New Speedy Gonzalez Movie
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:31 am actually pissed me off
first of all - Speedy Gonzalez isn't really a "seller" in 2010, as far as I know
second - the "racist" Speedy as everyone calls him is THE Speedy we all know and love...people forget that Looney Tunes were NOT intended for children...these were SUPPOSED to be cartoons for ADULTS and therefore all this pissing and moaning about racial stereotyping is irrelevant.
it just infuriates me, they're going to change the core of the character just to 'apologize' for originally making him stereotypical???
I bet in a couple years, they'll do a new Pepe Le Pew where he doesn't lustily chase women because that's rape...
