Porky Pig blooper reel from 1938 🔊⁣

⁣ Although the blooper was made a year before Gone with the Wind (1939) had the famous line, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn", it didn't air on public television until 2006 when the FCC regulations had softened enough for the word "bitch" to be said on TV.

I think that my main issue with the insult “puriteen” is the implication that being a teenager is the problem and/or that their age is worth mocking. The kids with problems with sex and violence (and calling for more censorship) aren’t springing fully formed from the ether. Someone is teaching them to be scared and uncomfortable. They’re learning from their bigoted parents, their conservative relatives, their repressed teachers. And these adults are Gen Xers and Millennials more and more. Someone is brainwashing these teenagers and they’re not doing it to themselves--at least not initially.

Everyone learns from those who came before: who’s teaching them?

MY QUESTION: So why are there so many pansies in university classrooms who need trigger warnings in order to read great texts or view great art?

Ta-dah!!!…

I love how the racist left thinks they can hijack the high-ground with feelings. They always do this in a lame attempt to elevate themselves above others who do not agree with their weakness and victimhood

Fig1:

Ola kala!! Bring your critical thinking feelings over here and debate me… on any political, social, or economic subject… I double-dogg dare you

il stupidos, telling me I am happy due to ignorance … you can kiss my narrow little bottom yo! *nods

Two of Clampett's films were obviously censored. In Baby Bottleneck (1946) a baby alligator is delivered by mistake to Mrs. Pig. She is already nursing several piglets. When the alligator tries to obtain some milk the horrified pig turns and says something, but the line was cut. Clampett told historian Jerry Beck the missing line was a popular radio phrase, "Don't touch that dial".  The other censored Clampett cartoon was Hare Ribbin' (1944). As the film ends, Bugs is playing dead to fool a dog that has been pursuing him. Believing he has killed the rabbit, the guilt-ridden dog says, "I wish I were dead". In the first verison, Bugs stops playing dead and says, "Do you mean it?" then pulls out a gun and kills the dog. As Bugs dances away, the dog gets up and delivers the final line : "This shouldn't even happen to a dog." Apparently somebody, possibly a studio administrator rather than a censor, felt Bugs could not be shown killing another animal, so a new ending was substituted. It shows the hare giving the gun to the dog, who then shoot himself. Both versions of the film exist and have been shown to the public in theaters and on television.

"Censors are dead people

set up to judge between life and death.

For no live, sunny man would be a censor,

he'd just laugh.

But censors, being dead men,

have a stern eye on life.

That thing's alive! It's dangerous.

Make away with it!

And when the execution is performed

you hear the stertorous, self-righteous

heavy breathing of the

dead men,

the censors, breathing with relief."

- D.H. Lawrence

you're allowed to say "sex" on the internet. See? I just did it. Sex. Sex sex sex. You don't have to say s*x or smex or Adult Fun Times or s3x or "spice" any other variation of self-censorship on tumblr dot com you can just spell out the word SEX i am going to scream until the heat death of the universe

[the-dirt-eater]

you gotta be able to say "die"

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
