Quantcast

Do you think a photo of a cat on a bench named Lt. Dan and the caption, His new legs, is offensive or just a joke?

    Lt. Dan was a character in the Forest Gump movies who had lost his legs. It's a goof on one particular character....who no one seemed to get too twisted about when the movie came out.

    Well, in the cat photo it was making fun of Lt. Dan and his artificial legs.

    Yes, the fictional character in Forest Gump has no legs. It's part of the story. It's pertinent to the story. Forest Gump saved his life. The quote, 'Lt. Dan, you have new legs is FROM the movie.....

    Lt. Dan is not fictional and I guess we will never agree that it is making fun of amputees. Best of luck.

    I'm a retired veterans representative. I spent my life serving those who served this country. Have a nice night....and, please...please make sure you're not basing anything else on some perceived reality that just....isn't. I really wish you luck.

    I have to admit I am wrong about Lt. Dan. He was fictional, but he represents so many brave amputees. Forrest Gump was based on Sammy Davis, his real name, who saved all those soldiers.

    Thank you. It is not certain that Davis was the individual soldier whom it was based on, but it was his award that was filmed and had Tom Hanks face superimposed for the scene.

    Quite frankly ..
    paraplegia .. loss of limbs from combat ..
    is not 'humor' material ..
    (just shows that one is a cad (and I'm being polite saying that))

    Wow, Sister Jean, I am surprised, because it is making light of wooden legs and calling the cat, Lt. Dan, seems awful to me.

    Try putting Funny Cat-Lt. Dan cat on table in the search box.

    Sister Jean
    why
  • Lucy Sister ... 2012/08/24 03:03:41
    Lucy
    Because it makes fun of a soldier who has to have artificial legs by naming the cat, Lt. Dan and showing him lying on a table so that it looks like the cat has four wooden legs. And it says, "Lt. Dan-you have new legs!"

    A real man who lost his legs giving his life for his country. I do not make light of that. Why not call the cat, Fluffy?

    Get a sense of humor. It's a character in a fictional comedy. NOT ANYONE REAL. Why don't you call yourself a cab?

    Lt. Dan was a real person in Forrest GUmp. Are you so dense that you do not know Forrest Gump was a real person and that movie was true?
  • bags th... Lucy 2012/08/26 01:03:49

    Oh, dear....no. I'm not dense at all. The movie was based on a novel written by Winston Groom. A novel means that it is fiction...not real. Google it for yourself.
