That they're not triggered by Susanna Hoffs is in itself, a trigger.

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:

I can’t post what I want because there’s ladies on the board.
So I’ll post this. NO ONE but Italians shoul eat pizza.
And ABSOLUTELY no one except asians can eat macaroni. Since I think noodles originated in China.
Isn’t it considered “chic” to eat at asian restaurants, especially sushi places?
That’s cultural appropriation!!!
These dumb clucks
Absolutely hilarious. My grandchildren, 6 and 7, cracked up when I showed this to them a couple weeks ago. One of my favorites.
From a time when SNL was funny.
Reminds me a bit of controversy, over a song by Dire Straits, in which the word “faggot” is mentioned. As I recall, radio stations nowadays were censoring the offending word, if they even played that song at all.
It’s the same mindset which has caused Disney to embargo their old movie “Song of the South”, because of alleged racial insensitivity based on today’s standards.
Ditto, the decision by a cable network, to not show the old Charlie Chan detective movies, based on the notion that they are bigoted against a Chinese-American, based on today’s liberal standards.
The forces of political correctness are strong. I would not be surprised if “Leave it to Beaver” reruns get banned, due to June Cleaver being so much of a stereotypical housewife, and thus offending the sensibilities of the liberals who push for women’s rights and all that.
I’d better download it quick before ITunes pulls it.
Thanks Morgana. In addition, his use of "honkey" is another example of white-privileged cultural appropriation. /sarc

I can’t remember hearing one cuss word
from Steve Martin.
Money for Nothing.
I would love to ask a Social Justice Warrior to tell me a joke, any joke. I don’t think they could do it, because every joke has an edge to it.
Oh, wait. Here’s one that would pass the PC test:
Q: why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get to the other side.
Hmm...on second thought that is truly a hateful joke. It mocks chickens. And it puts them in a potentially dangerous situation, crossing a road.

He’s my favorite honkey.”
