Elisha Cuthbert Movie Ads Pulled For Being Too Gruesome

That’s really disgusting. It reminds me of the Bijou Phillips poster for Hostel 2. I’m so sick of Hollywood trying to make violence against women entertaining or even worse sexualizing it so more perverted men get turned on from seeing a naked woman beheaded or being tortured. Um…THESE THINGS UNFORTUNATELY HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. I just read an article about a woman in Wisconsin who was bound, raped by two men, and tortured before being killed and having her body burned…IT’S AWFUL and no one should even want to see this on a billboard ad on their way to work or have their kids see this from their car seat. Anyone who finds the torture of young women entertaining or is a turn on for them needs to get serious help or be locked up in prison.

It’s a horror movie poster. I haven’t seen the movie, so I’ll reserve judgement on it (after all, Pretty Woman was a movie about t the great, happy lives of prostitutes), but the poster is pretty tame. If the first commenter had her way, I’m sure only Disney movies would be advertised (if not released), but this is the real world, where not everyone is an uptight parent with control issues.

Perhaps if you lock your children in the closet for 18 years, they won’t ever have to see anything that isn’t warm and fuzzy.

No, Michael you are WRONG. I think children (up to a certain age) as well as adults need to realize the SERIOUSNESS of certain issues and not exploit them or sexualize them. If there was a documentary out on violence against women in this country or the reasons why so many women and children in the world are forced into prostitution then YES show photos that will outrage people so much into seeing the movie. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Putting out a poster of a beheaded woman for a fictional horror movie makes no sense. It is only to entertain the male gaze (the perverted male gaze). Do you ever see posters of naked beheaded men or men who are not only violently killed but photographed in a way to make it sexualized? No, not really. I realize it’s a horror movie (and I hear it’s a pretty bad one at that). But don’t make the lame excuse that people like me want to protect children from violent imagery. Actually, yes, I don’t think an innocent five year old really needs to see violent imagery just yet. There is a thing called childhood and there is nothing wrong about protecting children until they are mature enough to understand the seriousness of photos like this. When they are old enough to understand that violence against women or any human being is wrong. DUMBASS!

Oink Oink, when is “old enough” for you? Honestly, my mother didn’t really shelter me and I saw movies like Nightmare on Elm street and Chuck when I was ten years old. Sure, I had nightmares but now that I’m older, I can actually be able to see these movies and know its not real cause my mom explained to me that they were HORROR movies.
I see movie adds like this and really, whats so bad about them? The only one I would want them to replace is the torture one (the one with the hose up the nose.) Our society is all for “protecting our kids” and all for censorship. Honestly, it should be the parents responsibility to do the censorship, not the governments responsibility. This is limiting our rights as movie goers to see what we want.

And attacking people with profanity is so immature.

I think I’m going to have to agree with the NY National Organization for Women. Here is a link to the violent America’s Next Top Model photo shoot. I guess SOME people look at photos of strangled and mutilated women and think it’s OK. This has nothing to do with Chucky or Nightmare on Elm street which I also watched as a child. This is about VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. Most of these ads are geared towards the sexualization of violence against women specifically. There is a reason why most of the people portrayed as victims are women and not men. Here is a quote from NOW: “Violence against women is such a reality in our society that I certainly don’t need the entertainment industry making entertainment out of it.” AGREED

Nightmare on Elm street had violence to women. How can you contradict yourself by saying advertisements like these are hurting women when you don’t mind old scary movies. All a scary movie does is hurt women in disgusting ways. I can teach my children whether what is real and what we can do and what is right. If parents would just take care of their kids, then people wouldn’t do this in real life. Sadly, parents are just letting their kids run free while doing what ever they want to do.

And so what about models and their poses? It’s a business that try to shock people to buy their product. Who cares. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

Since we live in a FREE SOCIETY where there shouldn’t be any namby-pamby MORALITY POLICE, we have the right to see any images we like. Many kinds of images are controverial, but so what? By what standard do you dare judge others’ tastes? So what if lots of men like to see women humiliated, abused, violated, and killed off? It’s a TOTALLY FREE SOCIETY and all of us have the constitutional right to enjoy whatever fetish images we like. Fascist morality policegirls need to cool it.

Thank you Mr. Holmes, my point exactly. It is a free society. Unless we are a dictatorship and not a democracy, we can watch what ever we want.

There would not be a market for such grewsome movies if people did not keep going to see them. Don’t get your panties in a wad because some director/producer is capitalizing on that to pay his bills. And since we all know that there are sickos out there that are trying to imitate what they see on TV or at the movies, all women need to carry mace, watch your back, and trust your instincts. Yeah, that means don’t stay in the elevator when that creepy looking man gets on just because you don’t want to “seem rude”. And teach your kids to stop talking to strangers.

I completely disagree with all of you and find it appalling that our society is so desensitized to violence that people (even women and mothers like Veronica) can justify images like the America’s Top Model shoot. And yes I have watched horror movies but I didn’t say I enjoyed them. In fact, if you look at the demographic that watches horror flicks that victimize women, you will find that these films appeal the most to teenaged boys since most women don’t enjoy watching images of their gender raped, beaten, and mutilated. If you didn’t see the show the reactions of the judges made it even worse (no, I don’t watch ATM but I’ve read a lot about this episode). Here is what they say:
What’s great about this is that you can also look beautiful in death.
I think you look absolutely wonderful.
Death becomes you, young lady.
If nothing else this should not be a message conveyed to young models or the young girls and women who watch this show. Is this what you would want someone to say to your daughter? What kind of society teaches people that murder is sexy? There is one thing to kill people in a horror film or in art. But to focus murder solely on women and sexualize it is not right. Just because it is a show or a movie producers freedom to do this stuff doesn’t make it right or something that all of us should accept. Just hope that your daughter or female family member is ever a victim of such a fantasy that is played out in magazines, tv shows, movies, and violent pornography. Just ask yourself why these sorts of things are focused on women and not men. If nothing else it’s just tacky and tasteless.

Well, I have to agree with Oinkoink on this one. I agree that people have the right to see the movie by paying for it and viewing it in a closed setting with like-minded people (teenage boys mostly). The problem I see is where we are forced, on our way to work or when our kids are on the school bus, to view such images. I live in Canada where there is more control over issues regarding hate and female victimization and violence, and I’m glad about that. You may wonder why the U/S. is rated at the top of “developed” countries when it comes to violence and murder, the answer lies in the responses to Oinkoink’s original letter. “Let us do what we want and don’t regulate us” seems to be extremely important to Americans, unfortunately, it will eventually lead to your downfall (same issue as Bush “going it along” in Iraq - we know where that has led you). I feel bad for people like Oinkoink who seem to be intellegent, articulate and caring about their fellow person, when they are demonized by the “freedom for anything” kind of mentality that seems to prevail in much of the U.S.
You can’t deny that if the movie was about a man being captured, raped, tortured and killed, very few men (or women) would go to see it. The movie will make money because it plays on an the attitude that women are men’s toys and possessions. After all, you people can’t even pass a simple amendment to guarentee women’s rights (a bill that was first proposed in 1923 if you can believe it.)
Anyway, the next time Bush spouts off about saving the “women” in Afganastan, keep in mind your own attitudes towards women.
By the way I am a man, in case you were wondering…
