Line 62:
* ''[[Happy Feet]]'': All of Mumble's [[Sidekick|sidekicks]] are rather over-the-top Hispanic stereotypes, and the girls they talk to are likewise. These penguins are meant to be the positive alternative to the rather over-the-top stereotypically religious and clannish elder penguins.
* The 1942 movie ''[[Holiday Inn]]'': the musical number for February (Lincoln's birthday). [[Values Dissonance]] is one thing but this... Holy. Shit. A big blackface minstrel show about [[Abraham Lincoln]]. Naturally it gets cut when on TV (even in 1942, controversy forced Irving Berlin to alter the offending word "darky" to "negro").
** Even some of the ''characters'' think it's a dumb idea (in-story, the blackface was a last-minute addition, to disguise one character so she wouldn't be recognized by others).
* ''[[The Hottie and The Nottie]]'' isn't even subtle about its VERY dubious moral. Basically, it contends only hot chicks such as Paris Hilton are worthy of love and that any woman who isn't "hot" deserves only to spend the rest of their life alone and miserable. Are you born ugly or plain? Hard luck!
** There's the thing, though. That's not an unfortunate ''implication'', that's ''the explicit message of the film''.
