New Line Cinema has removed the "printable Purple Hearts" that appeared in a sham advertisement on the Internet promoting the movie Wedding Crashers. The ad had been condemned by veterans organizations, and one Congressman, Rep. John Salazar of Colorado, introduced a bill in the House on Friday (the Stolen Valor Act) that would make it a federal crime to falsely claim to have earned a Purple Heart. In a statement, Salazar said, "If any movie-goers take the advice of the Wedding Crashers and try to use fake Purple Hearts to get girls, they may wind up picking up an FBI agent instead." Announcing the studio's decision to yank the ad from the movie's website, a spokesman for New Line said Monday, "We understand the sensitivity regarding the medals and did not intend to make light of their significance in any way."
#1) I can walk down to the local surplus store and buy a REAL purple heart any day of the week.
#2) If you're too stupid to recognize a PAPER PURPLE HEART then you're too stupid to know that you're having sex with a liar.
Guess what? He isn't going to call you in the morning.
To quote my girlfriend, "So that's where our hard earned tax money is going, to pay FBI agents to go undercover as hot chicks at weddings and bars to bust idiot guys?"
I rest my case.
