Some not smiling over Juno’s sarcasm

The San Francisco Chronicle has an article describing how some people are offended by a bit of dialogue in Juno, the best picture nominated film.

NewMexiKen has seen the film twice and enjoyed it immensely both times, including the offensive line.

In one scene, the title character sarcastically tells the rich suburban couple hoping to adopt her unborn child, “You shoulda gone to China. You know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those T-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.”

What do you think? Insensitive writer and director or too sensitive audience?

  1. How much you wanna bet the people offended by this line are the same people who didn’t actually go and see the movie?

  2. I, like you NewMexiKen, enjoyed the movie immensely. I thought it was a breath of fresh air among some of the tripe that is put out there.
