Some teachers in England are changing the words of the nursery rhyme "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" to "Baa, Baa Rainbow Sheep" to avoid offending anyone. I wish I was kidding, but it's true.
So, what's going to happen to all the other "black" words, when a reference to a black sheep is somehow seen as racist...?
I guess we have to kiss our black belts goodbye, along with other OBVIOUS racist words such as black eyes, black beens, black bears, black-outs, blackberries, blackjacks, Black Forest, blackbirds, black widows, black giants and blacksmiths.
Not to mention the band Black Sabbath (how about Really Dark Sabbath?). I would like to hear Ozzy's view on this absolutely BRILLIANT suggestion!
Oh, and if you happen to know some of these PC masterminds - would you please tell them to get a life?
Rainbow belts anyone? I think I have to lie down now before I get sick.
The Diaper-Dan (TM) brigade will love it though. "Yippie, more colors, no more black! I want my rainbow belt!"
