Hate Crime

[GCG]

 No it's not IMO but I bet you would be charged with a hate crime.

 Also do you think there's any chance they would have the same scene in a movie today?
 
  I think if they tried to make Blazing Saddles today the movie would be about 20 minutes long


What about Spicoli in Fast times at Ridgemount High when he was talking about the two champion surfers.

Would they still allow him to say... Those guys are fags

I had similar thoughts.  Yes, it would be a hate crime today.  You'd never see that in a movie now.  Many jokes that were funny in their day aren't appreciated in today's climate.BY SOME People




Remember the film Almost Famous?  The plane is going to go down with the band, ala Lynard Synard.  In a last minute, death bed confession, the manager finally bursts out the secret he's been keeping for so many years...."I'm GAY!"  Very funny at the time.  The entire theater roared.  Now when I see it, it seems awkward and out of place even though I remember how funny it was at the times.

I saw it recently and it still seemed funny to me.

Still funny to me too. What's NOT funny is that we can no longer poke fun at anyone.

Well we can with close friends although mine have mostly died or moved away. With me as you may realize there is NO filter as far as comedy concerning gays, blacks, Indians, Mormons, Mexicans, Chinese, rednecks ,hippies.yuppies, Rich, poor , bums, or whatever.
I offend everyone equally

As long as you understand that old, bald, white dudes are off limits!
