Maybe because there were no black or trannie or LGBT Jews in it?

I hear that the film will be redone to inject some more required diversity by having the Three Amigos (all “transgender“ and “married” to each other) rescue Schindler from his evil inmate Joos. Oh yeah, Oprah will then take them out to a fine lunch at Sambos.

JUST FOR A SECOND THERE, I thought this was real.

Nor would it suprise me.

The remake will have Schindler be a gay black transvestite.

In the future, historical films that don't have any minority roles will get a pass if they hire minorities on the set behind the scenes. And by minorities, we mean black people. It will be enforced by having a shakedown "inclusion and equity" organization do spot checks on the sets. If they don't see any black people working, they will offer some for hire in make-work positions and charge a talent fee in addition to the salaries.

There will be a lot of money to be made.

Sane people in the movie business, assuming there sole are any, should just start a new industry association and award. Call it the “Normals”. People would actually watch it again, plus the Boxcars would get the so richly deserved dinner.

Yeah, right. The soldiers (guards?) are carrying GUNS, not walkie-talkies...

Given that WW2 murals are being taken down for a lack of diversity, that’s not parody.

Not 4 minutes ago, I said to my son I pity the writers of the Babylon Bee, they try so hard to stay ahead of the actual news...

In a somber way this isn’t funny, its where these crazy people are actually going.

“Two years from now this Babylon Bee satire will be prophetic.”

Well, clearly the definition of the word ‘satire’ is being altered. Soon they will only need to reprint actual news articles.

Hollywood have priced themselves out business. Cost too much money to watch their movies and the attempt at indoctrination is too much for me to sit through.

When I saw the title, I felt there was only a 50-50 chance this from from the Babylon Bee.
