Film The Concerned Women of America Don’t Want You to Watch Dakota Fanning Pretend to Be Raped

onFrom the CWA of North Carolina press release:
Concerned Women for America (CWA) of North Carolina is calling all citizens to take action to stop the distribution of Hounddog, a film depicting child rape. Hounddog features child actress Dakota Fanning, who portrays a nine-year-old that is raped by a man in his late teens, after he tricks her into dancing naked to get Elvis Presley concert tickets.
It’s not just fake child rape that’s got CWA all knotted up—it’s state-funded fake child rape:
CWA of North Carolina created the “No More Child Porn” campaign in July after learning that the North Carolina Department of Commerce gave $387,000 in taxpayer money to producers to shoot the film in North Carolina. On the original release date of July 18, 2008, CWA of North Carolina called for an investigation by the North Carolina General Assembly to determine why the North Carolina Film Office approved the making of the film and whether law officials were consulted.
For what it’s worth, Hounddog’s screenwriter specified in the script that “there is no nudity or explicit violence in this scene. All nudity and violence is implied.” But the CWA of North Carolina seem more concerned about how how their state became the fake-child-rape capital of the world:
[The CWA of NC] requested that the Assembly “provide information from the North Carolina Department of Commerce (which oversees the North Carolina Film office) as to how three movies dealing with the subject of adults having sexual encounters with minors (Hounddog, Bastard Out of Carolina, and Lolita) were filmed in North Carolina.
Stay tuned, or don’t.

"If we don't talk about it or allow any depictions of it, it isn't happening."
Lightning flashes ELEVEN times during the scene? That's much more worthy of protest.
Dakota Fanning is the reincarnation of Bette Davis. Yes, yes she is, indeed. Dakota hit the ground running in this lifetime because she was just previously Bette. Look at her eyes -- I ain't making this stuff up!!!!
@1 I do believe you've encapsulated the CWA's entire motto.
@3, are you saying she has Bette Davis eyes?
@5
D'oh!!
:-D
I agree with CWA on state money going towards films. Seriously, why subsidize something like entertainment, especially mass market entertainment?
I also do not want to watch pretend child rape. But... CWA can get bent.
What about "The Green Mile"? How was it funded?
Seriously, how many millions of dollars are the moviemakers going to make now that CWA has given them all this free advertising?
Sadly, east coaster ftw.
