    We're not allowed to quote Full Metal Jacket or other movies anymore?

    What has this place become?

    To be fair it was pretty racist when Stanley Kubrick cribbed the phrase from Michael Herr. And it was pretty racist when Michael Herr cribbed a boomboom cliché from the GIs he met in Saigon when he was reporting what became 'Dispatches.'

    Which had already been cribbed by Coppola to make 'Apocalypse Now.'

    We're re-editing movies like "The French Connection" to get rid of racist insults.

    What’s Lost When Censors Tamper With Classic Films

    Tough call.

    It's not a tough call it's just sad.

    Time to install the DJ 3000 across the board ... or at least speed up implementation of AI/robots/CGI to create all books, TV shows, film forevermore.

    Sorry, but it's pretty fucking insulting to anyone from Vietnam.

    Now what?

    BOOM

    You have to assume Mom Caroline tacitly approves of this statement, if she didn't help write it. If not, she'll quickly have opportunities to clarify.

    I think this is pretty much the official "fuckoff" from the Kennedy family at large to the Qanon perverts and by extension MAGGATS trying to hijack their legacy.

    "JFK would have loved Trump" is pretty much a standard talking point among the right wing screech machine. It's bullshit of course but Bobby Jr's idiocy lends it a scent of possibility.
