"Gordon's Alive?
That sounds like a gin-based cocktail "
Never forget watching an outtake from a TV show with Brian blessed on.
They where giving away prizes one of them was a palm pilot.
Anyway the outtake is him keep messing up his line in regards the palm pilot.
Getting frustrated he exclaimed in typical Blessed fashion

"What race are the Mings ?
Jesus Christ on a bike ..... there is no Ming race.
I want to complain about Vlad the impaler! It's offensive stereotyping."
I do not wish to appear picky, but Vlad the Impaler was a real guy in the 15th century - now considered a national hero of Romania, and the planet Ming comes from is called Mongo. |

I haven't watched Blazing Saddles, but I do know it was a ground-breaking movie - the first ever to portray a fart on the silver screen |

Essex_tom does not make this nonsense up. It's all over the news. The Swedish actor Max Von Sydow played the villain Ming of East Asian appearance. This could be deemed 'downright offensive' said the British Board of Film Censors..
On a lighter note an early porn film I watched was called Flesh Gordon... |

Vlad the Impaler is already censored in a variety of media, as they omit that he impaled people as a twisted revenge for being sodomised by Muslim ottoman soldiers as a child, in more common terms he was what's known as a 'Bacha Bazi' and was tremendously disturbed by it.
Usually won't find that on common media unless you read a more in depth historical account of him as it's scrubbed to avoid offending people. |

Errr the character is clearly based on Asian stereotypes.
And then played by a Swedish dude. And before you tell me he is an alien overload there is no point being so naive.
Granted its nowhere near the most offensive thing around but its certainly not something that would be ok'd now hence the tiniest disclaimer on before it starts which impacts absolutely noone.

Thing is it’s never the people it might offend that ask for it to be done, the twats making the decisions are the snowflakes not the numerous races/religions that might be offended.
We watch loads of old stuff on TV, Our thirteen year old is already smart enough to know that things were different twenty years ago let alone 60-70+yrs when in her words “The world was black & white”
The world is not pandering to snowflakes, the snowflakes are in charge & they are making allowances for the dumb....

OK but what harm is the disclaimer actually doing.
The only outrage I can see is from the people complaining about it.
By your own argument even your 13 year old can see there are issues with the depictions so why not just acknowledge that in a little note before the show.

Exactly. It's a blatant stereotype, and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
Why people can't handle any discussion on racism without throwing their toys out of the pram I'll never know. |

tbf I haven't even seen what this statement is or how long, I just find the need to go back into the past which was another time & place & anoint everything with disclaimers or context to fit todays perceptions frankly ridiculous & the only reason i can see that it's done is to make up for both school & parental education of the young.
My daughter is 13 & in history they are STILL doing the tolpuddle fcking martyrs, crop rotation & shit like that but she knows diddly squat about WW2, Kennedy, the cold war, indo china, the space race, Martin Luther King, the windrush generation, the whys the wherefores etc etc etc.
Educate people & there's no need for shit disclaimers..
