I guess you're just not supposed to mention they were gay. Which, to be fair, you probably wouldn't anyway in the course of an average history lesson. But if you, did I wonder if that would come under the new laws and you could be prosecuted for stating the truth - we're hearkening back to the Kafka-esque days of the…

Once again I feel the need to stop and say thank Gawd for Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon. Don't you kids do anything to break my heart, okay? My whole belief in love now rests almost entirely on you.

Wait, you're telling me the person on the right isn't a cardboard cutout? Good grief.

Sounds like a scene from a Woody Allen film :D

It does make one wonder why the Republicans seem to have decided to throw away the women's vote and concentrate on the ones-imagines-somewhat-smaller cockfighter demographic.

Argh! I tried to post that earlier and it wouldn't let me! What a tiger. He looks so young that I was a little bit concerned before getting too lusty, but apparently it was taken 'in the 30s' and Tricky was born in 1913. Lust away, ladies!

Whoa, you were not kidding there, Jezebel. My fingers just found themselves Googling 'young Richard Nixon' completely of their own accord...

I hated On The Road. This trailer, however, actually looks quite good. Maybe they cut out all the condescension, self-pity and rampart misoogyny.

"as he positions the head of his erection at the entrance of my sex"

Great. Now I'll have Mo' Money, Mo' Problems in my head for hours.

I'm not sure if it's quite as hurtful though. I mean, if a show had made that joke here it would have caused a bit of a kerfuffle. Like the black people fried chicken stereotype was something I knew nothing about until I went to university and someone made a (pretty tame) joke about it to the one black guy in the…

Yes, but my reaction would be "Heya guya, before you put this on the global stage, consider that..." not this reaction some commenters seem to have that Europeans are totally up on subtle US nuance and are using their European sneaky identities to disguise their racism. Trust me, I have lived in several European…

Thank you for saying this. Some commenters need to understand that when we say that this isn't seen the same way by Europeans, we are NOT claiming that racism doesn't exist in Europe. In many ways, Europe is far more racist that the USA. HOWEVER, racism is a strange beast that takes many forms. It is expressed and…

Yes, that was my thought as well. If anyone sould be offended (which IMO they shouldn't, as this spread is just too silly) it should be 'trailer trash' of any colour. That seems to be the culture this shoot was mostly spawning off.

Yes, but the opposite attitude is just as restrictive in that it denies any possible reaction except agreement that the subject in question is racist. People, of all races, have a right to justify something they feel is being misinterpreted/exaggerated and not have that opinion dismissed as blindness or stupidity.

Women aren't really "shut out" of the movie trailer game any more than dudes are shut out of the GPS game. It seems to be expectation based - the audiences wants a deep, gravelly, serious voice making it clear just how epic this damn movie is, and if a lady could pull off a decent Don LaFontaine impression I don't…

Oh God. After the article below and then... the title and the picture and... I can't even...

Hear that faint scurrying sound? That's about a thousand Jezzies frantically typing "spokeo" into their search engine.

I must have missed this one when it was on the telly, but it sent chills down my spine. That whole idea of looking in on your actions as though they were someone else's can make such a difference. When you think "Wait, what would I say if a friend was telling me this was happening to her?" can really make you see your…

This is so, so smart because it tackles the fact that most guys (rightly) don't see themselves as potential rapists. But everyone knows that feeling of wishing you could go back and undo something stupid you did whilst drunk. Putting the idea of rape in that light, rather than something psychotic criminals do in dark…
