The moment the peaceful riots started I bought a DVD copy on Amazon.

The original Bad News Bears had some pretty racy stuff in it.

I think it's only a matter of time before American Graffiti gets memory-holed.

"Overboard" already has been to a degree. When it is shown on TV, the whole scene where Goldy Hawn is wearing a one-piece bathing whith her arse hanging out has been expunged.

Perhaps she undertook to have it edited? Who can say...but no Goldie butt on TV any more.

Yes,

However, today you are only allowed to make fun of certain groups. Here are some groups you can make fun of:

Catholic priests, Christianity et al, white influential historical figures, including of course the Founding Fathers, capitalism, men, heterosexuals, ideas pertaining to a patriarchal society, anti-abortionists, Russians, Nazi’s, US history or the idea of American exceptionalism, European history.

https://www.google.com/search?q=stand+up+comedy+catholic+priests&oq=stand+up+comedy+catholic+priests&aqs=chrome..69i57.7158j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 (I think pretty much every American stand up comedian has Catholic priest jokes)

YOU MAY NOT, make jokes or even present any argument that is derogatory even if empirically based, even if historically just a matter of fact as as part of comedy: i.e. correlation between homosexuality and HIV/AIDS, IQ differences between the races and sexes (empirical evidence/science not allowed)... Mentioning that Mohammed was a slave trader, pedophile, illiterate, copied everything he said from the Jews and Christians, is not allowed (Just a historical fact). If it pertains to non-whites, non-Christians, Global Warming, feminism, homosexuals, abortion and is derogatory in nature, you are on thin ice regardless of the merit of the science, may it be a historical fact, or comedy.

Now, go celebrate your 4th in the land of the “free and the brave.”

That has been going on for decades.

A very good black friend, who loves Blazing Saddles, has been told that he was/is not black enough for decades

So, nowe, he doesn’t admit that he is a conservative black American, who loves Blazing Saddles.

If you took out everything the snowflakes found offensive in Blazing Saddles the only thing left would be the campfire scene.

One snowflake might be annoying but a few thousand tons of them moving rapidly in the same direction is a deadly avalanche.

Like I said, I think that explains why Mel Brooks wore the BLM shirt. It’s strictly business.

“That movie makes white people look stupid, not blacks.”

Much like Gone With The Wind, where the blacks are generally of high moral character, and the whites are flawed and weak — except Melanie, of course. She’s perfect.

And the blacks want to ban it. I guess they already have.

God bless Mel Brooks......he was an equal opportunity offender (except not many were offended) but made it so funny that you want to see it over and over. Thank goodness we have 2 copies of Blazing Saddles and High Anxiety. This is pure insanity to take these movies off the market....grrr
