The Dilemma Gets A Gay-Free Replacement Trailer

Universal Pictures was pressured into pulling its months old

trailer for The Dilemma from theaters by special interest groups, Ellen Degeneres

, and of all people Anderson Cooper. At issue was the word “gay” which Vince Vaughn used in the opening moments of the original trailer this way: “electric cars… are gay".

So Universal, understandably more interested in simply marketing their otherwise fairly banal comedy than fighting trumped up controversy, simply pulled it. And since they still want to advertise the film, they’ve replaced that trailer with a new one which doesn’t use the word gay at all. Instead there’s this long, car ride scene which isn’t particularly funny. Here’s the new trailer for The Dilemma, now with 100% fewer jokes about electric cars.



For comparison, here’s the first trailer in which Vince Vaughn accidentally offends Anderson Cooper.
