That's disgusting. Good on those who took a stand.

What I find odd is that when I see Sandler interviewed, he's funny, thoughtful, self-deprecating, and had moments of spontaneous wit. Yet his movies suck lime green donkey balls, as we say at Purgatory.
The BBC has picked up the story.

The Native Americans were right to protest and I hope they sue the hell out of him. Comedy is one thing, but insulting for the sheer hell of it with ZERO sensitivity is something else.
sue for what?

Emotional distress, racist depictions...they'll find something. Even if they don't win, they'll make Sandler look like an insensitive jerk...which he was.

I only ever saw one Adam Sander movie and I had to gag. I remember once asking for movie recommendations on AW, and one of the stipulations was: nothing with AS. I can just imagine the "humour". Something about the guy...
