The Kite Runner's Release Delayed

The film adaptation of the popular book The Kite Runner has been delayed. According to The Advocate, "Paramount Vantage delayed the debut for six weeks, until Dec. 14, after three of its adolescent male stars said they could be targeted for their participation in a homosexual rape scene."

Even the book's author, Khaled Hosseini, supports the delay. Plus, the young Afghan actors have also been evacuated from their homes for fear of...I don't know, murder? What's worse than rape -- excuse me, homosexual rape?
