The new film juno

Remember when the Stanley Kubrick film - A clockwork Orange came out ? It wasn't long before there were a few Clockwork Orange type murders.

People are very open it seems to suggestion and copy cat behaviour.

But what I read today just amazed me. In Gloucester Ma, USA seventeen school girls have become pregnant.

This was no accident, it was all planned, they wanted to get pregnant. Who the father was, does not seem to be important. One of the fathers, is a homeless guy.

Apparently, its because of a new film called Juno, where the leading young lady gets pregnant, and does not go the abortion route:

No film I ever saw made me want to do anything dumb. How about you ?

 

Are these girls from Arkansas? Just wondering? ...and no I've never been inspired to do something that stupid. Oh wait...Madonna inspired me to wear a bunch of stupid rubber bracelets and wear weird ripped slutty clothes, but that was it...still pretty stupid thpugh.

 

These children (and that's what they are) don't understand what they're getting themselves into (IMO). Could this also be caused by the rash of celebrities with "baby bumps"? That's a ridiculous way of saying she got knocked-up. Say a combination of the two?

 

That was a messed up story.. I don't see the correlation to the movie "JUNO".

I have seen Juno (excellent movie I might add), the idea of having a pact to get pregnant because of it doesn't make any sense at all.

What a piss poor writer that reporter is.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I too saw Juno, and also think it's a terrific film. In the film she doesn't get pregnant on purpose, isn't a girl with a low self esteem, and has no plans of keeping and raising the child. She is very confident and aware that the child would be better off raised by someone else.

No correlation at all in my view.

 

The problem is you guys are trying to analyze the minds of female adolescents.

 

Good point. Or females of any age for that matter.

 

As the father of two daughters and one step-daughter, I can tell you that that's impossible.

 

'Tis true. You guys are definitely incapable of unravelling the enigma that is the female psyche For the record, dumb parents, make dumb kids. Raise them with self-esteem, keep them busy, and teach them that movies are just movies, and you won't have a group of girls with a combined IQ of 17.

 

Let's see.... IQ 17, that means 16 girls. The leader is the smart one with an IQ of 2.

 

Well, welcome to reality. Enjoy...

 

Wait a minute here, so are you guys trying to say teenagers in today's society REALLY ARE that stupid ?

That the obsession to emulate a character is so great, that young girls would actually get pregnant to be like one?

No way !!

I think it was more of a gender comment than an age thing.

 

It certainly doesn't help that the media portrays actresses sporting "baby-bumps" as trendy.

It's sick, actually.

These same ****ing people carry miniature rat-dogs in giant handbags.

 

I think they may be.. wouldn't be the first time a movie sparked a rash of stupidity..

I remember right after the Lost Boys came out and a city 30 miles from me had a "Vampire killing" or so the paper said.. Some morons killed a homeless guy and apparently drank his blood. Whatever the reason, pretty f'd up..

Like RO said too, baby bumps are hip in the media right now..

Saw some girls from the school being interviewed and one girl said she knew of 2 girls who "wanted to be pregnant together"..

 

That really doesn't mean anything. I remember when I was in jr. high, there were fellow students who said that they "knew, for a fact" that me and some of my friends were devil worshipers, and we got questioned about our, "cult" by the principal at school. Appearantly if you listen to death metal, you must be in a Satanic cult.

Strange thing was one of my friends who was in this "cult" went to church every week and another not only went every week but was an Acolyte at his church.

 

I knew guys who were in "church group" to get laid. All the little christians getttin' it on in the Church basement. How blasphemous is that?

 

Not blasphemous at all! You should've heard the cries of "Oh God!", "Jesus Fukk Me!", and the "Mercy, mercy!" coming from that basement.
