If this were a 12 year old boy, critics would be praising the artistic merit and NAMBLA would be kicking in some distribution money.

that's fucked up.....at least they should wait until she has a decent bust size

What would really bother me as a parent is all of the pedophiles masturbating to the scene on DVD.

Seriously, I have a 12 year old daughter, and I know for a fact that no mater how mature she tries to act, there is no way she would be able to act in a rape scene without it having some lasting effect.

Who has seen Bastard out of Carolina, that was a powerful scene

Yawn. The controversy is no different than Dogma's. Or for that matter - Harry Potter's - with all of it's satanic witchcraft.

It's a three minute scene. It may be a little cringe-inducing. But by no means graphic or exploitative. Once the movie is released wide, people will see it and shut up.

...though I thought the close-up penetration cuts were a bit much.
