Mind you, we are now in an age where Dr Zeuss books get cancelled, and Fawlty Towers "The German's" episode gets banned in some countries Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 What is the apparent wrongness of Dr Zeuss? That is far too woke for me to understand why that would be banned? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Depiction of Africans in some books is not great. And they haven't been "banned". The estate of the author has withdrawn 6 of the books from sale. Their initiative, their choice. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As DoT said and is I may add, the Estate has simply withdrawn those 6 from being reprinted. It's not like they have had existing copies removed from shelves. The author drew cartoons for a magazine in the 1920's and when viewed today, some of the cartoons are pretty bad. The worst I have seen had a caption that suggested taking a Black home to burn on the fire like a log. I cannot remember the exact wording. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wheels 544 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Fizz nasties tend to have the really funny names. But there are some good ones on Sailboats too. A list I have gathered over the years. Many are local or trailer boats passing through As said above, my favorite is also Never Again 2 Wet Dreams Unsinkable 2 The Codfather Knot Stolen Midlife Crisis Liquid Asset Goin Broke Goin for Broke Just Add Water Just Add Wind This way up Aqua Holic Therapy Couples Therapy She got the House Regional Office Sails Meeting In a Meeting Important Meeting An Important Meeting Fishy Business Reel Obsession Reeltime Seaduction Future Shock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
