    Well they are right. It does have a lot of racist language. If HBO bans it I would have a problem with this but I don't see an issue with just letting people know ahead of time that you're going to hear the "N-word" a lot.

    Just to add that's one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite lines is "We'll work with the n^&&ers and the (hinks but not the IRISH!"

    Dude you know how many movies has the N word from the 90s?

    They got a lot of work to do.

    Menace II Society
    Boyz N the Hood
    every movie with Tupac
    Spike Lee movies

    etc..

    If they just target this specific movie, than it's selective and political motivated

    First off, shut up @tinman because being less offensive Dilbert guy is worse for you than for us, get help.

    Second, true story I learned the N word from that movie and was watching it with my parents who pretty much convinced me then and there to never ever ever say it to the point where I am still very uncomfortable hearing anybody say it, to this day. I am grateful to them for that.

    Did they pull the movie or change the language? Not sure I see what the big deal is.

    But, but ... it's an anti-racist parody

    Written by a Jew, starring a black man and a Jew.

    Click on the article
    Pretty much says there’s an intro that compares to Gone with the Wind and says this movie is a comedy and that it’s intention is not to be racist even though there are racial jokes

    like really ? We needed that ?

    do we need a PhD intro Friday the 13th to explain that going to summer camp is safe ?
