HBO Max now censoring parts of classic movie posters because that's TOTALLY NORMAL

Even though we have God-given rights to free speech in the United States of America, regimes with more restrictive rules are always encroaching on our freedoms.

John Nolte of Breitbart News is reporting that HBO Max is erasing cigarettes from iconic movie posters for some reason:

Nolte: Woke Gestapo at HBO Max Erase Cigarettes from Iconic Movie Posters

By way of HBO Max, Warner Bros. Discovery is desecrating iconic art by removing cigarettes from classic movie posters.

On HBO Max’s streaming menu, classic movie posters are frequently used to identify the title available to the subscriber. Per this report, in some cases, the same streaming service that offers scenes of rape, sodomy, and torture porn is photoshopping out tobacco use.

The most egregious example is McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Robert Altman’s 1971 masterpiece. In the iconic poster, star Warren Beatty holds a lit cigarillo. Can’t have that. So the anti-art Nazis at HBO Max have apparently used photoshop to erase the cigarillo and the smoke. What remains is bizarre: Beatty awkwardly  holding up two fingers for no reason.

The fascists at HBO Max also erased the cigar Paul Newman holds in the poster for John Milius’s terrific The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. So now Newman looks like he’s about to flash the “okay” sign, which I’m told is racist.

Ugh. We didn’t need a reminder on that.

Why must we be forced to deal with so much bad TV?
