PCism is really annoying.
I work on a lot of different types of people in my tattoo shop...and I think most people agree this shit has gone too far.
You guys would have blushed if you heard what the opinions of the black ladies I tattooed this evening were on white people's over-sensitivity about racial shit.
I do find a lot of this imagery displayed here interesting...though it is upsetting to some. A local dude had the most complete Coon Chicken Inn collection in existence. It was massive, and he had done a huge amout of legwork/research on it. It was a trip to hear the stories of the place, and see all the photos, ephermia, and actual shit from the restaurants.
Forbidden shit like this has taken on a culture of it's own.

It's just like if you tell a small child not to touch the stove. Guess what he's gonna do? So, they tell us continually not to be so racist, all it is doing now is further dividing all of us. I went to Louisiana a couple years before katrina. I was amazed at the difference between the blacks there and the blacks in Los Angeles. They had seemingly gotten over it years ago.

One of my favorite movie quotes was from the Three Stooges short, "A Plumbing We Shall Go", where there is water shooting from the stove and the light fixtures, and the Black cook says, "This house sho' goan crazy!".
Amazing, what they could get away with back then.

Just the opposite of, who was it Michael Jackson? who bought up the Rights to all the Little Rascals movies to take them out of circulation.
Those who forget the Past are doomed to repeat it.
Like the good doctor said, "It's part of History", as sad as it is.

Here's another one that could be described as "non PC". I've seen this car at 2 shows and get a chuckle at what some have to say

I guess Keith never would have made it! :wink:

That's Keith Moon and Viv Stanchall (sp?) from the "Bonzo Dog Band" aint it? I read that those two would dress up all crazy, even in Drag, and go out like that just to bust peoples' chops.

Wow! Are they sold as "1940's-era War Planes" then or what? I'll have to take a look next time I'm at a hobby shop.

"I know NUZZZINK!!"

Hey, for what it's worth...I didn't intend to further anything that could be construed as 'political'....I was up past bedtime, and just making some notations.
I really don't know what happened with the rants...and I don't want to push any boundaries...as I do cherish this place, and don't want to be a pain in the ass to Everett, Jennifer or any of the mods....

That said...I concur with Splitdawg that if you make something like these things taboo, it seems to draw a response that would likely go unnoticed if you just shined-it.

The thing somehow seems less goofy than the single cab. Like you might have actually seen the truck, but the era and all that being wrong for a thing just seems silly. Now, a KUBEL? All bets are off...

If that was a Kubelwagen I would say, hey the display is ok But to drape all that Nazi shit on a 1970's Thing is just retarded.

A new version of The Three Little Pigs was turned down for some "excellence in education" award on the grounds that "the use of pigs raises cultural issues" and, as a result, the judges "had concerns for the Asian community" —i.e., Muslims. Non-Muslim Asians—Hindus and Buddhists—have no "concerns" about anthropomorphized pigs. :roll:

First they came for Piglet and I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was, I’m more of an Eeyore. So then they came for the Three Little Pigs, and Babe, and by the time I realized my country had turned into a 24/7 Looney Tunes it was too late, because there was no Porky Pig to stammer "Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!" and bring the nightmare to an end. :?

Being married to an Asian woman, I see a ton of racism going both ways. I've sat down to eat at a ton of Asian restaurants (mostly Pho places) and been handed a fork while my wife is given chop sticks. We usually just switch because...she can't even use chopsticks!!
That would be just as bad as us going to a burger joint and the kid bringing her a pair of chopsticks and me a fork. When we got "legally" married, we had to kind of run off to Idaho to do it. Her parents didn't approve, so we just went. The justice O the piece who married us asked my wife (raised Presbyterian) if it was OK to give a "Christan" wedding.

You're asking the wrong one us...fool.
