The Political Correctness hierarchy: lepers trump amputees.

Not to make too big a deal out of this, but:

Aardman Animation to Change Scene Featuring Leper Boat in ‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits’

Outcry by leprosy charities at movie trailer leads to changes by Bristol-based animation powerhouse.

In the trailer the Grant-voiced Pirate Captain lands on a ship demanding gold, but is told by a crew member: “Afraid we don’t have any gold old man, this is a leper boat. See.” After issuing the explanation, the sailor’s arm drops off.

Leprosy groups expressed concern that the scene could increase the stigma and discrimination felt by people suffering from leprosy.

Aardman has said it will change the scene in the wake of the objections.

Well, that’s probably best. You don’t want to face off against those guys. They’ll break their foot off in your ass. Elbow drop, right to the groin.

Amputees, though: them we’ll still make fun of.

Here’s the trailer, by the way, with the blatant leperism still in it:

Wow, that’s just hands down insensitive. Really makes your toes curl.

Oh, fine. I’ll stop.
