Seriously . . . what are they thinking?! Whose brilliant idea was it to have one of the nastiest, dirtiest, raunchiest, classless, promiscuous, distasteful, disgusting creatures in Hollywood to portray one of the biggest icons for little girls?

But then again, it was a big deal for Richard Pryor to have a Saturday Morning kiddy show in the 80s.
I feel like I'm going to throw up after reading that. Amy Schumer as a kid friendly character like Barbie. SON OF A BI-*this has been cut off due to HTFFan not wanting to get reported*

If it were a case of "So my kids can watch", I'd understand the decision. Lots of actors who do adult stuff do that. However, Amy Schumer has no kids to speak of.

I'd say she'd be more fitting in a Bratz movie. :big_grin:

To clarify, just because an actor has kids doesn't necessarily mean that's really why they're doing a kid's movie.
