I'm not sure how I feel about all of this.

I can see the fact that it's being used as a derogatory term, so I agree it shouldn't be used in a trailer that kids would see.

However, I also think it can stay in the movie. People use the "n" word in movies, as well as other derogatory terms toward just about every race and group. Yes, it (using that term as a derogatory term) shouldn't be something that's perpetuated, but with all the other "bad" stuff that's in movies, that seems fairly tame to me.

(What's the movie rated?)

Responses:

No rating yet. Perhaps not trailer fodder, but if it's pulled from the movie, well, that's just chickenshit - TWuG Oct 15, 08:12 5

- i actually really don't like the usage that way (the same way i hate the used of 'retarded') and i think if it's used in a mainstream way like this, - Andie Oct 15, 08:16 3

    - See, it treads a fine line (to me). Stop using it in mainstream media, it (most likely) stops getting used in mainstream society. - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:28
  - It's a vince vaughn movie. How mainstream can it be? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 08:19
