Ooh, is this about the "comedy date-rape" thing?

Because nothing's funnier than raping unconcious girls! (The director wanted to do it without even the drugged semi-concious consent, you know. Because rape is its own punchline!)

...In other news I am so fucking sick of Seth Rogen, why is he in like eleven billion movies?!

That makes me so incredibly angry. Someone needs to give Seth Rogen a kick in the balls and ban him from ever making/starring in any movie every again.

In Seth Rogen's defense, he is just an actor. He didn't write the movie, and he doesn't necessarily agree with everything in it. A lot of actors take roles in movie they don't like, but a gig is a gig, especially for an actor like Seth Rogen who isn't the conventional actor-shape. I also don't agree with his comment, but he is an actor who is payed to support the movie he is in. The fact that Anna Farris could say that much about the scene is actually a rarity. I am actually a fan of Seth Rogen's. I think he's a great actor. That doesn't mean I like all the movie's he's in.

After all that, yes the movie is unacceptable, and a scene like that should never have been allowed to air. BUT, that was the screenwriter's and director's fault, not the actors.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up, Marion. For some reason I thought he was involved in production somehow. Obviously the writers/producers should take most of the blame.
I still don't like the comment he made about the scene in the article, though. That was uncool.

Yeah, I agree. I just find a lot of the time that people target the actors when controversial stuff happens in movies, because they're the ones you see doing or saying whatever it is, when really actors have very little say over the whole matter. I guess I feel a little bad for them, when it's really the writers and directors people should be mad at.
