Morons have also complained and forced changes to "Noddy", Sesame 
Street's Bert and Ernie, "The Famous Five", Roald Dahl's books, etc. 
among many many others.   :-(

No doubt some imbecile has complained about "The Very Hungry 
Caterpillar" because it 'promotes overeating'.

And yet, other morons are allowed to turn things like Winnie the Pooh 
into a blood and gore horror movie with very little fuss made.

Nah. Just let the idiots in charge push the big red button and 
oblierate hiumans completely, and then Mother Nature can start again 
with an actual *intelligent* species.
