Gael García Bernal And Diego Luna Should Get A Room… Or A Tub Of Jello

Bloggers have called out Mexican channel Televisa for censoring over 25 seconds of a broadcast of instant classic “Y Tú Mamá, También,” even after prime time kicks in. (You know it’s serious when they prompt you to write the network a strongly worded e-mail.) You guessed it–the scene deemed too hot for TV didn’t involve bare-assed hetero humping in a hotel, but the one near the end where Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna share an intimate kiss in what amounts to a utility closet. The outrage blogged about argues that “a kiss is just a kiss” and highlights the contradictory notion that two guys going at each other’s throats means instant ratings while two guys going at it tears the moral fabric of society. So we’ve devised a compromise: throw Bernal and Luna into a tub full of red, clear, and green Jello, then re-shoot the scene as a wrestling match. We wouldn’t dare suggest one full of KY Jelly, since that’s only permissible in the testosterone-soaked context of frat boy activity.
