I used to like Anderson Cooper until he became Mr. Politically Correct all of a sudden.

Where are we going as a civilization when in 2010 its only taken a seemingly bright, intelligent news anchor on CNN about 40 years to catch up to the phrase "Thats So Gay" and make a big deal out of it?

Thats exactly what Anderson Cooper is doing with the new Vince Vaughn movie The Dilemma.

Vince Vaughn drops the word "gay" in the trailer and Anderson Cooper has his panties in a knot. And now of course, in case we didn't know Anderson Cooper is So GAY.

Here is the trailer if you haven't seen it:

Did you catch what has got Cooper crapping his pants? What is sad is that Vaughn's character describes the context in which he uses the word which is not in terms of the sexual orientation.

Even if it was, who cares? How many times have we heard that word used in that context in the last 40 years or so in pop culture and talking in casual conversations?

Here is my take on the trailer: A) Its a movie, you don't like the word in the movie, don't go to the movie, but gay is used all over TV, its not a harmful word even if used to refer to individuals who are gay. Hardly a word worth getting sensitive about. B) If you are offended about the trailer, have you not seen every other potentially offensive movie that has come out over the last half century? This is not the first time this word has been used on TV and there have been far worse offenders of this "Slur"

Anderson Cooper has covered so many important, intellectual stories that honestly I never thought of him as gay or anything, but now that hes brought it up, Anderson, I have lost all respect for you, you have joined those who have way too much time on their hands and take political correctness to a level that is far too much to handle or understand. Anderson Cooper, you are SOO Gay.
