These days, it seems like nobody can take a joke -- laughing at ourselves is
a basic part of humanity, IMNSHO. I'm female and NOT offended by the wenches.
I'm also heavy-set and I'm NOT offended by the fat Animatronic wench chasing
the skinny Animatronic pirate. I actually enjoy the whimsy as PotC strived
(past tense... sigh) for authenticity of the "pirate experience"...
The whole PC thing has gotten out of control. Disney caved and altered lyrics
in Aladdin because of pressure from the Arab Anti-Defamation League. Disney 
s
refusing to release Song of the South for some misplaced PC notion about
Blacks being improperly depicted (Uncle Remus? A kindly, wise man with a tale
for every life's experience? I don't think so!). The attractions are being
sanitized at the parks. It seems like some people aren't happy unless they 
re
whining and raining on everyone's parade -- to the point of, "if they won't
change, I'll make life miserable for them until they do... and I don't care 
f
I alienate the rest of the world in my crusade ... because I'm right" -- 
ell,
it just doesn't wash with me. Pretty soon, everything we do for entertainment
will be grey, bland, homgenized, sanitized, sanforized, and totally devoid of
any artistic merit -- it will all be uniform, PC, and boring. Forget about
diversity and variety -- it will all have to be PC code... and no fun!

I want my ORIGINAL PotC!!!
