I don't see how that's relevant to my comment.

Eh, I guess it's different at least.

well, if you read my original post i was merely making a comparison as to what cultural relevance would a movie like Paul Blart or Shopaholic have as compared to maybe something in Madea that can be relatable, even if it maybe on an exaggerated level. hell- i am not saying every movie has to have any cultural relevance, i can't relate to a fat mall security guard and have no interest in seeing it, but i was merely pointing out that most movie choices most of the time is one sided (geared to a specific color unfortunately).
