Just Wait Until We Target Cable
Vancouver Sun — This story is getting play in Canada as the skittish US media avoids anything that may be confrontational.
TORONTO (CP) – The hit feature Shrek 2 joins the ranks of animated films to be “outed” by some Christian fundamentalists in the U.S., who charge that cross-dressing and transgender themes have made their way into the beloved kids’ movie and warn parents to beware.
Although many people see the Oscar-nominated film as a humorous story about a green ogre and his true love, the Traditional Values Coalition has a different take on the animated feature.
“Shrek 2 is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages,” the coalition says on its website of the movie, a popular DVD rental. The group describes itself as a grassroots inter-denominational lobby with more than 43,000 member churches.

Here’s the the TVC Press Release:
Parents Beware: ‘Shrek 2’ Features Transgenderism And Crossdressing Themes
Summary: The DreamWorks’ animated film, “Shrek 2,” is billed as harmless entertainment but contains subtle sexual messages.
Parents who are thinking about taking their children to see “Shrek 2,” may wish to consider the following: The movie features a male-to-female transgender (in transition) as an evil bartender. The character has five o’clock shadow, wears a dress and has female breasts. It is clear that he is a she-male. His voice is that of talk show host Larry King.
During a dance scene at the end of the movie, this transgendered man expresses sexual desire for Prince Charming, jumps on him, and both tumble to the floor.
In another scene in the movie, Shrek and Donkey need to be rescued from a dungeon where they are chained against the wall. The rescue is conducted by Pinocchio who is asked to lie so his nose will grow long enough for one of the smaller cartoon characters to use it as a bridge to reach Shrek and Donkey. Donkey encourages him to lie about something and suggests he lie about wearing women’s underwear. When he denies wearing women’s underwear, his nose begins to grow.
Har!
This is actually funny because I thought the same thing when I saw it in the theatres. Of course, I couldn’t care less.
And the thing I think these guys fail to realize is that a wooden boy wearing women’s underware is FUNNY to kids. Just funny. Not sexy, not sinful, just funny. It’s really akin to dropping an anvil on someone’s head. Kids don’t find it disturbing or violent, it’s just funny.
Whatever.
When are you going to take on SYNC magazine? Techno-smut.
My take on Sync? Techno-smut? Check the calendar. Geez. We’re in the 21st -Century. Sync is mild by any International standards. Maybe not by 14th century standards, no. Is someone forcing you to read it?
Ohhh… the bartender and the woody puppet, eh?
These guys MUST have some inkling that WE ALL KNOW that it’s all projection. (Didn’t he ever read Freud?)
Come on, we can see through their thin veil of protesting. The dude probably watched Shrek so many times he wore the tape out……especially the part of the bartender (Larry Kings voice, and that body!!!Ohhhh), and worked himself into a frothy frenzy at the thought of the wooden puppet BOY wearing women’s undies. They can’t fool me.
Guy probably thinks breast feeding is a SEXUAL ACT, too. As Bugs would say…..”what a marooonnnn”
Total pervert. Have to say, I didn’t realize these thumpers were so wild! They should go back and look at the Disney Classics…..Bambi ..(big eyes, long lashes, long legs, perky tail…and a BOY), Thumper….(heh heh? His “best friend” and a rabbit too.) Sheesh!!!!!
When some leader — especially a conservative — takes on a fictional character it always ends up making them look the fool.
Think of Dan Quayle citing Murphy Brown.
Think of Jerry Falwell “outing” Tinkie Winkie.
Think of James Dobson “outing” Spongebob.
You’d think they’d learn. But they don’t apparently.
those butt-muches think that they can do what they want because they interpret the Bible incorrectly!
How about we hack the Traditional Values Coalition?
