Kevin Costner's $20 Horizon popcorn bucket is offensive to Native Americans

In a bold move to recoup the massive losses from his latest film, "Horizon", Kevin Costner has announced a limited edition popcorn bucket that's sure to break the internet. Inspired by the iconic Dune and Deadpool buckets, the "Big Chief Native American Pop'em" bucket is a masterpiece of marketing genius.

The film, which cost a whopping $160 million to produce, grossed a dismal $12 million in its opening weekend, leaving investors and fans alike scratching their heads. But fear not, for Costner has a plan to turn it all around.

"For just $20, fans can get their hands on this beautiful, limited edition bucket featuring a rugged, chiseled Native American face and a majestic headdress," Costner said in a statement. "It's a steal! And by 'steal', I mean it's a desperate attempt to make back some of the money we lost on Horizon."

The bucket, which comes with a complimentary side of stale popcorn, is expected to fly off the shelves and into the hearts of fans everywhere. And by "fans", I mean the 12 people who actually saw the movie.

When asked about the inspiration behind the bucket, Costner replied, "Well, I figured if it worked for Deadpool and Dune, why not me? I mean, who wouldn't want to eat popcorn out of a bucket with a majestic Native American face on it? It's like a work of art, really."

However, some individuals are expressing concern and criticism about the "Big Chief Native American Pop'em" bucket, suggesting that it perpetuates cultural appropriation and stereotypes. They argue that using a Native American face and headdress as a marketing gimmick is disrespectful and disingenuous, and that eating out of a bucket with such imagery is offensive and insensitive.

These critics believe that the bucket's design and concept may be hurtful to Native American communities and contribute to a larger pattern of cultural exploitation. As a result, some are calling for the bucket's design to be changed or for it to be removed from sale altogether, sparking a larger conversation about cultural sensitivity and respect.

This backlash could potentially backfire on Kevin Costner, not only damaging his reputation but also exacerbating the financial losses from his film's poor performance. The controversy may even lead to a wider boycott of his work, making it harder for him to recover from this career setback. By attempting to capitalize on a sensitive cultural symbol, Costner may have inadvertently dug himself into a deeper hole.

With that said, the"Big Chief Native American Pop'em" bucket is available now for the low, low price of $20. Order yours today!
