To Kill a Mockingbird - banned

[King Herald]

There was a modern cowboy comedy movie out recently, Django Unchained, and every fourth word is N*****....

I watched it, couldn't believe it was allowed!

I believe Django Unchained actually holds the record for the amount of times '' is spoken.

There was a fantastic episode of South Park where they subvert the use of the word. Quite a clever and hilarious episode:

What about Hanzel and Grettle you could angle that in a very different light to what it is supposed to be.

I watched blazing saddles a few.months ago, it was no where near as funny as I thought I remembered it to be, its actually quiet odd, at least for the first half hour, maybe its just me.

It's not, I saw it again recently after telling the Mrs how funny it was. It wasn't. Gave up after about 10 minutes.

Still not good but Biloxi School Board pulled the novel from the 8th-grade curriculum in one school.

My 's's are misplaced.
I freely admit it was an error of my own stupid making.

Some of the comments on social media are priceless; from "generation snowflake" to claims that the "conservatives" did it to mask history, "Trump's fault", to... yes it wouldn't be complete without it: "brexit"!

Perhaps they'll ban Antony & Cleopatra due to the slave content?
