A baster by any other name


The name of the upcoming Jenifer Aniston movie, in which she inseminates herself with sperm has caused outrage among some groups. The appropriately named 'The Baster' has been criticized for exposing children to asking questions about the meaning behind it.


Hundreds of children will be learning about a cooking utensil used to keep turkey moist, and questioning why this is the title to the film. As a result dozens of parents will see the need to go past this basic explanation and educate their tots on the fine art of artificial insemination.


The film draws comparison to the 2008 'Zac and Miri make a porno' film which was widely condemned by parents who had to explain what a porno was.
