I was flicking through Sky today and watched a bit of the Goonies, the info says it has "outdated attitudes, languages and cultural depictions which may cause offence today."
Really? The Goonies? Which parts are they on about?

Which parts are they on about? I think this is pretty offensive... Well, it’s very hard to watch more than about 5 seconds before a feeling of nausea becomes overwhelming. |

Played SHort Round in Temple of Doom.' No time for Love Dr Jones'. Chunk did have a weight problem. Was a similar warning before Fr Ted the other night . Perhaps Fr Todd Unxious in his underpants was too of it's time |

The oriental kid is gadget driven
The Fratellis stereotypically see Italian Americans as gangsters
Chunk is ridiculed and teased for being fat
Actually fuck knows. Somebody somewhere will be offended
In the USA there was a criticism of the Teletubbies because Tinky Winky was the tallest, assumed male and carrying a handbag this being seen as promoting homosexuality - I kid you not!

Unless everyone is exactly the same it’s racist as fuck It's a well known fact that we are all equal in every single way, across genders, sexuality, race and socio-economic background! Anyone who disagrees is clearly a racist, sexist, homophobic/transphobic, poor hating reactionary proto-fascist. Fact.....! (Or some would have you believe this!) |

I saw this last week and can’t for the life of me think of anything remotely controversial or offensive about the Goonies.

Whoa hang on a minute there Captain. You need to be more specific with this Star Wars reference. Originals are masterpieces. Prequels awful. Latest ones are fun and games. |

From what I remember of the movie and ITV the funniest bit of the lad telling the cleaner about drugs in the cupboards and torture chamber in the basement were omitted completely. They might have we'll replaced the rest with adverts. |
