Re: Well we said it would happen and it has

Heard about this and I can't say I'm pleased. It might not be the most politically correct name for a dog but The Dam Busters is historically accurate and all the characters featured played some part in real life events leading up to the air raids. Where do you stop in altering names have been deemed too rude for modern audiences?

Camp Freddie? Dr Lipschitz? Even Mark Twain and Jane Austen's novels are getting a makeover so that any passing reader with a weak heart won't be shocked into paralysis by such shocking prose as was written over 100 years ago.

In my opinion the world has become over-populated with the easily offended.
