Long time ago, things have changed, some good changes, mostly bad changes. 

 

Here's a video of Jacko calling an Asian guy a 'pie face'.

Last month was June ?

A lot of that Aussie humor from decades ago would be banned from TV now.  Just goes to show what direction the country is heading in. 

 

Those old British comedies the same.  Eg.  Benny Hill, Love Thy Neighbor.  Sexist, racist etc. 

 

Just all PC, Woke, whatever, BS. 

 

The only place with freedom of speech and humor now is on the stand-up comedy show stage.

Even kid shows had a bit of "Agro" fun back then 😀

 

 

I wonder where Woodrow is now?

Reality is that this thread / the discussion in this thread is focused on a time period.

 

There's lots more stars have come and gone that most of us are pretty much unaware of and there's the current stars which most of us (especially living abroad) have never seen.  

 

This is life.
