“It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance...”

If it’s not “representative” of the film, why was it posed in the first place?

Not really... His back is feeling so much better now after all those massage sessions and the good news, I’m pretty sure the Lolita Express was a ‘spit free’ zone... No spitting allowed.

“Tens of thousands signed a petition demanding the removal of the film from the platform, where it is due to be streamed from September 9, describing the film as “disgusting” and “for the viewing pleasure of pedophiles”.

That must be the same “tens of thousands” who have never seen the movie and already know how despicable it is.

Let’s just call it what it is . . .perversion. As long as people support these companies financially, the smut will continue, and continue, and continue . . .as in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah.

It’s like the embarassement of the DNC logo that is alternatively interpreted to mean “Death to America.” You are responsible for your own artwork and if 1/2 the world sees it differently than you intended, well you are the one who pulled the trigger and put it out there. No one else is to blame.

It’s called testing and habituating.

We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties.

What they mean is "We are deeply sorry that our kiddie porn got exposed before it was aired. We'll hide it better next time"

Did Netflix apologize for their initial defiance when first confronted about this show?
