From USA Today: The film [Rango], which opened Friday and topped the weekend box office with a gross of $38 million, includes at least 60 instances of characters smoking, said Kori Titus, CEO of the Sacramento-based non-profit Breathe California.
Dude, why are people still bitching about smoking in movies? Movies are in certain aspects supposed to mimic real life. Guess what happens in real life? A lot of people smoke. Like, tell your kids that smoking is bad or something. Why do we think that Rango is like the parent to children? You sit in the theater with your little shit and tell them that smoking cause cancer and yadda yadda blah blah. Then they smoke or they don't, they try it or they don't.
And people are mentioning that the movie is PG so it's not okay to show smoking. What the fuck? Rango - rate PG-13 for cigarettes. So fucking lame. What about the kids who watch this movie and their parents already smoke? Do you think Rango will still be the reason they light up? These anti-smoking people are annoying. Hey, why not work on getting cigarettes outlawed or some stupid shit, why harass movie producers about putting smoking in their movies?
Isn't Rango supposed to be in the Wild West? Of course there is fucking smoking. What about Frosty the Snowman? He has a fucking corncob pipe. Should we change it to a Tootsie Roll? Like it or not, smoking is part of American culture at some level. Parents can't just cop out and say "Rango made my kids smoke." It's called parenting, teach them about smoking, and then let the chips fall where they may.
america was built on tobacco bitches
