No Making Fun of Green Cars
Universal pulled a movie trailer because a CNN news anchor got upset with a joke about electric cars. This the line that upset him \"Electric cars are gay. Not homosexual gay, but my-parents-are-chaperoning-the-dance gay.\" uttered by Vince Vaughn in the trailer. No he isn't upset about the word Gay it's the insult of the electric car that upset him.

I heard some green electric car wag say gas should have another $4.00 a gal tax added so more people will buy electric. Now I want to know is how that electric car will tow my 7k lb trailer? Or if the electric car will be able to carry full 4' x 8' sheets of plywood inside? So what the wag was saying was screw you guys in the construction trades as he wants to see us go broke. I wonder if these simple minded thoughts from people coming up with these ideas have a clue as to how the country really works.
Unless I found a different incident (you posted no link), I find it incredibly hard to believe that you watched the interview and formed those conclusions on your own.No he isn't upset about the word Gay it's the insult of the electric car that upset him.

If this is what you are refering to, (again, no link), can you please tell what made you draw such a conclusion?

It all depends where you read about it.
edit: Just so you all know it was most likely used as in it's most recent usage as in rubbish or stupid. ie To constantly be PC is so gay.

So why get so upset when a person who isn't a news anchor nor has all the education of said position can see it was use in the newer fashion of the word.
my-parents-are-chaperoning-the-dance is stupid.
The word was used to mean merry happy.
Being on guard constantly to be insulted will result in you being insulted constantly.
Oh by the way I still can't get that link up you posted.

As you posted, the word \"Gay\" has interesting history. AC wasn't the first to complain, GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) was.
I guess, the inappropriate joke, to answer your question, is that Hollywood still needs costume designers . But there is some truth in that, they are a big part of the community, they were offended, and all AC did was give it attention.So why get so upset when a person who isn't a news anchor nor has all the education of said position can see it was use in the newer fashion of the word.
I can't either now, but could this morning. I think its their end. I can't even get on http://ellen.warnerbros.com/Oh by the way I still can't get that link up you posted.
