The Cato homages were really lame in this movie, don't you think?

When he called the Japanese computer tech "my little yellow friend" - it could've been a funny scene, had it not been coupled with the ridiculous PC cover-up by the counselor lady right afterwards. Dammit, Hollywood! There's no need to be so puritanical about jokes that might "offend" certain groups! That's why people are getting sick of you!

Also, replacing the "fight" scene of the earlier Pink Panther films with those 2 kids was just plain ridiculous.

So.... you actually watched this thing?
I am pretty sure you like SM....
You must be a real hardcore sado masochist....
What organism with the IQ of 20 and above would voluntarily watch this traumatizing, horrifying peace of sGit?

And no, I am not trolling!
I am lost on the traumatizing, OOOOHHH so *beep* not funny Steve Martin board.

make love, not war!

Yep, especially, when Peter Sellers says the exact same thing in "The Return of the Pink Panther", and Cato doesn't even flinch. I was amazed at that scene, when I watched recently - how could they get away with such blatant racism back then?

I mean, I don't care what era it is, or what is 'considered acceptable', or what is 'politically correct'.

If anyone defined me by the size of my body or the color/hue of the skin of said body, I would feel that definition is inaccurate, lacking, insulting, and depraving me of my humanity completely. Body is not what or who we are, we are something much grander.

If he had said something like "My glorious human spirit-friend that is currently living in a little, yellow-skinned body", I would have had no problem with it.
