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.

Yes, chuck&larry, the gay panic movie. You just know it'll end with them learning a Valuable Lesson about how gays really aren't that bad but gosh, it sure is awesome to be heterosexual.

Certainly, and of course, we'll get a lot of laughs at the fat guy. More importantly though, we'll still have thrown around that message that gays get 'Special Rights' that are unfair for straight guys. So Joe-jackass can take home that message and the one about how Hollywood luvs queers. It'll also give him plenty of new hate material to use, all packaged up neatly in the guise of being queer-friendly. This is that thing I was talking about with SouthPark a while back.

Don't get me started on the politics of south park, seriously. Although at least they're funny. :)
