It’s no surprise that a commitment to political correctness was one that Sandler couldn’t keep, and his failure to do so isn’t what offends me — it’s the fact that he felt it would be a good idea to try.

Come on, Adam — you have made millions of dollars and won over millions of fans with your crude brand of humor. Why on earth would you back away from it?

I can’t see inside his head (and I’m not sure that I’d want to) but this seems like yet another example of a comic feeling pressure to change what he’s doing to appease the wishes of the politically correct crowd, despite the fact that what he’s doing is so clearly working for him.
