Aside from the issues with the potential Popeye cartoon playing or no many have commented on; quite frankly I found the politicization of classic slap-stick quite revolting. Isn't there enough dihimmi behavior going on in the MSM to account for the oh so maligned "Arab" portrayals in these admittedly vintage movies. I dare say that you could pick any culture and find a movie or a dozen where the "culture" is portrayed in some manor other than what todays PC movie police find acceptable... BUT because it is an Arab or more appropriately as the good doctor pointed out "muslim" portrayal that it "Deserves" special consideration, further should be condemned and cast into the seemingly never ending list of that which offends muslims. IF "Everything" that offends muslims in Western Society were subject to their antiquated beliefs and so called sense of propriety, the entirety of the western cultural experience would be subject to this sort of offensive action. Where did the idea of free speech America was founded on go awry? To a point where a harmless slap-stick comedy show from the 20's & 30's needs to be analyzed with the so called moral critique of a religion that keeps their women locked in their homes, and casts young girls as property to be bought and sold for the advancement of the families position in the community. I found the entire scene last night disturbing to say the least. Can't we just enjoy these vintage movies as they were intended; as good natured humor of the period while not allowing one or another "Political" group special privileges to demean us all.
