Let’s go to the “beautiful outside, ugly inside” file, shall we?
Megan Fox, the aptly named starlet who bedazzled us in “Transformers,” is out talking up the film’s sequel, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
Wow, the title’s as clunky as a Decepticon sans WD-40.
She told Total Film UK magazine how she might handle Megatron, the franchise’s eee-vil robot who wants to wipe out the earth:
“I’d barter with him and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?”
Somewhere, a publicist is out there pulling every hair out of his/her head.
But does what Fox said matter to movie goers?
Will you re-consider supporting the film based on her ignorant comments? And would doing so only punish all the other hard-working folks who made the “Transformers” sequel possible – folks who never opened their big yaps wide enough to spew such hate?
It’s question that seems to keep coming up for movie lovers.

First of all, i didn’t realize i was supposed to site my sources but here you go:
Hitler not only breed dogs(German shepherds, of course) and took his prized female German Shepperd named Blondi to live with him in the bunker in 1945, but he never went anywhere without her and she was allowed to sleep in his bedroom with him. A privilege that even his girlfriend Eva Braun enjoyed.

(…) We Germans, who are the only people in the world who have a decent attitude towards animals, will also assume a decent attitude towards these human animals. But it is a crime against our own blood to worry about them and give them ideals

While certianly not all people who live in middle America oppose gay rights, and not all people who oppse gay rights live in middle America, the MAJORITY(not all, but the majority) live in the Central and mountian time-zones. Instead of giving you a dozen sources, i’ll just give you one irefutable one; http://www.census.gov, that’s the U.S. Census Bureau.
Second, she didn’t say she wanted to give up any part of our great nation, you’re making assumptions again, she said that if she could have a conversation with a FICTIONAL CHARACTER she would ask him to take specific people out of a part of our nation.
Third, I never said I agreed with her. Her remake was narrow minded and obsene, but your reaction to it, attemping to organize a boycot of a film that she had very little to do with the creation of, simply because you don’t agree with her viewpoint, is just as obsene and narrowminded.
Finally, and i promise this will be my last post, because I’m sure the creator of this website didn’t intend this to become such a heated debate, and for that, i apologize, I will leave you (specifically you, Missouri Red Leg)with a few quotes:
“When a man uses profanity to support an argument, it indicates that either the man or the argument is weak – probably both”
“Profanity is the attempt of a lazy and feeble mind to express itself forcefully”
“Profanity is the common crutch of the conversational cripple.”
I’m not going to tell you who said these, however. Hopefully, you’ll take the time to look them up, which will be the first step in giving yourself the education that you have obviously been denied.
O.K., One more thing; That education jab was only aimed at Missouri Red Leg, the rest of the people on here seem to be intelligent people, whether i agree with your viewpoints or not, i appreciate the opportunity to share them and hear yours.
Thanks cftoto
Open Your Mind …. thanks for the feisty debate … and for keeping things reasonable! I’m not for a boycott of the film (although after having seen it I should be!) but the boycott option in on the table for other topics/situations, so I thought it was fair game for discussion and debate here.
