Governments Annoyed By Rapefest Movies

If you haven't been reading around the internet lately, you've probably missed the controversy surrounding Dakota Fanning's new movie. Allow me to summarize, because the whole thing is almost boring enough to make a man take a spoon to his eyes in frustration. Dakota Fanning is a little girl. Dakota Fanning makes a movie where she gets raped. Then, and this was the easy part to see coming, people get annoyed at the fact that they're watching a movie where a little girl gets raped. And by people, of course, I mean the government of North Carolina, where Hounddog was shot, who now want to restrict some movies from getting government tax breaks unless they submit a script for screening beforehand.

"Using the controversy surrounding the Dakota Fanning film "Hounddog", State Senate Republican leader Phil Berger tells The Wilmington Star that he wants government approval on scripts before filming can be conducted in North Carolina.

A complete violation on free rights? Well not exactly. Seems the system only applies to films seeking the state's lucrative filmmaker incentive, which refunds as much as 15 percent of what productions spend in North Carolina from the state treasury.

"Why should North Carolina taxpayers pay for something they find objectionable?" said Berger who is presently drafting the proposed legislation."

This does make sense, especially considering how shitty Hounddog is rumored to be. If you're going to make a movie where there's a giant, heavily-publicized rape scene involving a famous little girl, make sure your movie doesn't fucking blow. Also, you could at least have the decency to make it a hot one. Isn't it time, for example, that the Olsen twinsstart honing their acting talents, Dakota Fanning style?
