hackey lad Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 39 minutes ago, iansheff said: Sixty years after being released and classified as a 'U' Mary Poppins has now been classified as 'PG' due to discriminatory language. From the article: Classifiers picked up on the term used by the character Admiral Boom – first as a reference to people not onscreen, then as a reference to the film’s child stars when their faces are blackened with soot. “We understand from our racism and discrimination research … that a key concern for … parents is the potential to expose children to discriminatory language or behaviour which they may find distressing or repeat without realising the potential offence,” a BBFC spokesperson told the Mail. “Content with immediate and clear condemnation is more likely to receive a lower rating.” This only affects the cinema version. I wonder what film will be next. Mary Poppins’ UK age rating raised to PG due to discriminatory language (msn.com) Worlds gone mad . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) I think it's actually rather funny to be honest that it actually upsets folk to the point that its now a PG. I mean, how do these folk make it through the day. 😂 Edited February 26 by Al Bundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockers rule Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Shame: one of my favourite parts of the film is when Dick Van Dyke (dressed as a chimney sweep) turns to Mary Poppins in the roof top scenes (as they are stepping up the stair shaped smoke staircase) and says " You can see your F***ing house from here". Should have been banned let alone re-classified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
