First of all. I really do like Anderson Cooper of CNN, as a news reporter. However, I am wondering why he now is taking such a strong stand on this issue. The reason I ask is because it was not long ago Mr. Cooper had been photographed along side of Mr. Andy Cohen,(of the Real Housewives Franchise on BRAVO TV) at a fashion show. Mr. Cohen has made it well known he is gay. So is Mr. Cooper once and for all, going to answer the question about his own sexual life style? (Not that it is anyone's business.) Or has he answered that question and I missed it?......Jeepers

How come when it's something to do with Gays it becomes such a big deal?, when it's not always meant that way some people are too sensitive and take every little thing way out of line.

Just to add to what I said below, by feminine I don't mean that a gay man is a female, I mean that gay men often, but not always, have more feminine attributes to their character/personality. To me, the scene is simply equating this to the green car. Vince Vaughn's character is saying that those cars aren't going to appeal to people who like Harley's, hot rods, or pick-up trucks. And, in reality, it's true. Green cars don't sell well to ultra masculine men.

Anderson Cooper is trying to turn this into a "politically correct" issue about bullying, etc. No one is bullying anybody as a result of this scene. The meaning behind the scene in the movie is in the fact that most green cars look feminine. In this scene, they are equating feminine with the word gay. They are not saying that gay = stupid or gay = bad as Cooper is trying to imply. 99% of the world would answer "feminine" when asked what word comes to mind when you hear the word "gay"? Did anyone address the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin? Maybe Cooper would have more of an argument.

I thought Ron Howard was kinda intelligent. Apparently not if he is happy to trade in cheap homophobia. The lowest common denominator wins again. Go neanderthals!
