Penis cookie in front of child actors.


I generally like the heck out of this movie, but took offense at the scene where Robin William's character (Rainbow Randolph) went on at length about the cookie not being a rocket, but was supposed to represent a man's genitals. They filmed that scene with many impressionable, young children as extras in it. To me, this showed as much of a lack of common sense as the Van Halen music video, "Hot for Teacher", where a scantily dressed young woman was dancing provocatively in front of young children. To me, that kind of thing is over the line. I know that others will disagree, but I was raised in a time when such things simply were not done. I child's innocence was something to be respected and the lack thereof was something they were left to develop on their own instead of having some irresponsible adult take it away from them.

I was bothered by that too at first but the kids arent actually there when Comedic God delivered his very amusing lines.

Even if they were there for some of his lines, i guarantee you Mr. Williams managed to deliver them maturely.

MINDY: YOU KNOW YOU LOOK LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS
MORK: I DONT SEE THE RESEMBLENCE

Don't worry, all of those children were owned by the studio.
