Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow to Blame for Elliot Rodger Killings!?
A Washington Post writer, Ann Hornaday, kicked the hornets nest when trying to find a reason for another mass shooting. She blamed comedy.
“How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like ‘Neighbors’ and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of ‘sex and fun and pleasure?’” Hornaday asked, rhetorically. “How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, ‘It’s not fair?’”
Seth Rogen responded.
.@AnnHornaday how dare you imply that me getting girls in movies caused a lunatic to go on a rampage.

.@AnnHornaday I find your article horribly insulting and misinformed.
