There's a way to make yourself known and give this twat and his government overlords the severe tongue lashing they deserve....write into your local member or the minister concerned and let them know in no uncertain terms what you think about this nonsense. Tell them, no more of this social engineering and such or they're out of a job at the next election.

Nothing piques a pollies attention like a threat to their cosy cash cow.

Life imitating art ?

both look confused to me .

When some of your faculty has gone down the road of
questioning the gender roles of toy trains in a well liked
childrens program .. Isn't it time to maybe consider cutting out some dead wood ? and doing what your employers are shelling out for ?

Spelling police here.

The name of the character in the books is "Pooh".

In the spirit of protecting the innocent from everything, I suggest we also make sure they are not exposed to classical music, opera or ballet. The story lines behind most great opera or ballet, for example are filled with naughty stuff, blood, guts, arbitrary and capricious behaviour, stereotypes and worse. Hess, I was just watching a ballet adapted from the musoc by Rimsky-Korsakov, "Scheherazade" the story line of which goes something like this:
"The Sultan is convinced that all women are false and faithless so he vowed to put to death each of his wives after the first nuptial night. But the Sultana Scheherazade saved her life by entertaining her lord with fascinating tales, told seriatum for a thousand and one nights. The Sultan, consumed with curiosity, postponed from day to day the execution of his wife, and finally repudiated his bloody vow."
Pick any piece by Verdi and see how much humping and bumping is going on, how much murder and mayhem. So lket's also make sure the little darlings know nothing of music except rap. Oh no, wait a minute, have you heard the lyrics of any rap lately. What are we to do? Oh me, oh my.

It's "ok" still to discriminate against or even dehumanise fatties, which I think is trending worse.
Strange isn't it how PC-ness claims airs of moral high ground and enlightenment but fatties are still fair game.

No, but I found that if I ran off the end of a cliff I didn't hang in mid-air for a couple of seconds before falling...

What about Goldilocks. ?

She commits sooo many crimes and gets away with it. First she breaks into a private residence, then she sits on three different sized chairs, (smashes one, doesn't she? -vandalism) then she steals food by tasting all three bowls thereby contaminating them with DNA, swine flu and what else, then she goes upstairs and lies on a male's bed (shock horror, it isnt even a human male - she's kinky as well), then a females bed (one of those eh???) then on a little boy's bed.
It's disgusting, ban it immediately, cleanse our dear little kiddiwinkies minds from all that filth and indoctrinate them with some nice politically correct stuff about..... umm cant think what.....er...perhaps a true life story of one of our "gods of sport???"
