only in the united states of unfame…
man, am i proud (for now atleast) that i live in sweden, we’ve got full body nudeness on prime time tv, no blurring, foul language (swedes don’t censor that) etc. etc.

and sure, we have gays, transes, cross-dressers - you name it, but, no more than any other country in the world… i can not for my life understand why people (kids) would start to wear dresses just because of cinderilla’s stepsister (which for a fact, has been dirt ugly since cinderilla hit the book shelves for the first time :P)

ps.
this is written in a jokingly tone ;P

I actually saw the movie tonight, and I wondered what I would have told my kids if they were there when they asked why the ugly man was wearing makeup and a dress. Not a conversation I feel interested in being cornered into.

I’m sure Fran was also troubled by Tinky Winky’s “purse”…

She lost me when she said Shrek is a kids movie…I understand there is some marketing in that direction, but you would have to live in a cave to think the Shrek movies are for kids. Maybe the cave living explains her other issues?

David Cornelius, I hope you don’t have any issues with the “leftist pro-ghost monkey agenda”. I see nothing “left” about being pro ghost monkey, thank you very much.

Strange. I figured Ms. Eaton would have been more upset about the scene where Shrek has sex with the donkey.

I mean, what’s more problematic: (a) people for whom “appearing to be a different sex in public is their particular turn on”; or (b) ogres who get it on with donkeys. It’s close, but I’m pretty sure the ogrefieddonkaophile wins that pervert contest every time.

Other issues worth mentioning:

Gracie’s story of a girl on a boy’s soccer team clearly advocates the rights of those confused about their gender sports orientation.

Pirates of the Caribbean promotes its leftist pro-ghost monkey agenda.

Spider-Man 3 teaches a blatant prejudice against shapeshifting sandpeople.

Nancy Drew supports the actions of preteen vilgilantes.

Transformers is clearly anti-Decepticon.

Uh, the Doris character was in “Shrek 2″ as well. Did the writer just not notice then?

Now, wait a cotton pickin’ minute here. Look at that picture closely. “She” has a bigger Adam’s apple than Fran Drescher’s. And you’re trying to convince me that’s an ugly dame?

How stupid do you think I am?

I suppose you could throw all the people (reviewers and alike) who thought Borat was racist into this group too. They just didn’t ‘get it’ - I hate using that phrase, but in this case it fits.

And sticking with Cohen for a moment, I read a review of the Ali G film some years ago and that said, (and I’m paraphrasing here):

“Quite why the producers, writers and director felt it appropriate to cast a white man in what is clearly supposed to be a black role, is beyond me”.

The benefits of doing a tiny, tiny bit of research before seeing a film are very clearly demonstrated there. Now, if only I could find that blasted review…
