I have and will continue to say this....Political Correctness is what will lead this country down the toilet.

I think the execs at Warner Brothers clearly "messed up" in the sloppy way they handled the situation. Not only did they answer the response in a lazy way, but they also did not stand behind the creative direction of the film maker. I think the line accurately depicts the creepy nature of the film. This film is in the horror genre and it concerns a demented orphan who is obviously not represenative of all oprphans.So the "offensive" line is referring to the main character, not orphans in general.

I do not understand people who CAN'T comprehend in their minds that this is ONLY A MOVIE. NOT A SERMON TO ORPHANS.
It's just kind of pathetic that instead of watching trailers to nitpick bad things about them...these people need to be worrying about the kids and their lives and not some movie that came from an idea.

You know whats really funny? Adoption Agencies are a joke. Child Protection Services is the most corrupt system our government has. I hope this movie does well so they all can shut the **** up. If you are for CPS and adoption agencies, then you are advocating Legal Child Trafficking. Most of the taxes you pay are going toward The Department of Health and Human services. 50% of that goes toward taking children out of good homes. But don't take my word for it. Research it yourself. I hope this movie does well.

What kids can't read or watch television? They're not dumb. I mean, really, is it even needed - "It must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own." It's a dumb tag line for the movie anyway. What - is it supposed to be scary? I agree with you on the other things but come on. Those kids worry enough about that as it is they don't need something to reinforce those feelings. So, grow a heart and think of somebody else besides yourself for a change.

@Nunya
I agree with you on this one. Warner Bros. shouldn't be required to make any changes but should do it because it's the right thing. Those ads come on regular TV. There are tons of people who will see it outside of their targeted demographic. Doesn't matter who the film is targeted towards if it's in the trailer. This is a sensitive subject for the many kids who areadopted/ orphaned.

I would defend this movie, but it looks terrible so I don't care.
Posted by: noob on May 30, 2009 at 18:59:58
nunya, you are absolutely 100% correct. that tagline is unnecessary. these kids have enough to worry about without garbage like this coming on national television! i mean their parents are dead for God's sakes! just sit there and think what your life would be like if you were a small child, and just up and out of the blue your parents were killed! then you went to live with some "relative" you've never met in your entire life, you just happen to be watching television, then this trailer comes on. "it must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own." you'd go into hysterics.
@ ignitedspade
no CPS isn't the MOST corrupted system our governement has. it's our criminal justice system that is completely ****ed up, all to hell. the thought of someone going to trial is just hilarious because 9 times out of 10 the punishment does fit the crime, and/or vice versa.

That's the most f*&^* bull**** I've ever heard, they should change it. I'm adopted - trust me, there's enough doubt and shame from the terms culture has come up to name us. WTF WB - I mean, awesome company, but... come on!
As for not for kids... I'm twenty-one & adopted. Not the audience? What about adoptees in general, not just kids?!
That's like a poster saying "you can't love a black kid, they're ghetto"... political correctness? Yeah right, you know damn well there would be outrage over that!

i'd care but this movie looks like absolute **** ina bag.
Posted by: Mortath on May 31, 2009 at 23:17:42
Your kidding me right? because some one gets their panties in a bunch that some one may get offended they are taking something out. Next they will be taking the twin towers out of movies because it will remind us of what happened and offend some one. Oh wait... its already happened.
Posted by: Marley Greiner on June 27, 2009 at 20:17:53
The only ones complaining about the tagline are adopters, paps, and the adoption industry that feeds off of them. These are the same people who claim that Anne of Green Gables is adoptee abuse. You'll seldom if ever find these nutters complaining about real adoption issues: sealed adoption records, identity theft, coercive relinquishments and child trafficking.
Posted by: grownup on July 9, 2009 at 16:15:59
WTF???? got it right.
Adoptees, like other minorities and special needs groups, don't need Warner Brothers reinforcing the notion that something is wrong with them. There is plenty of that going around already.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler said "Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end satanically glaring at and spying on the unconscious girl whom he plans to seduce, adulterating her blood with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate."
Hey WB, sounds like a great new movie trailer!! Think the founders of your company would have any problem with it? And exactly how is your "Orphan" movie any different?

Adoptees are pissed off that Adoptive parents are upset about this movie because of that *one* line
Its Pathetic isnt it !
They should Try being an adoptee and always potrayed as a psycho in a movie or drama series or any TV Show!! My answer to it is here
