Come on.
I wasn't among those complaining, I think it's perfectly fine to change old works (although I'd prefer to see a log of changes).

I loved the Muppet show and might even pay to watch it again. But Dinsey's disclaimer seems pretty insincere and hypocritical. (Yes, it's a big company, of course they don't care about anything but profits.) If they cared they could donate to some anti racist organization if the show is racist, or some anti sexism org if it was sexist, and so on. Just adding a disclaimer is better than nothing, but still pretty weak.
