This is a story by Victoria Cavaliere is about the celebrity anti-gun video spoof. The original video (Demand A Plan) has celebrities such as Jamie Foxx, Jeremy Renner, Cameron Diaz and many others, all starring and/or appearing in movies which uses guns are used as props. And so, many people are calling these celebrities hypocrites for appearing in the video after they have made money appearing in movies which are promoting gun violence.
I believe that it was a mistake for these celebrities to appear in the video, especially since they are they target of the new spoof video. I'm all for expressing your opinion, but don't be hypocritical about it. Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner appeared in the 2007 film "The Kingdom" which has very intense scenes with gun violence.

People tend to forget movies are NOT reality!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dyamand. Actors working in movies and real people taking a stand on anti-gun policies are two totally different things. Just becaue they appear in movies with gun violence doesn't mean they outright approve of gun usage. It's just a movie and they are actors, that is their job: to act. I don't think it's being hypocrytical at all.
