apocalypsosSpotted on IMDb ...
Religious conservatives and family-values groups are planning to wage a battle against Fox Searchlight's Kinsey, about the pioneering sex researcher, when the movie opens in limited release on Friday. In a statement on Wednesday, Robert Knight of Concerned Women for America charged that the movie "lionized" a man whose "proper place is with Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele or your average Hollywood horror flick mad scientist." Knight went on to assert that Kinsey "was the godfather of the homosexual activist movement, the campaign to mainstream pornography, and even the campaign to strike down abortion laws." The youth group Generation Life, composed of "virgins and renewed virgins," announced that it would picket theaters showing the film. And the conservative WorldNetDaily.com has taken aim at the movie in the current issue of its monthly magazine Whistleblower, in which it charges that Kinsey transformed America "in five decades from the Leave It to Beaver innocence of the 1950s to today's wanton, 'anything-goes' sexual anarchy." (EDIT: I believe I should add here that with a dirty enough mind and a slight shift in punctuation, there is no real difference between leave-it-to-beaver innocence and "anything goes" sexual anarchy". I'm just sayin'. ANOTHER EDIT: Okay, not much of a difference. ;))
And, you know, Finding Neverland is coming out this weekend and I'm going to go if I hit a word quota for NaNoWriMo that I'm happy with, but I'm horribly tempted to go see Kinsey if it means annoying protesting religious conservatives. And maybe they could question my sex life. That could be amusing. *evil cackle*
And what the hell is "renewed virgin" supposed to mean, anyway? (Note: That was a rhetorical question. I know what stupid excuses they'd give for being "renewed" virgins. Nobody needs to give me an explanation of the term, but thanks anyway.) I'd just like to get into an argument with a really nutty protester who's not half as virginal as I am. ;)
EDIT: Shot shows promise as male contraceptive -- Oh, and I'm sure that since guys can't get pregnant, that shot'll get passed out like it's friggin' candy. *glares*
HEY, I FOUND ANOTHER EDIT UNDER THE COUCH CUSHIONS!: There are protestors out by the street, and I have no idea who they are or what they're protesting or, for that matter, which building they're protesting. The curiosity, it kills me dead. *resists the urge to leave work to go out and ask, since New Bossman already said no*
