Grease
Jun 16^th, 2018 at 7:15pm

Apparently it's now being called the most sexist, racist, regressive, reprehensible and downright offensive movie ever made.

I haven't read the articles yet but lets see if I have this right.

A movie made 40 years ago set in a period of time about 70 years ago is not displaying ideals and values commensurate with 2018?

Well knock me over with a papadum and call me Raj!!!

There was another thread about this and the guy who wrote it was taking the piss on the politically correct that make this claim as the pox on society they are.

I checked a few boards before I posted. Didn't think to check federal politics

The movie does promote rape. Ban it.

Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put up a fight

Nah - that's not advocating rape... that's advocating the ages-old resistance a woman should properly put up before succumbing to her inner woman...

As The Band said - you don't have to give out if you only give in... very Buddhist reasoning there...

I don't think I or the writer of the article was proposing that, Grap. The article is a pay out on PC, not a condemnation of Grease.

So laf Why don't we call for a "ban" on Churchill because he was often alarmingly drunk and a "racist" and turn the UK over to the Germans?

Nothing truer ... sadly it is becoming all invasive & it's proponents evermore influential & dangerous.
