If the notion of "political correctness" and the fact that everyone likes to have a go at it didn't exist nobody would even have noticed.
I rode the Jungle Cruise two weeks ago. The attendant had a gun. Has something since happened that I'm unaware of.
So Disney can't make R-rated movies? Why not? WDW is family oriented, their animated movies are either family or child oriented so why can't they release adult-oriented movies (and under a different name for goodness sake)?
I have to disagree. I noticed the change, and then I found out why. In fact, it had never even crossed my mind that the women were being "sexually assaulted" in the old version. I can only speak for myself, but it didn't have anything to do with having a "go" at political correctness.
Also, if it is perfectly OK for Disney to make R-rated movies, then it's perfectly OK to have pirates chasing women around in PoTC.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
