In this article, actor Vince Vaughn is not wanting to remove the "gay" line that he used in his new movie. A joke in a trailer for the new movie "The Dilemma" was deemed bullying. Vince Vaughn's character in the movie says: "Ladies and gentleman, electric cars are gay." The joke was removed first from the trailer for the film, and then from the film itself. Vaughn says he agrees that bullying is reprehensible, but disagrees with the measures taken by Universal Pictures.
I agree with Vince Vaughn on this one. I love Vince Vaughn! I love all his movies. Not only is he a very intelligent guy, he is also very funny. That's not the reason I am siding with him on this matter though. I think that the joke that has the word "gay" in it is nothing more than a harmless joke. #1 he is making a joke about electric cars and not a specific person or group of people. Everybody makes jokes like that and they are meaningless. There is a difference in saying something thats meant to hurt someone and saying something thats meant to make people laugh. I don't believe that Vince Vaughn should have to refrain from saying his "gay" joke in the movie or the trailer just because some people think that it's offensive. Get over it. It's not hurting anyone. It's meant to be funny not life ruining. If people can't take a joke then whats the point of even watching the comedy films! I'm going to watch the movie anyway. Like I said, I love Vince Vaughn!
That is stupid. I dont see where that is being said offensivly toward anyone.this just shows how they are trying to make gay more known. I dont have anything against them but this line isnt even about them or toward them its a joke in a movie.
ReplyDeleteIt's being used as just a word, not toward a certain group of people. I remember as a child, saying "That's so gay", but I was not referring to a person. Keep taking a stand Vince, what do they want next..to restrict the freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is completely retarded!! Pretty soon they wont even be able to make any more movies because there are to many cry babies in the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is stupid too! It's a harmless joke that has the word gay in it, so people shouldn't take things so personally.
