It's hard to imagine that Blazing Saddles came out 40 years ago but in so many ways, it's amazing that it came out at all. As Mel Brooks himself has said in a recent interview with Yahoo Movies...
In so many ways, it's really no wonder why there are so many grown men out there who behave like sensitive little school girls eager to get their panties in a wad over a whole lot of nothing. Today's political correctness cultivates them into the pussys that they are.

"They can't make that movie today because everybody's so politically correct. You know, the NAACP would stop a great movie that would do such a great service to black people because of the N-word," says Brooks.

I'm so lucky that they weren't so strong then and that the people that let things happen on the screen weren't so powerful then. I was very lucky."
