Fox apologized for its xmen apocalypse promo ad that featured Jennifer Lawrence being choked by Oscar Isaac's apocalypse. Some have called Fox out for the ad calling it offensive.

I don't want to cross that line but i am ao tired of all the whining sissies in this country making huge deals out of nothing. More so I am tired even more tired of this companies rolling over on to their backs and apologizing for everything they do. At some point soon there will just be a permanent banner and all ads and everything with disclaimer saying they are sorry for any content in the ad.

People are going to throw fits aboit this and make it a scene and draw tje eye to it where as if they would habe ignored it it would have never made headlines like it has now. Which is why Fox is so ok with apologizing and making it a news topic.

Lets throw fits about things that are happening in this country that truly impact day to day life instead of spilled milk.

Personally I do not see anything wrong with the ad. This was not something that was done to belittle women. In fact Jennifer Lawrence is one of Hollywood's leading actors/actresses. This is a case of people being over sensitive. Any one who have seen the current xmen franchise can attest to Mystique, Lawrence's character, being a strong female character despite Lawrence mailing it in during her performance in xmen apocalypse. I think this is the case of the pendulum singing too far the other way where someone can get offended by anything and demand a change where a change is not warranted.

Those who have never seen X Men would not be able to tell that is a woman being strangled from that photo. Only a blue person
At the bottom of the article the true agenda is revealed. Feminism and pretending offense to push the agenda.

The local conservative talk radio was having a field day with this. The thing is, Mystique is gonna kick his ass so who should we feel sorry for? Also, do women want to be pitied and coddled when in a conflict as the weaker sex, or do they want to be considered equals? If that were Mystique strangling Apocalypse would anyone be upset? Smh

The "sissification" (only due to our family friendly forum is the G-rated term used here) of America is out of control. What really bothers me is when comedians have to publicly apologize for jokes they make because they offended someone.

Ridiculous issues such as this have become all too commonplace in our society. While the days of Richard Pryor & George Carlin are long gone, these two comedic greats would have had a field day over crap like this if they were alive today.

OMG, could you imagine, "The seven insults you can't say about people who are of a certain gender or race".

Saw the movie last night. People of many colors & different sexes fought each other. I was not offended.

This, as I wrote before, was a ploy to drop folks from going to see the truth, that everybody gets beat up and beats everybody up, because there wasn't a female director. It had nothing to do with the ad, the movie itself or even the target audience.
