Wedding Crashers pisses off
American politicians

So, apparently a printable paper Purple Heart on the Wedding Crashers' website caused such a fuss that the producers had to take it down. It seems that it's a crime to sell or forge a Purple Heart, and people are very sensitive about war medals. Rep. John Salazar of Colorado has even introduced the "Stolen Valor Act," which would make it a crime to lie about being awarded war medals. He praised the producer's decision to take the fake paper medal down in an article on CNN.com. "If any movie-goers take the advice of the 'Wedding Crashers' and try to use fake Purple Hearts to get girls, they may wind up picking up an FBI agent instead."

Um, what movie were you watching, Salazar? They used the Purple Hearts to get free booze at cash bars, not to pick up chicks. That's what the balloon animals and Oprah's Book Club memberships were for. Sheesh!

(We're not even gonna get into Americans' inability to laugh at themselves.)
