People who sleep around to get roles are frail and scared and most likely without talent. It's their own little horror show that only they can deal with.

There shouldn't be any of this freedom of the press, freedom of expression, but having said that, I think what's important is that people who make movies don't try to falsely lure people in to see the movie that don't want to be there. A kid should not see Evil Dead and we knew that.
