That movie is the reason I roll my eyes whenever people try to say some thing is a hard and fast rule.

So Lin-Manuel is bragging about leaving a fuck and that’s not actually in?

There is no acknowledgment. The joke is that the hand is black. 

The one with with the hand transplant is the one that’s straight up racist with no way to excuse it. 

think they might come back eventually. Also everything they left yet, right? I think this is a first attempt at damage control, and we’ll probably see a more nuanced solution later on

Well no.  Not with the Hayes Code. 

I thought so too, but it’s clear that none of us actually know! That’s the whole deal with the MPAA, That no one really knows what they stand for except coming down harder on language about sex and they do on violence.

Right. But if it were re-rated (something that can happen and has happened) it would’ve been re-rated PG-13. So that still doesn’t explain why they would edit it if their rule of thumb was nothing above PG-13

Is that the rule? One fuck in a PG-13 movie? Or is that what people say is the rule and no one knows? I though the MPA(A) was arbitrary and capricious? Have they changed since that doc about them?

Yeah, but that doesn’t jibe with them editing movies that weren’t rated R, like Splash. 

PS - You can say the racism was ironic in some episodes, but the one with Jon Hamm and the Black hand isn’t even ironic, it IS straight up racist.

Maybe those 30 Rock episodes will come back with a disclaimer like the Disney cartoons that say it was “a different time.” Those disclaimers don’t really contextualize anything but it lets them off the hook, I guess. Like the average (white) Americsn possess the tools to contextualize the role of racial stereotypes…

Is the J Lo a dance?

Good thing they don’t continually get away with violating the law.

Thanks for reminding us that you suck, Katie. 

Does Smith identify as man? Was that overlooked with the pronouns change? Deliberate? Why are Jezebel writers like this?

I don’t understand why Meg McMuffin was worried about not seeing people prepare her food. Did two police unions make up another lie about food service workers adulterating the food of cops?

Lol
