Speech Police: ‘Blazing Saddles’ Would Never Get Made Today

It would be no loss. Most folks quit making jokes about people farting when they get past their teen years. This movie was made for juveniles, and I'd keep mine from seeing it.

Clint Eastwood: political correctness has rendered modern society humorless

Sounds pretty uptight, why don’t you let one rip, might make you feel better and you wouldn’t come off sounding like a stick in the mud.

"Most folks quit making jokes about people farting when they get past their teen years."

I would imagine that's an area of sensitivity for a submariner.

The movie isn't about farting. It's about the stupidity of those who treat people differently by skin color. The fact that the supposedly racially-sensitive liberals would block any effort at a movie that displays racism in an effort to denouce racism just further shows that they are hypocrites, liars, and racists.

The fact that you reduce the film to a fart-joke simply shows that you've either never seen it, or just don't get good satire.
