Seth Rogen defends Patrick Swayze joke!

Seth Rogen has defended poking fun at cancer victim Patrick Swayze in his new movie.
The Green Hornet star says test audiences convinced him to keep a gag about the dead Dirty Dancing star in the finished 50/50, a comedy drama about young cancer sufferer and his best friend.
“We shot that joke over a year ago,” says Seth who produced as well as starred in the film.
“I remember saying that if people don’t like this, we’ll take it out. We are not trying to impose this joke on people and there’s was very good chance that we would not have this in the movie. But people seem to like it. It’s almost an oddly cathartic joke for people in a way.”
