Come on...this is less about Hollywood out to 'castrate' men. It's more about Hollywood being unable to write comedy anymore. Take away groin shots and poop jokes and Hollywood has nothing to say on the subject any more.Dude, the fact is, those actors who take the shot at the groin in the movies are men themselves. Some of it, may not be funny, and some of it may. But the fact is, liberals have made their money by making cheap shots at us, in the same fashion that you are doing right now. Im not the type of person to whine and cry over something stupid like this, come on man dont lower yourself to their levels. What you say might be true, but its not worth bringing up.
I thought schadenfreudeTM belonged to FR. Someone send the LA Times a cease and desist letter.

Unless, of course, she downs the guy with one shot to the shoulder, then drops the gun and turns away crying while he slowly revives......

A kick in the groin doesn't hurt a lie'bral...
And playing on my stereo while reading this article, track 8 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002JNN/qid=1090423085/sr=8-6/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i6_xgl15/103-1086048-3054261?v=glance&s=music&n=507846
Sometimes you just gotta love the natural sense of humor reality has.

Hysterical. |
When I first glanced at this headline I thought Hollywood was asking Bergler to expose his docs.
Around about that time, us boys were figuring out that if you hit another boy in the doodads, they will turn multiple shades of blue and red and collapse in a heap on the floor. Pretty cool to watch, not much fun being on the receiving end.
Well, one day, Sister Irene Marie just happened to waddle around the corner when one of the bigger guys in our class, Johnny, dropped the class nerd, Patrick with a devastating blow to the groinal regions. The good sister was fuming as she came to Patrick's aide and helped him down to the nurse's office to rest. When she returned we were all sitting in our seats waiting for class to start. Sister Irene Marie stormed into the room, slamming the door behind her and marched down the aisle to Johnny's seat, grabbed him by the ear and marched him up to the front of the room.
She started lecturing all of us about the dangers of hitting boys below the belt and how it also can be harmful to a person's pride. She saw nothing humorous in our primitive behavior and she told us that she will no longer tolerate the bigger, more athletic kids picking on their smaller and weaker classmates and with that, she spun around with a balled up fist and WHAM!, nailed Johnny in the doodads. As his cheeks swelled and his eyes crossed, his knees buckled and down he went.
Picture, if you will, 26 5th grade boys and girls all simultaneously falling out of their chairs laughing so hard, tears were running down our cheeks. Ahh, Parochial School, I hated it so much then but the memories will last a lifetime.
There is a growing movement among men to boycott advertisers and movie producers who make a joke of men getting kicked to the groin. I think its about time. There is nothing funny about violence or sexual assault, no matter who inflicts it on whom.
Note as to how often the groin shot occurs (often by a woman) when the male oaf expresses a politically incorrect thought about women or feminism. Ball breaking as thought control?
The america's home video shows usually have the man getting a blow to the groin due to his own stupidity or trying to perform jackass stunts or a child inflicts the blow with a kiddie baseball bat or during sports. They have videos of women, little babies and tiny pets having painful spills and mishaps too.
The males who get kicks to the groin are usually harassing, annoying, obnoxious pricks. Innapropriate and annoying behavior would never be directed or attempted with other males especially ones stronger and bigger. Most men wouldn't insult or provoke a man. He knows there is a good chance of getting his ass severly kicked by a man and he would have to get into a fight. The male usually only attempts audacious arrogant behavior with someone smaller and weaker than himself with no weapons closeby. He assumes the female will have a submissive non-violent reaction. When he does get smacked, it's funny.
It would be funny too if an arrogant stuck up snobby girl landed in the mud after a good smack from the high school nerd girl who always let herself get pushed around.
I know violence is always wrong etc. but let's get real, it's just a comedy show and real women usually don't go around kicking guys in the groin because girls know the male could resort to violence in retaliation.
The title is misleading. It's not that "Hollywood Thinks It's Hysterical When Men Take A Shot the Groin," it's that PEOPLE think it's hysterical when a man takes a shot to the groin.
And it doesn't mean that writers have lost the ability to write comedy, either. This humor has been around forever, as the article states. It has been a part of moviemaking since the first camera rolled.
I'll grant you that there aren't as many intelligent comedies as there are slapstick, but that's the free market for you. Kids spend more money on films, so it's no surprise that the films are more jeuvenile.
