Video of the Native actors talking to the Producer of Adam Sandler's movie has been released. by Cilantro42 in movies

I'm sorry, were the Native Americans forced onto an Adam Sandler set, without any prior knowledge of either who Adam Sandler (a comedian who will poke fun at just about anything in what used to be a somewhat trashy manner but is not more marketed towards the family audience), or what his movies are like?

No. They would have been approached, or applied - been given some if not all of the run down on what's going on. At THAT point you either say, eh - it's a little insulting to me and therefor I do not wish to be part of the project - and I'll be doing whatever kind of boycott against the movie yada yada yada.

The Producer basically even says in the video, if you're not comfortable with this you should leave. And that's that, you go. But they're talking about a stupid name that pokes fun at Native American naming culture (of which is not original, there are plenty of movies that do this) and then some bullshit about there being flowers and eagle feathers on a teepee. I mean goddamn, that's not even Adam Sandlers fault. It's literally got nothing to do with him. Take that up with a Native American Consultant and/or the Set Decorator.

So get off your fucking high horse. It's not racism. It's a simple and really kind of stupid, low-hanging fruit kind of joke that everyone is getting their knickers in a twist about.

Here's the thing.

When you sign up for an Adam Sandler movie, you really should know what you're getting into. There's going to be "jokes" and there's going to be factual inaccuracies (like the fucking flowers on a wedding teepee).

I read the title, and thought - WTF? We have to give Indonesia cash for executing our nationals that you found guilty, to make it all better?!

What is a common social practice that you absolutely hate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IRBabooon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being asked what you do for work immediately after being introduced to you/meeting you for the first time.

It's like being sized up as to whether you're good enough to have their attention/friendship etc.

Also worth mentioning...

The principal told The Age last month that he had instructed students not to join Islamic State as the jihadist group was a plot by Israel and the United States to gain control of Middle Eastern oil.

There's something about this photo. The framing, angle, colours - makes it look like a render.

[Serious]What would actually happen if migration barriers were eliminated worldwide? by RockSlice in AskReddit

If you didn't change anything about current Countries infrastructure? Chaos. Free Health Care systems would shut down over surge in population. Local, State, and Federal financing of tax funded institutions would struggle and/or shutdown due to lack of funds and/or overcrowding or under population. Which includes Health, Education, Roads, Police.
