As long as he doesn't wear a t-shirt with his name on it, you should be ok. Are you the sort to clothe your dog, c_steam? :shock:

If we are going to change things simply because SOMEONE finds it/anything offensive, how about Napolean Brandy; this would be about as stupid as re-naming things such as the Iranians and their Danish Pastries becoming "Rose Petals of Mohammed" or some such rubbish. Even the American Congress is supposed to have passed a law (or supported a resolution) re-naming French Fries as "Freedom Fries" in response to the lack of French support during the 2nd Gulf fiasco, sorry "war".

How true some of these tales are is beside the point, the whole point of freedom and free speech/expression is to have the right to offend, from there originates the entire concept of comedy, satire and ridicule. Remove these and you replace them with tyranny - simple!
