  4. ” would be unavailable for viewing today” (archives/008474.html)
    Got it, missed the fact that “Frankly…” was a category. Seemed to be just a bit of historical film to me. I’ve been reading Ezra Levant
    http://ezralevant.com/…seems what’s not acceptable today is getting sillier and sillier. Next Bugs Bunny will contact Alberta’s HRC to sue Warner Bros for having him drawn in black face. Fictional characters feel injured too!

  5. I’m a tad confused at the justification for banning this one.
    The caricature that BB goes into mimics Al Jolson a famous 20s Jewish ragtime singer who appeared in traditional minstrel show “black face” in his acts…how, by the furthest stretch of politically correct logic, is this historically correct portrayal of classic American vaudeville detrimental to black people???
    …particularly when popular culture black artists are using the N-word as a colloqilism for “brother”???
    Is it just that the cartoon has a “pink” pig and a retarded Caucasoid (Elmer Fudd) in it sybolizing white “culture” that makes the Jolson reference racist??
    I guess I’ll never be a good HRC snitch because I just don’t get the esoteric nuances of this race politics thing.

  6. WL,
    Consider how objectionable Porky Pig is to our Muslim whiners.
    Consider that Elmer Fudd is a stutterer (not mentally retarded). How does that make those with speech impediments feel?
    And consider how Bugs himself pretending to be a Negro to get some response from that community. Pretending to be a Negro is Barrack Hussein Obama’s gig. How dare that rabbit!
    There is a lot to answer for in that little clip, not the least of which is the idea that Americans should be supporting a war.
    Yes, everything is exactly upside down in our world today thanks to the politically correct Left and the cowardly right that goes along with it.
    Thanks to Kate for frankly not giving a damn. It’s a start. We do need to take back our culture.

  7. That’s worth it just for Elmer Fudd’s short cameo at 1:14. You can tell he’d been rehearsing hard, eager to have his chance to contribute.

  8. This is almost like watching Bart Simpson shill for Treasury Bonds!
    As for gal at her computer‘s comment:

    I think Jessica Rabbit said it best, “I’m not bad. I’m just drawn that way.”

  9. This cartoon was one of the ways of enlisting people to a common cause. Other ways in our communities were; collecting aluminum pots and pans to build spitfires, toothpaste tubes for bullets, etc.. None were significantly helpful to the war effort but made the people feel they were serving the cause. Makes one think governments were run by LEADERS back then.
    Today, Global Warming Hysteria replaces the Actual threats to our society and punishing tax increases are promoted to satisfy the whims of Anti-Societal Dysfunctional Dreamers.

  10. Gunney 99, I agree.
    As a young kid we were asked to donate our coat hangers to the Korean War effort. We all thought they were going to be wrought into bombs to drop on the ChiComs. Instead they were cut up and formed into shrapnel for grenades.
    In any event, our family donated what we could and I can only hope that one of our coat hangers
    killed an enemy combatant.

  11. Summer of ’44 (not the movie) I did war work and actually assembled some part of the grenade. Never did figure it out, but I sure hoped it worked. We were an eager group and thrilled to do our part.
    And with our meager pay we bought war stamps and bonds. When you saw a serviceman on the street, he knew you were supporting him to the fullest.
