    "criticized for potential racism and it's c-word-using ten-year old girl assassin."

    What the heck is "potential racism"? Is it like potential energy?
    .
    Why is a 10-year-old being vulgar any worse than anyone else being vulgar?

    Moral outrage? I think people actually have to go see the movie to be outraged and this has cult film written all over it.

    @WestMantooth: That's where you'd be wrong. Oh so wrong.

    Remember the outrage over "rape scenes" in GTA4? It came from people who heard of GTA4 and obviously never touched it. Same with the sex scenes in Mass Effect.

    They don't care if they're judging before trying.

    America is way more hung up on sex issues than violence.

    GTA4 was a game that everyone could get access to. Movies(even with torrents) are seen as something that you have to go through some effort to see.

    My problem with Lionsgate is most of the time, they don't promote their films really well. If this movie went to a larger distributor, then there might be a bigger push in advertising, spreading the word out about this film. Otherwise, most people won't even know this film was even made.

    Besides the scene above, the first scene in this clip has to be my fav. I showed it to some people at work, and we were rolling.

    I think the head scene MUST have been done after just watching "Tropic Thunder" and they only got as far as the scene when RObert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller are talking about how you never go "full retarded".

    Well, another now lowpoint in the long history of horriby dumb VH1 reality shows.

    The worst part of it is that at least one of these dumb-as-a-brick broads will sure as hell get an reality show of her own (Does anybody else try to forget "I love New York"? I sure do!).

    @Evlsushi: It is stupid as hell, I think this is doing enough harm. Always when you put stupid people on the screen it encourages other stupid people to be more stupid to get on TV. Television like that turn morons, people you should be disgusted of, into heros, even worse, into rolemodels! Why do they not show more sciencistson TV? I want mmore smart, intelligent, well educated people on the telly. Enough with these lowlifes allready!

    @wolfman-al:

    Well, I think that there are a lot of smart, meaningful individual on TV but I don't feel the need to suppress these people's freedom of choice to make asses of themselves. As much as people like Paris Hilton get celebrity, they really don't effect much in the way of actual cultural change. I mean, people look down on them, they know it, and are ok with it. We don't look for our next world leaders in these shows, it's purely mindless entertainment. These people don't turn into morons because of a show, nor do the people watching them become idiots. If you're dumb enough to be on this show, then it's probably step up from the local topless bar.
