Well I’ll be darned. I love the Star Trek franchise (don’t judge me). As a child I planned on marrying Sulu, exploring the universe, and boldly going where no woman has gone before.<\/p>\n

Those were the days…<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed both movies in the new Star Trek reboot. Little did I know these little stories harbored a dark secret.<\/p>\n

From Right Wing Watch:<\/p>\n

On Generations Radio<\/em> this week, Kevin Swanson discussed the parenting conundrum of censoring children\u2019s entertainment. The pastor and right-wing radio broadcaster began by criticizing Star Trek Into Darkness<\/em> for a scene in which Captain Kirk wakes up next to \u201cnot just one, but two\u201d females of the \u201cwrong\u201d species.<\/p>\n

Swanson condemned the movie for endorsing bestiality. He blamed evolution for the blockbuster\u2019s vice, as \u201cevolution has no basic problem with bestiality or cross-species mating.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Well, I’ll be darned. Here’s a pic of one of the “beasts” in question.<\/p>\n

Here’s a direct quote:<\/p>\n

\n
Swanson: Do I really want to take my kids to watch a movie that implicates the good guy in the film as mating with the wrong species- but not just one, but two.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wish someone would explain to this fellow that Start Trek is fiction. It’s made up. It’s not real. Sheesh. We’ve got a super long movie and this particular dude is focused on what turned out to be around a 15 second (give or take) clip.<\/p>\n

Good grief. Sometimes I think these people hunt for reasons to get upset.<\/p>\n
