BM>RD> Any signs of a remake of the Pirates and wenches in Orlando?
BM>Alas, 'tis true. The Florida Pirates have already been bowlderized. 8;-(
BM>                >>
BM>There are three turntables in the ride that provide chase scenes.
BM>Originally (or at least from 1987 through 1995), the first two had
BM>pirates chasing comely wenches, and the third had a hefty wench chasing
BM>a scrawny pirate. I had always though it reasonably amusing and
BM>unoffensive.
BM>Now the first scene has two pirates carrying off a big trunk loaded with
BM>loot. The other two scenes have comely wenches brandishing rolling pin
BM>and broom and chasing pirates. Not particularly funny, even without the
BM>inevitable comparison to what came before. The buy-a-wench scene is
BM>unchanged.
BM>One can only hope the PC Police don't ever shut up long enough to listen
BM>to one of the park's better attraction themes. If they ever find out the
BM>pirates are bragging about rape it's sure to be put on the hit list,
BM>too. I can almost imagine it: sailing through scenes of pilliage,
BM>plunder, arson, and drunken revelry to the strains of "It's a Small
BM>World"...
   What started out as an attempt to change everyone's minds has now
   turned into one of forcing your views on someone's else. So much
   for "political correctness."
