It's definitely something that bothers me (writing about it has helped), but I totally get your point. *g*
Writing about stuff always helps me, too. In fact, writing reviews about stuff lets me clarify my thoughts.
I do see your point, though. This film shouldn't get a free pass just because it's a silly comedy. I have a hard time taking it seriously, but I understand there would be people and communities who do take the depiction of their people as cannibals more seriously.
Long term, though, I find it much more objectionable that a film like "Alexander" downplays the homosexual content or a film like "Gladiator" pretends to be history, when it isn't on many levels.
