Mean Girls: Difference between revisions

* [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerization]]: [[Tina Fey]]'s [http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/mean_girls.pdf original script] was rated R, and was filled with sexual innuendo, drug humor and "wall-to-wall titties" (Fey's words) in the vein of such teen sex comedies as ''Porky's'' and ''[[American Pie]]''. Several scenes that were in the movie were raunchier in their original form -- the "made out with a hot dog" line was originally supposed to say "masturbated," (and in fact, if you read the girl's lips when she says, "Made out with a hot dog? That was one time!" she obviously says masturbated, it's just dubbed-over.) Regina and Karen's Halloween outfits (already [[Stripperiffic]] in the final film) were basically bras and panties, and the scene where Gretchen and Jason are caught making out in the bathroom originally had Gretchen about to give Jason a blowjob. There was also a subplot involving an ecstasy-popping raver kid named Barry that was dropped from the finished product.<br /><br />The script was toned down after [[Lindsay Lohan]] was cast in the lead role, due to the fact that she was then considered a [[Contractual Purity|family-friendly teen actress]] (which became [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] several years later after her scrapes with the law). Even then, the film had to be edited further to receive a PG-13, a lot of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|crap got past the radar]], and an astute observer can spot some lines that were dubbed over in order to tone the film down.
