PC? Disney? Geez, now I have heard everything. More likely some Bob Dole
family value crap.
Well,in any case, if you want realism, Chris, that ride should have already
OUTRAGED you - Disney should also have put in real live rats, bloody
eviscerations and beheadings, the true stench of pirates, leprous diseases
for you to take home with you, and real stinking corpses too!
Come on, this is Disney we are talking about, look at Poke-a-honky, the most
disgusting misrepresentation of the English entering into native american
life, and or ANY Disney schmaltz fest.
