How about showing us "Rocky Road to Dublin" now? The Pogues do a great instrumental version of it.

By the way, have you ever seen "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs"?.

It's one of the "Banned Eleven" Looney Tunes that are considered too blatantly derogatory to black people to syndicate. Video link is below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censored_Eleven

Yeah, I actually figured that but Speedy's an easy target for people with no sense of humour- I'm sure this Mayor fits that category.

Not sure if you misunderstood me, as I wasn't knocking or "censoring" Speedy Gonzalez. FWIW, the Warner Brothers cartoons from the 1940s and 1950s are the quality standard that I compare all over animations to. And no doubt some of them have blatantly racist or ethnically insulting scenes and characters, which were viewed as acceptable back then.

My comment was that it would fit right in with the mayor's taco remark, to act like being a fan of Speedy Gonzalez would help build bridges to the modern day Latino community in East Haven.

Wow....just....wow. I live near New Haven and have read about this quote but this is the first I'm seeing the footage. At least he didn't say "I might have tacos and then watch a Speedy Gonzalez retrospective".


Don't you knock Speedy Gonzales! That dude rocks! He's won at least one more Academy Award than any of us ever will. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedy_Gonzales

The world of America was bigoted and rife with ethnic stereotypes at the time. Those views were just as wrong then as they are now, but to censor the mouse is the same as pretending that those views never existed. Disney pretends that "Song of the South" was never made, but that's a mistake as well.

I have no idea. Probably.

Was this the first take? All 4 of them should have done a few run-throughs, I've seen high school plays with better acting.

Girl: - What? (then gets punched in the face) - She screams: No! no violence!
Cop: Come on! Fuck you (dont know how to traduce "vete a tomar por culo")
Cop: get lost!
Girl: (I cant hear clearly)
Boy1: Record, record, record , record
Boy2: shut up, they'll come after me
Boy2: Ey ey! I have the video recording
Journalist: (I cant hear clearly)
Boy2: - Ey! let me see what have they done to you
Journalist: (I cant hear clearly)
Boy2: -Are you okey?
Journalist: -I dont know
Boy2: - where have they hit you?
Journalist: -They slapped me on the nape and I fell unconscious -I felt nothing
Boy2: Relax, relax, sit down.
Journalist: Why have they punched that guy??
Boy2: They are looking for all the people that was in the demonstration
Journalist: Yes, but camera? journalists?, journalists? have you ever heard of such a thing!??
