An Outrage if I Ever Saw One

In typical Hollywood fashion something secret was leaked to the public. It appears to be generating hype for the movie which, as we saw in SOAP, doesn't mean jack shit.

The movie in question is Transformers. The issue is that pictures of Optimus Prime we’re leaked to the net and fans are outraged by what they are seeing. They have since started up a petition in hopes director Michael Bay changes the lead Transformers image. Apparently the leaked image showed Optimus as being an old fat guy in a red cardboard box.( at right ) From one concerned Transformers fan:
“It feels like they aren’t taking Optimus serious. He has saved us from the Decepticons time after time and now he is being ridiculed. Mr. Bay obviously doesn't know that Optimus has real lasers and when he does land here it will be hell on earth, or at least hell in Mr. Bay's house."

What little faith the Hollywood suits have in this movie speaks for itself by putting Bay in charge. Dare I say all the good directors passed on this one. The trailer makes me pee my pants though. Autobots, Out.

*Update* My buddy Jon passed on this hot link to Transformers pics from the movie, supposedly from the movie. I just transformed my underwear into underwear full of crap! Check it out here, the pics, not the underwear.

Unfortunatey Hollywood movies and L.A. TV productions portray males much too often in goofy, bad and immature ways.
