A Times Square movie theater laid an egg at a showing of "Chicken Little" last night.
Adults and kids expecting to watch Disney's G-rated animated flick at the AMC Empire 25 theater on 42nd St. were instead presented with a foreign film that opened with a young man committing suicide.
"It's pandemonium," Joshua Gallo, 30, told the Daily News as he rushed out of the theater with his 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter. "The kids are crying. The mothers are screaming for the managers to stop the film."
Terrified children didn't know what to do as they watched a young boy hang himself from a tree at the 8:45 p.m. screening.
After five minutes, "Andrea," a Spanish drama opening today, was turned off and "Chicken Little" was played.
Patrons got a coupon for a free movie.
I hope the guy responsible for that little slip-up got fired and black-balled.
I can only imagine the parents trying to explain to their kids what they just saw after they walked out.
EDIT: There, you bastard. It's called a typo. YOU try and make sense while you're doing 3 school reports and eating.

Um, I can only disagree with Geo. You don't make too much sense.
Now I believe children should have the gift of living in a perfectly perfect world while they're young for as long as possible - something many are denied, especially today.
Welcome to the mofo inquisition! One slip of the fingers will get you 20 lashe... what? Oh bah. Seems Vector won't allow us to beat the users. Instead, we'll just have Boxboy follow you around and correct your typoes.

OHNOEZ EXPOSURE!!
Well, anyway this is pretty serious but I can't stop laughing at the thought of some kids like Rod and Todd Flanders going, "Daddy, is that Cranberry juice coming out of him?"
Kitty Farmer: WHY ARE THEY SHOWING OUR CHILDREN PORNOGRAPHY!!!!?!?!?!?!?!
All I can say is, that was a very very stupid mistake, and I hope it's not repeated anytime soon. With all the hastle that went on during the Star Wars openning earlier this year, I'm guessing that a few people are either losing their jobs, or some new people are being hired to prevent stuff like this happening again.
Hope the poor kids weren't disturbed by it, I know if I was 6, expecting cute innocent kiddy fun and saw a guy choke himself on a noose, I'd be screaming *shivers*.
"This, children, is what happens to people that become angsty."

Wow, at an AMC theatre too. I am an employee of AMC, so I hope anyone who hears this news won't be suing AMC or something... that would suck, I guess.
It's a better chance to keep their kids from becoming Emo!
I bet it was a prank. Half the time things like these are planned out. How ironic to play something so crazy "accidentally" to a group of young kids and parents waiting to see their family friendly movie? Yeah. Buncha jerks, I say.
Eh, kids need this kinda stuff growing up. Yknow.
Vitamins, Vegetables, Excercise, Suicide.
'Sall good.
Um, Geo? XD
Anyways, Jin's probably right. It does seem like something the XTREEM TEENS would do. }:O
