Ok, people read what ive just been made aware of. im outraged.
I like some people here am a fan of Tom and Jerry. And im sure some would agree that they are fantastic.
Sadly i have just learned that when T&J re-runs air (at least in the uk) apparently the voice of Toms owner has been changed to Irish so make the show more politically correct.
What the balls is that all about? Thats like stoping kids from Studying "To Kill a Mocking Bird" because it shows a deformed African American getting killed and accused of a crime he didnt commit. Or banning Crazy in Alabama cause Meat kills a black school boy. And the police then beat them up at the funeral.
Y and how can i compare these.
People can argue, well thats what happened in those day. People were discriminated against.
So does that mean jolly women like the original Mammy two feet didnt own cats or werent allowed to now that her voice has been changed?
If i were from the african american comunity i would probably be offended that the voice had been changed. The reason being that the woman who played her was working. She was an actress. She was lending her voice to a cartoon. She didnt have to. She could have said no. She wasnt tricked into being the butt of a racist joke or anything. And now because of the ridiculous level of all this PC crap that womans talents are no longer there. Do you think she'd be happy about it? Doubt it!
Please dont think of me being racist. I certainly am not. I just dont like it when stupid little people abuse their power and make the country a worse place to live.
Any thoughts on my rant folks?
