CULTURE: Monster-in-Law Not Welcome in Kentucky

Apparently, people do care about what happened 35 years ago. And many are still hoppin' mad at Jane Fonda for her actions during the Vietnam War.

Despite its being the top grossing film in the country, an owner of two Kentucky theatres has barred Fonda's latest film, Monster-In-Law, from showing on any of his screens.

Ike Boutwell, who trained pilots during the Vietnam War, displayed pictures of Fonda clapping with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew in 1972 outside the Elizabethtown Movie Palace to show his disapproval. The marquee outside Showtime Cinemas in nearby Radcliff reads: "No Jane Fonda movie in this theater."

Incidentally, Boutwell has refused to present other Fonda works at his theaters, as well as the controversial Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 911.

Hey, freedom of speech. He doesn't have to show any movie he doesn't like for whatever reason and protest. Unlike most protestors, he's actually getting some message out. And he didn't have to bomb an abortion clinic to do it. If you don't like what he's saying, write him a letter or protest him in some other way.

I just don't understand how this is news though.

Most big movies are distributed to chain theaters, anyway. If he's an indy owner, he was probably not going to show it anyway. . .

In other words, this is like me "refusing" to drive any gold-plated cars.

Wow, some people will believe anything.

Want the truth?

The most serious accusations in the piece quoted above, that Fonda turned over slips of paper furtively given her by American POWs to the North Vietnamese and that several POWs were beaten to death as a result, are untrue. Those named in the inflammatory e-mail categorically deny the events they supposedly were part of.

"It's a figment of somebody's imagination," says Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda."

Mike McGrath, President of NAM-POWs, also stepped forward to disclaim the story:

Please excuse the generic response, but I have been swamped with so many e-mails on the subject of the Jane Fonda article (Carrigan, Driscoll, strips of paper, torture and deaths of POWs, etc.) that I have to resort to this pre-scripted rebuttal. The truth is that most of this never happened. This is a hoax story placed on the internet by unknown Fonda haters. No one knows who initiated the story. Please assist by not propagating the story. Fonda did enough bad things to assure her a correct place in the garbage dumps of history. We don't want to be party to false stories, which could be used as an excuse that her real actions didn't really happen either. I have spoken with all the parties named: Carrigan, Driscoll, et al. They all state that this particular internet story is a hoax and they wish to disassociate their names from the false story.

Well, that's something coming from someone who lives in...oh...where is that again....oh yeah, fucking NEW JERSEY! Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say Kentucky is the shining beacon of light illuminating our glorious nation, but to characterize it as a "retarded kid" drawing with feces is not only offensive to all the bright, accomplished, active and progressive people I know who live here (that's right, I'm a 'Kentuckian.' Surprised I can spell and punctuate?) but also to any developmentally impaired person or family member of such a person who may happen to see your imbecilic and juvenile comment. Oh, I know what you're thinking: it's uncool to be all 'PC' and sensitive to people's feelings if it means the loss of a few good retard jokes. I'm sure that's important to you (and I am also quite sure you probably think I am a jackass. Thanks, I consider that a compliment). Lastly, this ignorant hillbilly with the smelly, brown crayon has one more thing to thank you for: in your effort to explain to the world at large how stone stupid and backwards we are in our little state you perfectly illustrated that ignorant, small-minded people can actually come from anywhere. Even New Jersey.
