I have never regarded it as offensive, and I've seen it many times since the late 1970's! People are too easily offended today! Every fairy tale ever written will soon be banned because someone is offended. I do think political correctness is being carried too far! No one enjoying that ride is going to be coerced to go and round up women for an auction! And no woman that I know has ever said she is offended by it! 🙂
