Shrek 2 "Outed"

[walldude]

A few weeks ago when SpongeBob got "outed" there was a thread about helping the religious right out other cartoon characters who might be gay. It was pretty funny. I mentioned in the thread that there were a few "gay tolerant" things in the movie Shrek 2 and waddya know:

1. What a bunch of wankers.

Don't they have better things to do with their time?

2. Now that the rovbots have republicans terrified of secret messages in

cartoons - perhaps that will keep them busy for a while and they will not have to get married a 3rd time. It will fill a need.

3. yea, any kid who doesn't know what's going on in shrek 2

shouldn't be watching the movie in the first place. tha'ts a pretty raunchy movie. isn't it at least pg, basically bc they don't swear?

4. They are making themselves irrelevant by being to silly

These people always go too far too fast - they make themselves irrelevant almost within weeks. It's laughable - this isn't the first time this sillyness has happenened in my lifetime - and it won't be the last. At least we haven't lost all of our jobs to China yet - when that happens we won't have time for all this sillyness...

5. When is this going to end

What we need are some good strong cartoon characters. Anti-gay, war mongering, intolerant, white christian cartoons. With a bible in one hand and a bloody cross in the other, Sponge Bob goes off to kill his fellow sponges.

A belief in a religion with a central dichotomy between good and evil, breeds a continuous paranoia concerning the machinations on the part of evil. I would be exhausted having to live my life in this manner. Opps, I apologize, I am evil, and I approved this message.

6. He did hold hands with Charlie Chaplin at the Oscars.

HE MUST BE GAY!!

And so must Chaplin be gay for holding hands with Shrek in a film clip at the beginning of the Oscars this evening.

The Horror, the horror.....

7. Actually Charlie Chaplain was the only comedien to have the guts

& the financial independance to do the negative movie about Hitler just as WWII was breaking out. Nobody else would touch it.

I thought that Chaplain & Shreik holding hands and walking off into the sunset was actually a gauntlet toss of sorts. Perhaps a little foreshadowing, perhaps just stirring the freeper pot. But nevertheless there is not a symbol of Hollywood more antifascist or anti-elite than Chaplain. And Shreik is the newsest scapegoat? So the two scapegoats walk off into the sunset holding hands...kicking a ball between then, I thought it was lovely.

8. I'll put it on my list of film to see.

9. The Great Dictator is the name of the film. I have seen clips but it

seems very appropriate for Bush. Especially the part where Chaplain (as Hitler) dances around a room doing a Burlesque bubble dance with a globe of the world. It may be heartbreaking to see because in the movie Chaplain also plays a Jew being persecuted. I don't know.

10. I've seen the "Great Dictator many many times"

Isn't " Shrek 2 " a film?

[applegrove]

11. Yes - sorry, I haven't seen either of them. I may try shreik 2 (I hear it

was excellent).
