Your right. Just absolutely mad!

Next thing we know we will hear "Three Little Animals" is discriminating against the Number "2", small animal's feelings, on their height, and of course plants.
Perhaps we should have a new organisation, the RSPCR - the "Royal Society for the Protection and Cruelty to Religions" or RSPCB - "...Bacon."
Also, is "Oink!" now discriminatory against pigs?
Will "Rasher" become the next racist word?

WEE Wee Wee

I was just thinking of the Three Little Pigs, and the line;

"...and the three little pigs,
went wee, wee, wee
all the way home."

I presume, this would also be political incorrect for young children, because it might encourage kids (then adults) to urinate in the streets - which is of course illegal!
If it were "three little dogs", they probably would say only that was acceptable!

(I have heard the story in the US (of course) of an elderly lady who called the police on a 2 year-old child was was busting to do a wee. He dropped his pants, and did the deed on the woman's front lawn. Needless to say, she called the police then had the child and the mother up for charges both indecency, urinating in public, and killing her roses. Needless to say, the first two charges were thrown out of court. However, the mother was forced to pay damages in replacing a rose bush - on the belief that the kid's wee was too acidity. Now that's nuts!!)

Houghy, do you have anything to share with us on this point?

Talking of old bags.
Many years ago, my brother in law Franko had his 7th birthday party at home.
The old witch who lived next door rang the Police complaining about the noise and loud music at this party.
The Police actually raided this little kiddies party, in force, much to their later embarrassment.
It doesn't only happen in America.

"but its Newcastle-based publishers, Shoo-fly were turned down by the Bett Award panel."

Isn't that being offensive to flies? Shoo Fly! They have a right to fly where they want. (just not near me )

Geez, the world has gone mad.
3 Blind Mice was banned about 15 years ago as it was cruelty to the blind, Noddy 'original' books are banned from reprint due to offense against Homosexuality, and now the 3 little pigs can't even huff and a puff!!!!!!

Next will be 'Ol King Cole' as it contains cruelty to Blackbirds
