The ->-bleeped-<- Day of Remembrance
http://skipthemakeup.blogspot.com/2010/03/->-bleeped-<--day-of-remembrance.htmlTo all you cineastes out there, here's earth shattering news about a film breaking boundaries at the Tribeca Film Festival. That's right, the New York City festival Robert DeNiro started which is quickly becoming one of the most widely coveted and media-covered film festivals in the country. This film is being promoted as the first film at the festival featuring transgender people in transgender roles. Impressive, huh? It all sounds so empowering. And what's the name of this genre-busting film? Glad you asked, it's called "Ticked Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives."
The line at the top of the poster reads, "it takes balls to get revenge." In case you don't understand, that's a direct reference to "->-bleeped-<-s" (evidently an affectionate term all trans women use to refer to one another) having testicles and a scrotum. I'm just upset LaLuna Entertainment, makers of this statement of community pride were unable to somehow integrate the words "penis" or "cock" onto the poster but, after all, it IS going to be shown at a prestigious film festival where it will get national and international coverage.
