    How can anyone connect the cuddly Seth Rogen to something so horrific as the Elliot Rodger shootings?

    When you have freedom of speech and a voice as a critic in the Washington Post – that’s how.

    Ann Hornaday – the critic from the Washington Post I was telling you about? – insinuated that the reason behind Elliot Rodger’s mass killings were because of films such as Rogan’s, especially his new one, Neighbors. She called his films “escapist fantasies” that “revolve around vigilantism and sexual wish-fulfillment.”

    She also went on to snub director, Judd Apatow, in her op-ed:

    “How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like “Neighbors” and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of “sex and fun and pleasure”? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, “It’s not fair”?

    Rogen and Apatow’s response?

    Have you SEEN the video of Elliot Rodger? I think it may take more than a few frat boy movies to make you that cray.
