Now adoptees aren't happy with Avengers...

[jwyblejr]

I was being sarcastic with my apology. I thought it fit the tone of the thread and I wanted to see what would happen. I guess I have a little of Loki in me and I'm not adopted or Asgardian.

But were you offended?

At this point, any press is good press for Avengers. It will be interesting to see what it's drop is after such an epic first weekend. I hope it can hold at 50% It's such a great film.

It did, 100 million projection. They say it should go 1 billion Sunday.

Being adopted, I've had people say similiar things about me either to my face or behind my back and its not real nice. Glad everyone hear finds it funny.

Honey, it's not the adoption we find funny.

Personally, I think that adopting a child takes a lot of guts, love, and determination on the part of the parents in question. It's a beautiful thing; a person is willing to open their heart and home to a child who through whatever circumstance, has no other support system.

The thing we find funny is the fact that so many people are getting offended by an offhand comment by a big, blond Labrador of a Thunder God.

If anything, be offended by the scriptwriter who thought it was funny, and the producer who decided to leave it in the final script.

No one here intended to hurt anyone else's feelings with our carrying on.
