Before playing the music and lighting the lights, fans who choose to binge "The Muppet Show" on Disney+ will be shown an "offensive content" warning ahead of select episodes. The classic series, which first aired in 1976, was released on the streaming service on Friday. “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together,” the disclaimer states.

This afternoon I watched Rush Limbaugh's 2009 speech at CPAC on CSpan. I am reminded of one of his trademark lines "see, I told you so".He predicted all of this 12 years ago. Glenn Beck is another that gets a lot of grief but is usually right on in his predictions.
I recall growing up there were taboo words (Carlin's seven) and the lefties were attacking our form of government Now those words are commonplace and our government has now become one of them. A kakocracy

The disclaimers on Peter Pan, Song of the South, and Dumbo run on for several minutes.

About a week ago I turned on "River of No Return", with Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe. Beside the PG rating there was this disclaimer: "Inappropriate or outdated gender roles depicted." But "Fifty Shades of Gray" was a-ok. WTH?

This shows how deeply ingrained this indoctrination on feelings is in our culture. If there ever was a need for reeducation, this is it! Outside of that, I don’t know how we can ever go back to what being American is.

Just think what a world this will be to live in when all of our generation is gone. I must have lived my life with my head stuck in some nether regions because none of this was offensive to me. I had the freedom to think.

All this foolishness just makes me long for the entertainment of my youth. A friend told me about some old "racist" bugs bunny cartoons on youtube and I downloaded them, along with a whole bunch of others I didnt even know existed. They are on a DVD now that I copy for anyone who wants them. They are great!

I saw the offensive content warning when I watched Dumbo last night. If Disney could have heard what I said about them, they'd know offensive.

Disney has been offensive for years. It's another thing built into something great by an accomplisher taken down and destroyed by people who only know how to ruin and mess up good stuff. Leftists have to be possessed by demons or something. I can't think of a group more evil than this lot. They're the minority, but they seem to be everywhere, destroying everything they put their hands to.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the current culture is the judgement of all other cultures’ standards, morals and ethics—past, present and future—by its own. It is myopic, narcissistic and dangerous.

They should put a disclaimer on our government's website.
