A lot of people say comedy is dead...
That political correctness has killed it/made it unacceptable.
Seems like it's fine to crack racist jokes these days as long as white people are the punch line.
I loved Blazing Saddles because no one particular race was razzed, they made fun of everyone and it was outrageous in order to prove a point.
Maybe since Mel Brooks (a Jewish) is responsible for it, it won't get attacked...

I've wanted to raise the topic of Blazing Saddles for about a week now, but I always decided against it because I don't want to bring it to attention and have it be attacked as a result.
But I think it's important to put the word out and for people to grab a hard copy of this movie.
