Snowflakes Triggered by Steve Martin’s 40-Year-Old King Tut Song
Moonbattery ^ | Moonbattery

Good thing Steve Martin came along before it was a thought crime to have a sense of humor:

Comedian Steve Martin’s rendition of “King Tut” is triggering social justice warriors at Reed College because they see it as a form of cultural appropriation.

For moonbattery at its most Jacobinic, there is no better place to look than a college located in Portland, Oregon.

The song, originally performed on “Saturday Night Live,” actually criticizes the commercialization and trivialization of Egyptian history and presents a caricature of the Treasures of Tutankhamun traveling exhibit that toured seven United States cities from 1976 to 1979.

Subtleties like that are lost on snowflake fascists, as they frenziedly demand bans on every conceivable aspect of our culture on grounds of political incorrectness. They regard the harmless song as equivalent to blackface, which is the ultimate historical pop culture sin from the liberal point of view, and even to uttering the forbidden N-word.

Steve Martin’s generation-old infringement upon their delicate sensibilities has inspired the brownshirts of Reedies Against Racism to issue a long list of demands, including “mandatory conferences for building race sensitivity for staff and faculty” as well as a yearly “anti-oppression workshop for all students, faculty, staff, and administration.”

As noted at Downtrend,

that a bunch of thin-skinned, intolerant twits in 2017 would be bleating like stuck pigs over a song that is four decades old is a testament to the failure of our educational system which is dominated by cultural Marxist professors who have poisoned the minds of impressionable young people.

Let’s have another look at King Tut, before it goes down the Memory Hole lest ancient Egyptians be offended. This originally aired back in 1978, when Saturday Night Live was funny on a regular basis — which would never be allowed today:

Different times.

He recalled writing a skit called "Seamen on Broadway" that was rejected from the Hasty Pudding show "by some preppie so they could take some other preppie's skit." Franken started to smile again, but his tone was serious, too serious. "It's not preppies, cause I'm a preppie myself. I just don't like homosexuals. If you ask me, they're all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia." The smile became so broad it pushed his eyes shut. He couldn't stand it any longer. "Put that in, put that in," Franken laughed, leaning over the desk. "I'd love to see that in The Crimson." -- Harvard Crimson, April 16, 1976

The snowflakes don’t want to mess with Zappa. Dead 24 years now, he’d still eat them up and spit out the bones.

I know Frank probably wouldn’t have been a fan of Trump, but yes, he had no use for snowflakes, neither.

Most radio stations I now hear that song played on bleep or obscure the word faggot out on that song. But they played it for decades as is.

I wonder what the snowflakes think of this/

Are their fears ever triggered by rap songs that debase women, attack police and white people or encourage kids to get into the drug trade?

Folks have become so immune to this crap by hearing it for so long that it has become normalized.

It is time to round up and exterminate every single person under 21 years of age.

One of the funniest three and a half minutes I have ever seen.

(One thing though, what did Steve mean when he brought out the blender?)
