A year ago I decided that is was time to get a DVD of "Blazing Saddles", so I went to buy a copy, and after a bit of thought, instead purchased the entire Mel Brooks DVD collection.

Brooks is 94, and hopefully will live many more years, but not so many that he sees his masterpieces torn to shreds and destroyed in the name of WOKE.

I remember being in college and seeing Chuck Jones, the animator behind many of the Looney Tunes classics, give a lecture. This was at the point where politically correct censorship of cartoons was just beginning to take hold.

Jones got quite emotional about it and at one point shouted at the audience “Tell these heavy-handed idiots to stop raping my cartoons!”

I’m sure Mel Brooks could identify.
