I actually like that movie. So Spiderman is now 'homophobic' for quipping “That’s a cute outfit, did your husband get it for you?”  Big deal, but that's the British TV network for you these days. |

I watched the movie ( again ) 'To Kill A Mockingbird' a few weeks ago, fantastic movie adaption of Harper Lee's famous book, Gregory Peck at his finest, very engaging drama.  ![]() 'The Failed Campaign To Kill To Kill a Mockingbird Recent moves to censor the book have come from Virginia, Mississippi, and California. In recent years, To Kill a Mockingbird has been challenged or removed in such places as Accomack County, Virginia, in 2016 (briefly); Biloxi, Mississippi, in 2017; and Burbank, California, in 2020. A Biloxi school board member said the book's language made some people "uncomfortable." Others accuse the book of having a white savior complex and shallow black characters. Despite decades of censorship attempts in the public sector, the private sector has met consumer demand for the book. More than 40 million copies have been sold worldwide.' reason.com/2022/08/18/to-kill-a-mockingbird/#:~:text=In%20recent%20years%2C%20To%20Kill,Burbank%2C%20California%2C%20in%202020. |

They’re trying to destroy heroes of whatever stripe. This book was taught as part of our school curriculum for the very reason they now want it banned. Some places want Maus banned for the same reason, it makes them ‘uncomfortable’. Yeah I hope you would, that’s the point!

That's such a small and comparably harmless joke, weird |
