The Atlantic Reports SJW Students Triggered by Steve Martin's 1978 'King Tut' Song

There are some situations in the news just begging to be mocked. One such example was the report that snowflake social justice warrior students at Reed College in Oregon objected to one of my favorite Saturday Night Live skits ever performed: Steve Martin singing "King Tut" in 1978. The song even became a hit single that sold a million copies and hit the Top 40 on the radio.

Four decades ago, Egypt sent its Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibit to America. The traveling exhibit was so wildly popular with the public that it was inevitable there would be some commercialization in the form of King Tut T-shirts and other items. 

As a result, comedian Steve Martin appeared on SNL to claim that he thought it was a "national disgrace the way we have commercialized it with trinkets and toys, T-shirts and posters. And about three months ago I was up in the woods and I wrote a song. I tried to use the ancient modalities and melodies and I would like to do it for you right now. Maybe we can all learn something from this." Martin then went into one of the most hilarious skits of all times using "ancient modalities and melodies" that sounded suspiciously like jazzy rock music:

Snowflakes claim the skit is racist because it is offensive to ancient Egyptians who no longer exist. Next on the ban list: Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs.

[Old Yeller]

And yep kill and rape whitey rap music doesn’t phase them.

With “Walk Like An Egyptian” by The Bangles not too far behind, lol.

How many of these students were actually Egyptian? The cretins claiming outrage over such things seem to always turn out to be young and white - all indoctrinated from birth in left-wing nonsense by their schools, pampered at home by their helicopter moms. For some reason they seem to think they have a right to be offended on behalf of minority groups who mostly couldn't care less.

They can shove up their Obamaholes.
Take it out.
Repeat without rinsing.
Had it with these low IQ future targets.

No one can resist the tweeting of a trigger. ..

Thank goodness I grew up in the 80s.

Likely the last decade in which people didn’t live with sticks shoved up their rears.

I’ve got some triggers.

What about extra-terrestrial cultural appropriation!

We might have offended the One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater!

Sadly we lost most of the real Egyptians over 1,000 years ago. The closest you can find these days are the Coptic Christians. I don’t think they interbred with the invading (Muslim) Arabs.

And then there was the song “Alley Oop”, inspired by a comic strip about an ape man who lives in a cave. “Look at that caveman go...He sho’ is hip, ain’t he...”

Or The Clash’s “Rock the Casbah”

Watch them stroke out when you play Ram Jam’s “Black Betty.”

[Slyfox]

Seinfeld does not perform at colleges anymore because of all this kind of crap.

Thank you, NEA for dumbing down our kids so much they cannot even appreciate innocent good humor.
