I go to a beach pub and regularly drink with 3-4 Englishmen, a couple of Aussies, and even a Welshman or 2. I’m sort of the town Yank in the group.
The subject of comedy came up a few days ago and, to a man, we all agreed that what was perfectly normal and mundane back in the 60s and 70s simply could not happen today. Do you seriously think that Mr Spigot (Cook and Moore) would be allowed?
Almost everyone is offended by something. It all gets very tiresome.
Lots of classic comedy movies could never be allowed to be made today.
Anything by Mel Brooks - Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World, Part 1, Spaceballs.
We allow 1% of 1% to shut down anything these snowflake wankers are offended by.
Its insulting and infuriating.
