Sheesh, indeed.
nobody said they had all the answers, we're just expressing our opinions.
do I fear what effect a movie trailer or any other form of entertainment is going to have on the 'rest of the world' (whomever they may be)? no. but I am not of the mind that popular culture drives society but rather reflects it. if your concern is that 'we can do better,' then fretting over a symptom of what you believe is wrong is like throwing a bucket of water on a raging house fire.
