They have come to this realization thanks to a video posted by Disney of Jamie Lee Curtis promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/article\/freakier-friday-trailer-it-does-in-fact-look-freakier.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Freakier Friday<\/a>, and a lot of them are\u00a0being really weird about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmehfzwgy00113b78iq4mrfal@published\" data-word-count=\"70\">In the video, Curtis earnestly implores viewers to see the sequel to experience \u201cthe same level of nostalgia and joy and laughter and happiness and tears and friendships\u201d as they did the first time around. It seems like this she\u2019s really proud of this movie. However, she\u2019s dressed in one of her character\u2019s costumes, and her cleavage is on display. So that is what nearly all 23,000 comments are about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmehfzwv000133b78nixgsnmi@published\" data-word-count=\"95\">The top comments on the video (which has accumulated over 10 million views in a day) are all different reaction images. One features a character from Diary of a Wimpy Kid looking on with a furrowed brow, another shows SpongeBob looking up as a breastlike shadow looms over him, and one is a woman screaming as another woman presses her chest to a car window. When using text, the comments don\u2019t get any better. \u201cWhere did THOSE come from,\u201d one user asked. \u201cOh it\u2019s freakier alright,\u201d said another. One person just wrote, \u201cJAMIE LEE MILKERS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmehfzwyi00143b78ufywaf4m@published\" data-word-count=\"82\">Curtis does look great, but everyone acting like a cartoon dog with its tongue dragging on the floor needs to be put in time-out. This is what happens when TikTok convinces a large swath of Gen Z that women become haggard ghouls after they turn 30, and they don\u2019t realize that being a smoke show knows no age. There is no reason to be writing, as one commenter did, \u201cJust because there\u2019s wrinkles on the wrapper don\u2019t mean the candy ain\u2019t sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmehfzx2q00153b78ohv8djk4@published\" data-word-count=\"86\">There has to be a better way to be body positive toward women in their 60s. Maybe we need to bring back a respectful \u201cAwoOOoga\u201d or a \u201cVa-va-VOOM.\u201d Perhaps a simple \u201cWow!\u201d if you\u2019re shy. If you are one of the thousands of people who commented horny things about Curtis, it\u2019s time to do some reflecting. If you are one of the millions of people who saw the video and thought, Holy moly, she looks good, but kept it to yourself: Feel free to carry on.<\/p>\n<p>          Stay in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n<p>        Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n<p class=\"expanded-terms \" aria-hidden=\"true\">By submitting your email, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/terms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/privacy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Notice<\/a> and to receive email correspondence from us.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Leon Bennett\/Getty Images for Disney Over on TikTok, people\u00a0are just now discovering that you can have an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[48209,49,48,361,3332,569,75,10106,1059],"class_list":{"0":"post-79695","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-boobs","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-celebrity","13":"tag-culture","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-jamie-lee-curtis","16":"tag-tiktok"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
