I wonder what did it in? I assume they had someone watch the source material without nostalgia-goggles. Did they take offence to the character named Arselicker? The darker skinned character that was literally sub-human, named Cool Negro? Or the main character’s catchphrase, “Dickcheese!”
Damn. You ripped the nostalgia goggles right off my face just now. As a kid I never thought twice about those names, so I continued thinking nothing of them until just now. I feel like I’m losing my religion.
Well, when you put it like that… …it sounds like a smash hit for a right-wing audience - especially in the USA.
