athenaltenaI found a website called "Screen It" that looks at movies and decides whether they're "family appropriate" and found a bunch of gems. This one in particular about Watchmen:
"The person responsible for The Comedian and others' deaths obviously has a bad attitude."
And no, I don't think they were being ironic. This site clearly takes itself far too seriously. Besides, any parent who takes a kid under the age of 16 to Watchmen in the first place deserves to get dropped down an elevator shaft, IMO.
They also said this about the new Star Trek movie under the category "Imitative behavior", after things like a kid driving a car over a cliff:
"Some kids might imitate the Vulcan hand gesture of spreading apart the two adjacent fingers on each side of the hand."
I get that the point of these websites is to prevent things like dumbass parents taking their kids to movies like Watchmen, but the unintended comedy is too much for someone who actually knows what these movies are about. It probably helps that I'm old enough that I can see any movie I want and have a healthy sense of humor about things like this.
