"A self-styled heterosexual man from Akron, Ohio said today that he was "traumatized" over the weekend after attending a showing of the new Sarah Jessica Parker film, "Sex and the City."

Hendrick Colton, 34, said that he bought a ticket to the summer blockbuster "Iron Man" at his neighborhood multiplex but wandered into the theater showing "Sex and the City" instead.

"The minute the movie came on, I knew something was terribly, terribly wrong," he said."

They're still saying "you go, girl" in Akron?

You are kidding right?

I thought Ironman was the alternate title of SITC.

oh give me a friggin' break. is he for real? if his "heterosexually" was seriously threatened by a mindless piece of fluff then he wasn't "hetero" to begin with.

this is just plain ridiculous.

It is what some would call "a joke." As the article says "Andy Borowitz is a comedian and writer whose work appears in The New Yorker and The New York Times, and at his award-winning humor site, BorowitzReport.com."

Does the film open with a co*k shot or something? What was so terribly, terribly traumatising for a straight man to see?

The endless parade of ridiculous outfits was kind of terrifying, even to a straight girl.

That had to be the stupidest thing I've ever read in my life. For starters, don't they have labels above the doors with the title of the movie and if not, don't they have the number of the theater on both the door and ticket. This man wandered in idiotically. If he was paying attention and notice I don't know that the door he was walking into had Sex and The City over it or maybe that the number was different from the number on the ticket, he wouldn't have wondered in.

Again, worrell, it was clearly a joke.

Oy. It's BWW, folks. Always look for the fine print.

I'd still like to know if the movie opens with a co*k shot... or not.

I hope none of you ever read The Onion - you'd be traumatized! :)

I don't know how to break this gently, but SATC had a fair amount of straight male fans--for the simple reason that actresses were shown in various stages of undress in almost every episode.

I'm sorry, that was newsworthy WHY?

[ShbrtAlley44]

It is a joke.

CATSNYrevival: LOL LOL! No c**k shot, sorry.

CATSNYrevival: LOL LOL! No c**k shot, sorry.

Maybe not in the opening, but (SPOILER ALERT) there definitely is one in the film!

Im well aware it was a joke, but thank you for stating the obvious.

What I want to know is what asshole thought it was funny.

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 6/5/08 at 1:58pm

I posted it because it didn't sound like it was obvious to you. You said "This is newsworthy why?" which implied that you thought it was actual news. It's not. It's like The Onion.

[CJR]

Even as a joke it was flipping stupid.

Sorry that I didn't put quotes around newsworthy. I would figured people around here would have thought me for more intelligent than to actually think that was real, legit news

Sometimes the most intelligent people can misconstrue something. It wasn't an insult.
