of her. Does she want us to pity her because people like her and want to take her picture? Get over your useless self.

22. Why are we surprised when exceptionally stupid people do stupid things? Its not like alba is known for her brains, so i'm not in the least bit surprised she pulled such a stupid stunt. But way to NOT take responsiblity for her actions, rather than say sorry, but it was someone else who got me to do it, how about she actually stops and accepts responsibility for her own actions. No one forced her to do this. I sincerely hope that she gets charged and has to do community service. How about they get her to go around removing all these posters she glued up! It would give her a load of time to think about the stupid thing she did.

23. First the bondage photo to raise our consciousness concerning voting.

Now, vandalism to enlighten us about the... plight of sharks? I don't really know what she was trying to say. She just glued photos of sharks over everything.

Someone's pretty desperate.

26. Latina Candy: You're exactly right. Thanks for the reminder.

27. Wow! Her judgement and apology are just about as good as her acting, and seriously - that's not much!!

28. Translation:
"I got involved in something I should have had no part of, because I'm dumber than a box of hair. I realize I should have pulled my head out of my ass before getting involved with the people behind this campaign, who may well be the only people on the face of the earth who make me look like a nuclear physicist. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of... wait a minute... was I in Oklahoma City, or just Oklahoma?"

29. She should have remained neutral on this issue. Like Sweden, or was it Switzerland? She sure as hell didn't know becasue she has the IQ of a chimp. Apologies in advance to all chimps.
