Anyone else getting sick and tired of hearing about who said what and how it was insensitive, offensive, culturally taboo, politically incorrect, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I don't care if it's Donald Sterling, Justin Beeber, Dr. Dre, Al Sharpton or whoever, quit being so easily offended!

Also, watch the Bad News Bears and listen to Tanner Boyle. Great quote.

There, everyone feel better?

Everyone associated with the making of Blazing Saddles (and especially Madeline Kahn) should be tried for hate crimes for their blatant bigotry against Germans.

I'm with you. I can't believe everyone is so "sensitive". I grew up watching Archie Bunker. Talk about not being PC. Commie, Pinko, ****, Dingbat and Stifle. People need to grow a pair, and learn to relax. IMHO, the world has gone just stark raving nuts.

I agree.....this PC stuff is just out of hand.

And I will say.......I have never felt hate for others like I do now.

It's not the vocabulary. It's the intended message. It's the thoughtless slurs.

And - well, it has occurred to you that the off-hand racism in Blazing Saddles was on part of the antagonists?

Don't you think it is ironic that people are so thinned skinned about getting called out for their offensive remarks that they call everyone else thinned skinned for getting upset at them?

I hope you know I'm joking!

I started laughing at the opening scene of Blazing Saddles and didn't stop all the way to the end.
