We have a winner for 'dumbest thing I've read this week'
Black men should boycott King Kong because it's secretly about black male hypersexuality.
And check out this final line: 'It left me thinking, that if censors look at violence, sex, and sexual violence when giving a certificate why do they not look at negative racial stereotypes?'
Update: Well, at least he's not alone in his insanity.

What's hypersexuality? Is that kids with ADD getting it on?
Posted by: Dave at December 15, 2005 01:13 PMMcKenzie is the racist. He is making the link between blacks and apes, not the movie.
He also does not know black history. This movie is set in the early 1930s in Manhattan, and blacks made up 4% of the population (not 15%) with 72% of them living in Harlem. The great migration of blacks from the south did not begin until the start of WWII. The number of black faces in the movie was accurate for the time and setting of the movie.
Being racist and ignorant is no way to go through life, McKenzie.

Posted by: ken at December 15, 2005 06:49 PM"Film theory" people have been making this argument for about 75 years- it's nothing new.
Posted by: Steve at December 15, 2005 08:14 PMYeah, well, if it's nothing new, that just proves stupidity doesn't have an expiration date.
Posted by: Mark Poling at December 16, 2005 10:57 AMWell now I have heard everything.
Do some people just sit and try to work out the most idiotic thing possible?????
Whats next. "Black men shouldnt watch Rocky I,II, or III because the fight scenes are an attempt by white supremacists to supress blacks and demonstrate fictional white superiority."
