Crikey
that is a doozey of a nursery rhyme. I didn't know about that one and probably just as well
Back then, many of the classics had some form of violence in them didn't they (though this one sure takes the cake). Remember Little Red Riding Hood? It got changed for this generation; instead of the wolf eating the grandmother, the new version has it that the grandmother hides in the wardrobe.
Sheez, and they had the hide to take Humphrey off the air for a while because having no underwear was offensive, and fat cat didn't come back because, oh wait, now I forget (but it was a silly reason) and Sponge Bob Squarepants had gay connotations, and the black gollywog in Noddy got banned because it attracted raciscm and they also had a go (did they succeed?) with Noddy and Big ears appearing gay as well.
Blimey, this is nothing compared to what I just read.
