You're post won't be pulled...that's what this thread is for -- non Adam stuff.
I don't think they should remove the F-words. This was filmed in schools where kids hear and say the word. There's nothing shocking about it to those kids. The MPAA is ridiculous for giving it an R rating. The very people who are meant to see it now can't because of the rating. I hope Weinstein fights this as hard as he can.

Anderson Cooper did a special about this film and there is no doubt this needs to be seen by every kid and parent and school administrator.

my point was ....if bleeping the f-words (of which the kids already know exactly what is being bleeped...they are not stupid) can bring the film into the schools.....then mission has been accomplished......on the other hand, if Weinstein can change the ruling...more power to him. Main thing here, though, is the showing of the film in schools....if that means bleeping the words...so be it.

Could they screen it for kids who got signed permission slips from their parents to view it? R doesn't mean kids under 17 can't see it, it just means they have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, which you might be able to get around by using a permission slip.

I hadn't realized Pharell Williams is one of the musical consultants for the Oscars tonight. Should be interesting.

Shots Fired: Seth Rogen Criticizes Chris Brown, the Grammys

This weekend, Seth Rogen joined the growing ranks of Chris Brown critics. Hosting the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday (Feb. 25), the comedian was certainly riskier than Billy Crystal at last night's Oscars, the award show Rogen compared to the Grammys telecast two weeks ago.

An Open Letter to Rihanna: It's Time to Talk That Talk
http://www.billboard.com/news/features/an-...006219752.story

"You say a few hateful things, they don't let you within a few hundred yards of the Oscars........., "You can literally beat the crap out of a nominee and they'll ask you to perform twice at the Grammys," he said, referring to -- but of course -- Chris Brown. Watch Rogen's opening speech below (with Brown disses coming 5:30 into the speech).

Rogen's joke doesn't reflect an uncommon reaction to what appeared to be the Grammys' open-armed celebration of Brown, just three years after he violently beat then-girlfriend Rihanna. Last week, however, Rihanna showed that she has forgiven her former abuser, collaborating with him on two remixes. Over the weekend, Rih took to Twitter to single out a fan who criticized her decision to collaborate with Brown again. Neither Chris Brown nor Rihanna have acknowledged Rogen's diss via their preferred communication channel, their respective Twitter accounts.

Hmmmm, I knew that there was a reason that I liked Seth Rogen (other than being Canadian too, of course! ).

Is anyone watching The Voice????

Adam has a GREAT team by far. I think one of his singers will win again this year. Tons of talent there.

Blake has the second best group.

There is a lot of talent this season. I'm impressed with the variety on each team.

Lots of talents there and exciting ones too.

Another day, another assshole bigot. It's amazing that in this day and age, homosexuals are the one group that many ppl still feel they have a right to deride, oppress and basically deny its existence and human rights.

We really don't have any real dangers and worries in the world anymore.

I read that, and I was like, REALLY? We don't live in the 1980's any more, when homosexuality was frowned upon. Can't believe I used to be a fan of this guy.

GLAAD is slamming him for it, though. And rightfully so.

KC like 99% of the most fanatic homophobes is most likely a repressed/closeted homosexual. Women who are fanatic homophobes are most likely married to one/had their hearts broken by one.

TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!!

This stuff with Kirk Cameron doesn't surprise me. He's been living an extremely religious life since he was in his late teens. He's very hardcore with his beliefs.

Piers Morgan interviewed Harvey Weinstein, this movie cannot be shown in schools because it has an R rating the F-bomb is said 6 times. This post will probably be pulled because it has nothing to do with Adam, but until these actions are addressed cruel, taunting behavior will continue.

I hope this gets worked out so they can show it in schools. Bullying is a horrible thing and stays with a person for the rest of their lives - it is always a shadow in the background (and sometimes front and center). I was bullied for years, then as an adult, I was bullied by a supervisor too. It is everywhere, unfortunately.
