After yesterday story about the delay on the release date of J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel movie, here is more info on the move of the movie from December 2008 to May 2009 from Variety's Blog (thanks to TrekMovie.com for the links and quotes)
The Hollywood Reporter reports that Paramount Pictures reshuffling was due to a rethink after the strike and regarding the Star Trek movie, it was not related to any problems with the movie's script.John Lesher is starting to make his imprint felt at Paramount. (And make no mistake, he's still overseeing Vantage too.) Paramount is changing a number of release dates on their 2008 and 2009 skeds, moving J.J. Abrams' Star Trek from Christmas, 2008 to May 8, 2009. David Fincher's Brad Pitt-starrer The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will move from November 26 to December 19, 2008.
DreamWorks Pictures' comedy Tropic Thunder, originally scheduled for July 11, will now be released on August 15 by DreamWorks-Paramount. And Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, originally announced as a DreamWorks-Paramount release, will now be distributed by Paramount Vantage. Which makes perfect sense; who better to handle it as an Oscar contender?
Dramatically underscoring the need for movie-side execs to review slates following the long writers strike, Paramount on Wednesday bounced six films to new dates and moved two unslotted films to next year's calendar.
Other distributors were scrambling to complete similar reviews of their upcoming productions to determine what can or can't be delivered on scheduled dates. In some cases, films will move because of talent issues, but many film projects have been frozen in time when script rewrites weren't completed before the 100-day scribe walkout.
"Star Trek" arguably was the biggest film moved, with the intended Christmas Day release now set for the first prime date in the following summer boxoffice season: May 8, 2009. But "Trek" appears something of an exception in the mix of itinerant pics, with its shift unrelated to script or cast considerations.
" ‘Star Trek' is moving to summer because its has so much boxoffice potential," Par spokesman Michael Vollman said. "It does not need any script tweaks. They're two-thirds of the way through shooting, and we would have delivered a great movie at Christmas."

Quote from Cymro:
Well, I think there's something more insulting than the mere homo-eroticism of liking an overweight 76-year-old's gentitals on your face.
What's implied by the use of irrelevant homo-eroticism as insult?
You add advanced age to the equation. The visual mockery posted in this thread is of a person who's chubby and balding. All of these attributes have been western culture's choice of social pariahs. Old. Fat. Gay. Trekkie. In some near time and place, the photo might also be of a non-Caucasian. None of these characteristics are intrinsically "bad", they're posed as disgrace by the local moral majority.
Unless these wide demographic attributes have empirical relevance to individual cries of "He's a liar!", their scorn here is no different than any other arbitrary bigotry.
The "something more insulting" that you mention is what, exactly?

Leonard Nimoy: "A book of pictures of beautiful women who just don't happen to be living in the same kinds of bodies as fashion models."
