"Blazing Saddles" would never be allowed to be made today because "it is racist"... yet it's primary message is to denounce the stupidity of racism. ("... but we don't want the Irish!")

Heck, I'm surprised it hasn't been banned from video stores yet.

"The sheriff is a N*****!"
"Excuse me while I whip this out!"

Yeah, that would go over big on Ebert & Whoever.
