HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES CALLED HYPOCRITES ON GUN CONTROL OUTREACH
Amanda Peet and other celebrities are shown in the “Demand a Plan” PSA and using firearms in films in a new response video – see below. Several big-name Hollywood stars appear in a new anti-gun public service YouTube video calling for Americans to demand that their elected officials come up with a strategy to curb gun violence.
In the video, celebs like Cameron Diaz, Paul Rudd, and Chris Rock read the names of the sites of the most horrific gun massacres, before calling on viewers to “demand a plan” to stop mass shootings. But now a new video called “Demand a Plan – Demand Celebrities Go F Themselves” has been created, that highlights the gun violence many of these same stars have taken part in in their movies and television shows.
The “Demand Celebrities” response video intersperses the original PSA with scenes of gun violence in movies starring the celebrities mentioned above, plus Jeremy Renner, Reese Witherspoon, Jamie Foxx, and others. For example, Jamie Foxx lists “Columbine” during the original PSA, after which the response video runs a montage of extreme gun violence from several of Foxxs movies. The response video closes with the message: “Hollywood is a culture of violence” along with slurs at the actors themselves. Warning, the violence is extremely graphic and may be NSFW and is not suitable for all audiences.
