I'm Aryan? Hmmm. OK.
To: Burkeman1
And this relates to Tonto exactly how?
To: Redcloak
"Shake it like a Polaroid picture" South American Indians used to believe that taking your picture somehow meant stealing your soul, so I am sure that they are highly offended by that line. Also, was Polaroid(TM) paid a royalty for the use of their trademarked name in this song?
Even more outragerous than this BS, OutKast was actually sued by Rosa Parks for their song "Rosa Parks" which contained the line "Ahhhhh...hush that fuss / everybody move to the back of the bus"
To: conserv13
equally outrageous? Outkast is rich and famous.
maybe I'm out of touch, but their music doesn't sound like much to me.

If the libs can take a freedom-of-expression stand in favor of a crucifix in urine, someone ought to be speaking out for the freedom to parade cute cheerleaders in green pseudo-Indian costumes. This is not the same as bumping and grinding and flashing female breasts to a family audience.
Is it OK to have feather pillows, or is it disrespectful of feathers to sleep on them?
To: Redcloak
Geeze! Someone needs to get a clue that the constitution does not guarantee anyone the right not to have their poor wittle feelings hurt.

good thing no one on FR was offended by the cartoon of the pope on a pogo stick
To: Burkeman1
Well, I related the picture of the Lone Ranger and Tonto to the current situation- maybe clumsily, admittedly- but I was trying to point out that the Lone Ranger, a much loved TV show from the past, could not even be produced today because it would cause too much offense.
If we continue like this, eventually we will not be able to have any sort of television programs at all because it's always going to offend somebody somehow.

When Tonto and The Lone Ranger were surrounded by Indians, The Lone Ranger said "What are we going to do, Tonto"
And Tonto said, "What do you mean 'we'... LOL

I loved the way the show started...his horse rearing up and staying there for the commercial, and then coming down.
What a Great show that was...I first starting listening to it on radio, also the Cisco Kid and Pancho...
Hay cp, don't you work for the Cisco kid...???
