**Mod note**

While my initial reaction to the above was, "what the fuck?", I have- after some measure of thought- come to the following conclusion:

If they're going to make a movie satirizing a topic as potentially racially- and homophobically-charged as "Gayniggers From Outer Space" (the actual title), we should all be comfortable with laughing at it.

The only way we can truly progress towards being a truly harmonious and enlightened society as a whole, is to reach mutual levels of understanding, am I right?

While it might seem on the edge of appropriate, I think it's a fine example of things that break down walls of anxiety that surround certain topics- i.e., feeling apprehensive about certain types of humor. Just laugh, that's why they made it.

Thanks!
