Director Ron Howards upcoming comedy The Dilemma came under fire after a trailer was released featuring the film's star Vince Vaughns character referring to electric cars as gay.
CNN host Anderson Cooper appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and denounced the language, the joke soon disappeared from the films trailer.
But an insider tells Pop Tarts it wasnt Anderson-on-"Ellen" that initiated the change.
The decision to change the trailer came two to three weeks prior to Anderson Coopers appearance on Ellen after learning some people were offended, as well corresponding with GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation,)" said our source.

Being offended by the word ‘gay’ is SO gay!
Watch out, using the word “gay” will get you a lecture from a self-righteous celebrity, just like those annoying PSA commercials.
That is what the libtard collectivism mentality leads to: pressure group and special interest group warfare. Its the comedians who want comedic license vs. the postmodernist neo-proletariat who want political correctness.
I suspect there would be a congressional investigation.
OK, I want to know what gay people have against electric cars.
Obama’s gay, no joke ask Reggie Love, Larry Sinclair, Cal Penn, etc.
That's a visual that'll never, ever take place...
I recall recently hearing a radio commerical (public sevice announcement) that was decrying the use of the phrase “that’s so gay”.
The announcer asked the question “Do you know what you’re saying?”
To which I verbally respond to the radio (and anyone in the car with me) “YES, I KNOW PRECISELY WHAT I AM SAYING AND I WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO LIMIT MY SPEECH.”
(OK, rant over.)
“”I think the best part of being gay is when you’re done [with sex], you could turn over and talk about football.”
You don’t have to be gay for that to happen.
That’s why I’m glad my wife loves football.
No problem calling them queer, but they are taking their own word for “queer” as a slur now. Can you really get any better than that??
I will guess that the manboy will be unemployed prior to 2012...
