Isn't Humpty Dumpty banned in some places because it might cause mental trauma?

I * hate this country sometimes.

Oh, that also reminds me. My local cinema has stopped playing the Chris Moyles Show adverts and is instead playing adverts for Radio 4 Comedy at 6.30pm every night. One of the few adverts that has actually worked on me, as I've started to tune in when I remember. It's quite good actually.

Although I do have to disagree slightly with the very good Stewart Lee, and say that this country is run by the bloody minorities, whoever they may be. Yes, certain things they do are worth it. But there's far too many stupid laws and rules that come in because a small group think they matter. Like these idiots moaning about nursery rhymes, or apostrophes, or some of the stupid rules they have regarding smoking (the latest one that's to be implemented soon is hiding them under the counter so you can't see them on sale). We spend more time pandering to stupid little pressure groups in this country than we do tackling real issues.

They say: it's causing problems so drop it.
I say: try teaching your idiot population properly.


:lol: So many people over here get it wrong, classic example is at St James' Park station. All but one platform roundel (name sign) is spelt "St James's Park" & even the signs outside say "St James's Park"

The tube map is wrong also:

:lol:

As for the nursery rhyme thing above it just beggars belief doesn't it? Absolute sh*te

I think the comic Stewart Lee puts it best:

Just because I don't agree with political correctness (to the extent it can be used these days) doesn't mean I'm going to go around calling all black people 'niggers'. Common sense dictates that, not political correctness.

Exactly.

Some are called 'Wogs'.
