There was an article today in the Independent talking about how many things seem to have ‘overstepped the mark’ these days, and how that mark has been overstepped- eg: the Daily Mail, over just about anything, The WI about Little Britain (claiming their members were depoicted as homophobic, racist projectile vomiters).
I’ve read somewhere (but can’t remember where) the suggestion that, as soon as we are able to comprehend it, we should all be issued with the following disclaimer (or one similar):
Welcome to the world. There are many things that may offend you in a variety of ways. Deal with it.
I don’t know if I could go along with that, but isn’t it about time some people just took a damn pill?
On another note, the Cutest Thing Ever Ever Ever (yes, even cuter than B3TA’s kittens) appears on page 3 of today’s Independent (cute baby fox cubs), but I can’t find an online picture. Here’s the article though.
