[Poison Pill]

No black, mexican, asian, trans, lesbian, gay characters?

Far north Chicago suburbs in the 80's? Please... OK, maybe a few gays.

[dfwgator]

And then there’s Porky’s..........no way that could get made today.

[FreedomPoster]

It’s amazing what intorant wimps the oh-so-tolerant American Left has produced.

And I don’t smoke, and don’t like being around it. But the idea that I would be so offended by seeing it in a movie, that I need to be warned, is just insane. These people had best not visit Europe or East Asia. As a group, those folks smoke like chimneys.

Risky Business had that one covered.....

[BlackbirdSST]

Blazing Saddles would make their heads explode today.

I wonder what a PC version of that would look like?!

[Wolfie]

Did it occur to her that the film addresses those issues and the characters learn why those things are wrong?

[Big Red Badger]

Historical...

That was the description.

I Fart in Their general direction!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Try to imagine Blazing Saddles being made today.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Does seem to be that anyone cared about MURDER among the Kennedy Klan!

But we CAN’T have SMOKING!

OMG! I need a Safe Space...and my Binkie, LOL!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

HA! I doubt it, LOL!

[unlearner]

“Blazing Saddles would make their heads explode today. It would cause Civil War II.”

You just had to go and whip that one out didn’t you?

[Kozy]

Actually she move to London, the murder capital of the world, to perform on stage there. She has had a good stage career in London. She just didn’t chose the Hollywood life.

[Fightin Whitey]

why should I care about what she says?

Apparently she has something up her skirt.

[lefty-lie-spy]

And don’t forget “The most dangerous stunt in the world”.

[headstamp 2]

[The easiest thing in the world, is to look at old movies and TV shows, and point out things which would not be permitted today.]

Like “historical smoking” warnings for the ad for “Chappaquiddick”.

[headstamp 2]

“Historical Smoking” LOL

[dfwgator]

Like “historical smoking” warnings for the ad for “Chappaquiddick”.

LOL, if it were an episode of "Mad Men", it would get an NC-17 rating, for that alone.

[MileHi]

REALIZE THINGS HAVE GOTTEN BETTER

Seriously?

[robel]

I’m not very impressed with her indignation, because it only extends to the typical sjw views of today. I’m also not impressed with how intelligent or thoughtful she sounds. I just get the impression that they not only want to control how everyone thinks now, they also want to somehow change how people thought in the past.

[EnglishOnly]

WHO?
