Thomas the Tank Engine - Racist, Sexist Homophobic

British left-wing rag the Guardian finally becomes a parody of itself. The thing to remember with these PC loons, is that they really mean it.

You guys really need to stop the whole "think of the children" thing, it's becoming ridiculous.

Yeah except she's American, is referring to the American version of Thomas the Tank Engine on American children, and is part of The Media Consortium, a US-based journalism organization.

You know, I was going to say "you Anglo-Saxons" initially but felt it was too inflammatory. But looks like I would have been vindicated!

Well you should have, I might have agreed right off the bat.

Clearly this is satire. I mean, surely. Seriously, please let this be satire.

I have a strong feeling its taking the urine, but even if it isn't consider two things:

-It is in the comment is free section, where the Guardian tends to relegate its crazies and wash its hands of responsibility.
-The generally left-wing readers are openly mocking the article in the comments.

Basically, speaking as a dirty leftie myself: shes nothing to do with us.

I hope and think this a joke.

No way that's a serious article. Please tell me the crazy PC people aren't that crazy. "One engine has white smoke the other has black smoke- RACISM1"

I guess almost everything qualifies as 'racist, sexist, homophobic'

Well if you look too much into it, not a single cartoon is suitable for children.

Kind of like Groucho Marx would say: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedy."

Some stuff never changes.

Thomas is clearly a deviant.



Just look at that smug face.

My parents should burn for letting me watch and play with Thomas the Tank Engine toys when I was little.

Like after hearing this, I suddenly feel homophobic, homosexual, sexist, racist, and homicidal. I have boxes of those wooden toys in my basement. What should I do with them? My liberal neighbors tell me burning them would hurt the environment. WHAT DO I DO??????????!?!?!?!?!!?!?

obviously the only solution to your dilemma is suicide, which would rid the world of your bigotry...

But my liberal neighbors say execution is wrong and so is suicide.

HELP ME.

I suddenly became anti-Semitic, my aunt is lying dead somewhere.

I used to love Thomas the Tank Engine.


AND I STILL DO.

No that show was really boring. But I still watched it from time to time cause there were no other children's programming available to me.

There is the class warfare aspect.
