LOL. I don't mind any curry. I like them all in their own, but brown is the best :B Yellow is pretty good too. Green is a Thai curry.
Green - sweet, Red - spicy, Yellow - normal? LOL

Have you stepped outside to see if the burning smell is from outside and just wafting in through the airducts or something? I've had that happen at my parents once. It was overwhelming inside and when I walked outside I was all "OH! It's from out here."

I'm glad I took a walk before answering because I have found the counter argument to all this "What the movie is really about makes it non-objectionable" nonsense.

Okay, let's assume for a moment, that this argument is true. That a movie's "end lesson" justifies the means used to say it. In this case, "Woman are beautiful on the inside and that's what counts".

By that, standard, what other movies are perfectly acceptable for Gaia?


Saw.

You heard me right. By your own argument you admit every little boy and girl of any age should watch Saw because it teaches a good lesson.

For those who do not know the plot I'll break it down and do a comparison with House Bunny.

Example 1

Movie: Saw

Lesson: A dying old man seeks to teach people to enjoy the life they have and to not waste it by committing suicide, cheating on spouses, ect. He honestly wants these people to learn their lesson and live out their lives happily.

How the lesson is taught: By placing people in traps that end up with the person usually killing themselves through their own actions in very gorey and grotesque ways.


This movie teaches a very good and basic lesson, but it doesn't excuse the fact that it is chalk full of morally wrong things.

Example 2

Movie: House Bunny

Lesson: Teaches women that guy look more for what's on the inside than the outside.

How the lesson is taught: By taking a woman who clearly misses her brothel life style (because that's what the whole Playboy system is) and then take already good looking girls and tells them they need to dress slutty to get males attention when they already look perfectly cute as is.


Just because the "end" is good doesn't make the "means" any more justifyable.

By stating the "If the movie teaches a good moral who cares if the content is objectionable because that's what the movie is really about" argument you open up a while can of nasty worms.


ROTFLMAO.
Honestly. If the movie SAW was instead the set of House Bunny, I'd watch it. The difference between the two which moots your point is that SAW is a Rated-R slasher film, with grotesque amounts of blood and gore. I'd reckon we'll see about the same amount of "inappropriateness" in this movie that you can see on Cable TV or even your average Victoria's Secret commercial.
