Pardon me, but isn't 'white face' a little over the top? Imagine 2 white guys with 'black face' playing the role of 'black chicks' in a movie...would there not be some sort of uproar? This movie is a little too much. Classic double standard.

"Blackface" has a history of bigotry. "Whiteface" is just turning that on its head. Yes, there are two separate standards, because there are two separate histories.

Exactly. If the situation were reversed, the NAAlCP would be screaming bloody murder. And, it's a stupid idea for a movie. Proof to me that Hollywood's creativity has gone 'round the bowl, and out the hole years ago.

A movie about two black guys who dress up as fat, toothless redneck trailer park gals would have been much better.

Or whiny Jewish girls.

Or headscarf wearing Palestinian chicks with black eyes, fat lips and suicide belts.

Or female Abu Graib prison guards with dog leashes.

Or ultra leftist ivory-tower type college girls who hang around at anti World Trade Organization protests.

Or 80 year old post-menopausal Palm Beach County voters.

I'm a white chick and I don't take offense to this at all. I used to watch the Wayan's on that television show "In Living Color" and they made fun of everyone...whites, blacks, and so on.

BTW....there was a movie made back in the early eighties about a white guy posing as a black guy in order to get a free scholarship to college. He wore black make-up on his face....the movie was horrible though.

It's a farce and funny at that..

The Clinton years and all the lefty brainwashing has caused people to lose their sense of humor. Look back at the movies of the 70's like Love at First Bite, or other comedies, totally politically incorrect and very funny.

No - it's always OK to criticize, insult, and injure Whites. Rule #1 in politically correct America.

Blacks can do whatever they want with color. Anytime something sounds racist coming from them, substitute the word "black" where they put "white". Sound racist? It's OK, though - for them to do it. NAAWP? Untied White People College Fund? Miss White America? Nope, I wouldn't approve of that either.

About the last funny thing I ever saw on Saturday Night Live was when Eddie Murray put on white make-up so he could go out and see what white people really do when there are no brothers around. In one scene, as the last African American passenger gets of a bus, streamers drop down and champagne corks pop as the all-white party gets started. Eddie is dumbfounded, but deep down in his heart he knew it all the time...

There is no way I would watch this stupid movie. I mute the commercials because these guys really make all humans appear stupid.

Men on Film, one of the funnier skits they had were these two fruits. In no way did this skit help the homo lobby.
