A trailer for the upcoming Vince Vaughn movie The Dilemma -- which upset Anderson Cooper because it included the word "gay" in a negative connotation -- is being replaced.

In a statement Friday, a Universal Pictures rep first told The Hollywood Reporter: "The teaser trailer for 'The Dilemma' was not intended to cause anyone discomfort. In light of growing claims that the introduction to the trailer is insensitive, it is being replaced. A full trailer, which has been in the works for some time, will post online later today."

The original trailer featured Vaughn, 40, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, electric cars ... are gay."

Cooper, 45 (who has declined to reveal his sexual orientation), told Ellen DeGeneres this week the terms are "unacceptable cause those words are hurting kids."

    It is no ones business to judge any ones business. Why is it so important for some ignorant person to tell Anderson what his sexual orientation shoud be. I think God will judge Anderson and any other person about how they should live. Some day we are ALL going to stand before the Lord, to be judged and we will be standing there alone. My Bible says, "Judge ye not lest ye be judged." So stop all this criticism and ask God to forgive you. He will take care of the problem.

    Cooper cut the crap. You are NOT fooling anyone. You are gay and everyone knows it fool. Plus, straight men say they are straight. They dont avoid the issue. Just come out and quit playing games. Just makes you look like a pathetic loser. What is the matter? Are you ASHAMED?
