t turns out no famous person—not even Tom Hanks—is safe from the Internet and its vast depths of potentially humiliating material.
The Daily Caller, a conservative-leaning news site based in Washington, D.C., has posted a video featuring Hanks and the Eagles' Glenn Frey emceeing an event at the private St. Matthew's Parish School in Pacific Palisades. No big deal, right?
The ostensibly shocking footage shows a fellow parent—whom the Daily Caller identified as an investment banker—dressed in what apparently was his interpretation of an African tribal costume, complete with dark makeup on his face.

And Hanks performed with this guy? What does the two-time Oscar winner have to say for himself? This is Tom Hanks we're talking about...
"For many years I emceed the annual fundraising auction for my kids' school," he said in a statement obtained by E! News. "In 2004, I was blindsided when one of the parents got up on the stage in a costume that was hideously offensive then and is hideously offensive now. What is usually a night of food and drink for a good cause was, regrettably, marred by an appalling few moments."
