Yep. According to imdb, it was Porky's 2: The Next Day. There was also a message against the KKK.
Oh yeah, I remember the naked KKK members being paraded about. Which I found gratuitous.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm going off to lunch in a bit. I think I'll have the New York strip steak.
Mmmm... asparagus. With steak on top of it....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Because Shakespeare is wholesome!
If the dirty parts of Grease are going over kids' heads, how much more for the dirty parts of Shakespeare -- which are written in 500-year-old slang?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't know... that "What, with my tongue in your tail ?" bit from Taming of the Shrew strikes me as something that modern kids would have little difficulty figuring out.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
And some of them really are 12 ... so everything sounds dirty.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It's why I always snicker when the family-friendly theatres get all excited about putting on "Grease".
I directed Grease with my middle schoolers last year because there is a "school version" that has the naughty bits cut out (ouch!). The original book writer did the cuts, so it's a pretty good script.
I did have some parents (rightly) concerned when we announced it. I just let them borrow a script and read it. They were all fine with it.

I wonder how many Utah idiots said, "Well, then, why didn't they just film that version? The naughty bits were obviously just there to appeal to Those Sorts."
I'm sorry, I keep telling myself not to read the local news comment boards, but I'm also unable to keep myself from scratching mosquito bites.

Tommy, I suspect you and I troll through very similar websites.
I just let Tommy do it for me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
