There must be something so empowering and "sexy" about getting offended for the sake of getting offended. It's only a movie, a MAKE BELIEVE story for G-D's sake! And to think when I was a kid I was made fun of for believing pro wrestling was real? SHEESH! Some of my old friends I grew up with are related to the Ramapo Indians (aka Jackson Whites) as well as part Black and to this day we'd still bust out in hysterical laughter at Blazing Saddles, or Amos n Andy for that matter. Even though at times we acted like immature punks, we still had the maturity to understand that it was OK to poke a little fun at ourselves, and we still had a strong mutual respect for each other. Something that lib/prog types, for all their pseudo-intellectualism can never understand.

"an actress portraying an Apache woman squatting and urinating while smoking a peace pipe"
Screamingly funny. Not.

Blazing Saddles sure couldn’t be made today. Neither could Animal House, especially the scene in the black night club. The 70s were the last time that people could just take a joke I guess.
To: Impala64ssa
That’s pretty much a requirement in Adam Sandler movies. How could they not know that?

Bring in some Italians to replace these casino-owning malcontents. That’s who played Indian parts back in Hollywood’s golden era

“It’s Headley!”
Hedy Lamarr wound up taking Mel Brooks to court over that one, and settled with him. Beauty, brains, but not much humor;)

Enjoying self parody is a sign of strength.
It is fashionable to have no sense of humor.
Thats why more and more comics wont work colleges.
When MOST people are looking to be offended, well, its not fun anymore.
We see that here.

If I were an investor in this project, I’d be demanding to know what chucklehead authorized hiring a Native cultural advisor for a Sandler potty fest in the first place.

a group of about a dozen American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler comedy Wednesday No big deal. Just do it like Mel Brooks - get some Jewish guys from Brooklyn and put some war-paint on them.

I love the nightclub scene in “Animal House” !
There was a film made in 2002 called “Sorority Boys”
It’s actually very funny and if you watch close you will see a few actors from “Animal House” doing short cameos.
By 2002 the force was strong with political correctness and the film did not do well...

How about this one from CARRY ON COWBOY, a British comedy.
