I read Cat Run however I do see what you guys mean, it was a more than unfortunate logo, so unfortunate in fact that I suspect it was done on purpose.

Now I do not want to bring up the argument in this thread as it is just so unnecessary, how can a friendly round of jokes over a bad taste poster lead to this. I will say however that as a bisexual woman I do take offense to the word faggot being used to diss someone. First off all faggot is offensive in an off itself, but more offensive is using saying you are gay as a way to insult someone, as if being gay is so bad it is good to use as an insult, that is disrespectful to the gay community.

Now I have never heard kiwi used about any person before, to my mind kiwi is a little green fruit, and a damned well tasting one at that. However racial slurs are seldom a good idea no matter how well meaning as they can easily insult people. Come on can we not just talk about our love of horror movies and be friends?

Be careful treading through that peacemaking minefield. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes offence at your calling him a little green fruit, albeit a tasty one:D

Anyway, back on topic, did nobody else see 'cunt rat'? Perhaps I'm too suggestible. If he hadn't pointed it out I'd probably never have noticed anything rude in the poster.

I'm not sure I would have seen either "c**t" or "c**t rat" if they hadn't been pointed out. Now that they have, that's all I see.

I can see how one could read the title wrong, but if it had not been pointed out I am not sure my mind would have gone in that direction. That being said, we have been talking allot on the movie poster, what is this movie about really?
