America's Sickness

[pasithea]

Oh goodie. Chuck and Larry is opening this weekend. I will be ECSTATIC to quit seeing commercials for this fucking piece of garbage.

If you haven't heard of it, be happy. Basically the premise is that gays get special rights that hard-working blue collar straight men aren't afforded so two homophobic jackasses pretend to be gay in order to get some benefits deal. Naturally of course, a very attractive woman falls madly in love with one of these mono-browed cretins because a disgusting schlub prancing around with a fake lisp is oh-so-sexy.

But you know the part that REALLY pisses me off about this one? It's a fucking PG-13 rating. HORRAY FOR AMERICA!!!!! If this film were about two guys who actually loved each other, it'd automatically get an R-rating dead minimum. THIS IS OUR SICK TWISTED SHITTY AMERICAN VALUES.

Hate and bigotry are for kids! YAY AMERICA! And you wonder why we breed more serial killers than any other nation on the planet.

I've only seen the ads in the subway for it and was fearing the worst, but the ad doesn't tell much about the movie. I'd actually been wondering if I was too hopelessly cynical and jumping to conclusions about the movie... but from this post, I'm guessing it's as offensive as my fears had led me to believe.

Oh. I'm sure it will put on a feebly 'pro-gay' ending, See comment to Cargo below.
