Why did they get a black guy to play Scotty?

[Samuel T. Cogley]

They could have at least gone with Avery Brooks as Scotty, to please the DS9 fans who are never going to get a movie.

Or Al Jolson...

Am I the only one who thinks the second batch is fake?

 

[Jack Bauer]

People actually found that black face stuff funny back then?

Black-face AND sombreros!

It doesn't get any more Star Trek than that!

[goose] Jeez, I crack myself up [/goose]

Of all the videos in all of youtube, I had to randomly find the one with sombreros and the black and white minstrel show.

Sometimes I think someone, somewhere just wants me to have a good ol' laugh.

The Enterprise will be mistaken for a romulan ship, because of all the green and the bad hairpiece.

Actually, there's bad editing in the film, and we will see the Enterprise-D in a far-off shot in the background. That's why the movie is set for May 9, 2009, to see how they can get away with canon with this.

Blackface had very little to do with funny. It was more like a uniform.

What's wrong with black guys?

Nothing, as long as they have pink hair.

They're not fake. They were giving away posters all weekend at VegasCon.

Why are you using a Blackface as an avatar?
