Jim Carrey promotes release of gay movie, “I Love You Phillip Morris”
”Boy, we haven’t grown at all have we? We haven’t grown at all. We’re still children in a school yard. I mean, honestly. No offence, Dave, for God sakes! Have you ever seen a gay man?”

The film “I Love You Phillip Morris” is being released in the US in early December. It has been delayed many times and has already been released in other countries that don’t have such nervous feelings attached to gay subject matter.
