Cinema Blend's Josh Tyler: Idiot of the Day

In a classic case of Epically Missing the Point, Cinema Blend's Josh Tyler defends the use of "gay" as an insult in the new Vince Vaughn, uh hum, movie...

The larger issue is its presence in the movie, where it makes gay people the butt of a joke and uses language that denigrates us for a laugh.” Except that’s untrue. It doesn’t make gay people the butt of a joke. The trailer pretty clearly says the word isn’t being used in reference to gay people at all. Electric cars are the butt of the joke.
