Pop culture expert Elayne Rapping, professor emeritus of American studies, is quoted in an article on Fox News about a trailer for an upcoming movie in which one of the film's characters refers to electric cars as "gay." "This gaffe hit a point in time where this kind of thing really gets noticed and criticized and may well hurt the future of a film like this that targets a younger, more culturally open, demographic," she said.
