...this movie, your character associates liking the band Coldplay with being gay. Any backlash? A lot of people had a very strong reaction to the Coldplay thing. I met Fran Drescher a few weeks ago, and I was a little nervous to see her 'cause in another scene I kind of insulted her voice. But she thought it was hilarious, as did her parents.

Many of the images were designed to serve a purpose: to moralize, to glorify the empire or even to sell soap. Some propagandize for or against slavery.
