You people really need to get a sense of humor.

Nothing more arrogant than the Politically Correct Police.

We have a sense of humor. You're acting like we are calling for their heads. This Chinese eye stuff is funny, if you are a freshman on the high school JV team. If you are grown up it is simply foolish, especially if you don't have the sense to wait until the cameras are off.

I never said I found it funny. I don't.
But are we suppose to cruscifix everyone for bad humor? If so then Freddie Beras Goico should have been executed 30 years ago.

A classic movie like Blazzing Saddles couldn't be made today because of the PC police. Look at all of the idiots protesting the Movie Tropic Thunder because they call somebody in the movie a Retard!

Frank and cibaeno, you are correct that this piece of Spanish detritus would never attempt such a stunt on a New York subway car. groping her breast, then kicking her in the head? no sir. immediately after the groping, he would have been on the platform, looking for his head, and perhaps his nuts. a bunch of crazy boricuas would have carved him some new orifices.

and, anthonyc, since this is all so harmless and misunderstood, why do we not see the Dominican and Cuban athletes in china making similarly tastless racist " jokes"? because, even if they thought about it , decorum importunes civilised people to behave in an appropriate manner, befitting the event. the spanish have obviously not evolved sufficiently to understand the importance of polite behavior.

Actually we get away with much worse these days. Blazing Saddles is tame compared to South Park, Family Guy, modern college humor movies, Dave Chappelle, etc. All I've heard about Tropic Thunder is positive reviews,I'll be checking it out myself. Even in our allegedly PC world we leave a place out there for tasteless humor. As dread points out the problem is the Spaniards under discussion seem to have no sense of the proper place for such things. I mean I don't know where you get this crucifixion business...no one has said they should be in jail or anything like that...but if people behave poorly in public they should be publicly mocked.

Now the guy assaulting the girl, I'm all for seeing him get his, but then he did something way beyond speaking badly or making a foolish gesture.

manhattanite, why do you bother? for someone to compare the political environment today with the era of Blazing Saddles does not merit reply. the racial and ethnic content of movies today is far more explicit than in the days when Mel Brooks made that movie. has that guy been to the movies in the last ten years?

I love going to NY. Whenever someone give me attitude there I just tell them I am from Miami. They back down quickly.

New Yorkers are all talk. Great town but the guys are wimpy.

His argument is nonsense. Family Guy would've never aired on syndicated television in the 80s, never. That's just one example.

when was the last time a "hollywood" movie a white guy used the "N" word in a comedic setting?
