This led to the books being banned from some libraries in the 1980's, the Golliwogs were replaced with Goblins in the next reprint. Noddy spends most of his time with his great friend Big Ears, this character came under fire when the books were re printed for the US market, some said that his name should be changed to White Beard, and others that Noddy and Big Ears relationship was implidled homosexuality.

Quote:

The term "brainstorming" has become the latest target of political correctness, according to a charity. Trainee teachers are being told to avoid the word for fear of offending pupils with epilepsy. Instead they are being advised to use "word storm" or "thought shower".

Bloody beggars belief.

Agreed.

In Social Services it is offensive to call someone a yob :roll:
In Police, officers can't say junkie, it has to be reffered to as someone intoxicated :x
