Sometimes, I swear shit like this is made up by the marketing departments of movie studios, even if the part that claims the "homosexual agenda" is about the "ultimate goal of worldwide sexual anarchy" was unintentionally hilarious. At any rate, this rubbish where films are touted as "controversial" months and months before they even hit post-production is getting more than a little bit tiring, if not wholly predictable.

Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at February 12, 2007 12:34 PMFor some reason, that great quote from Judd Nelson in "The Breakfast Club" came to mind:
"If he gets up, we'll all get up, IT WILL BE ANARCHY!"
I'm sure Dave will appreciate the reference, Julie. :)
Posted by: Emily at February 12, 2007 12:41 PMI'd actually read about this before. Not about the controversy, but about how they were filming a movie at the arena involving a gay hockey player. While I do think that the folks in marketing have "family" organizations on their speed-dial, they could have found out about this independently.
Posted by: Tainted Bill at February 12, 2007 12:41 PMI love that line, Julie. Thank you: one can NEVER have too many quotes from that movie floating around the Interwebs. :-)
Posted by: Dave J at February 12, 2007 12:59 PMYou should have seen my face when someone told me they were naming their baby "Claire". I literally had to bite my tongue to keep from saying, "That's a fat girl's name!" :-)
Posted by: Julie at February 12, 2007 01:09 PMI think that the real question is, can this guy give the Maple Leafs 16 minutes a night and check the other team's top line? Tucker and Sundin can't do it all by themselves.
