Is this going to far in todays society??

[Bully]

its not just this tho i heard on the radio a few months ago about video stores moving movies like Terminator 2 (one of many movies) to a nudity or soft porn section of the store as muslims didnt like seeing arnie in the nude because of complaints. Remember at the start of T2 Arnie walks into a bar in the nud beating up bikies.

Yeah it was all the muslim's fault, sure those hard right christian lobbyists had nothing to do with putting arnie's junk somewhere else.

cant even scratch myself in public without people looking and pointing and it making headling news the following night

Straight from Wikipedia:

Origins and meaning

A connection to the slave trade. This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness and the use and reform of nursery rhymes in the 1980s, but scholars agree that it has no basis in fact.[3]

Also:

Modern controversies

Further information: Loony Left

A controversy emerged over changing the language of 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' in Britain from 1986, because, it was alleged in the popular press, it was seen as racially dubious. This was, as Curran, Pently and Gaber indicate, based only on a rewriting of the rhyme in one private nursery as an exercise for the children there and not on any local government policy.[4] A similar controversy emerged in 1999 when reservations about the rhyme were submitted to Birmingham City Council by a working group on racism in children's resources, which were never approved or implemented.[5] Two private nurseries in Oxfordshire in 2006 altered the song to "Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep", with black being replaced with a variety of other adjectives, like "happy, sad, hopping" and "pink".[6] Commentators have asserted that these controversies have been exaggerated or distorted by some elements of the press as part of a more general campaign for political correctness.[4]

[Mythical Creature]

Mrs Creature has been a child care worker for 10 years and always sings baa baa rainbow sheep. Never been allowed to sing black sheep. Nothing new in that story. Also they are not allowed to sing yes sir, yes sir, yes sir three bags full. They have to substitute sir with a childs name.

Would that by any chance be one of Ruperts tabloids???

Presumably fancied a change from immigrants under the bed and killer viruses hiding around every corner. It's an old story rehashed with a diferent nursey...

This is but the first step. More changes will follow. In fact, today I retired to the garage where I keep my time-travel device, and spent the afternoon 100 years in the future. A search for "baa baa rainbow sheep" on the Global MegaWideband Network yielded the following text:

Baa Baa rainbow quadrupedal ruminant,
Have you any wool, produced without recourse to mulesing?
Yes, citizen, yes, citizen, three bags full.
One for the household leader of indeterminate gender
and one for his/her partner, also of indeterminate gender
and one for the size-challenged refugee from a third world country who is now a citizen of the Republic and lives in the local welfare commune.

incidentally Julia's NBN lasted 12 months before it was superceded by the GMN, which was better, faster, cheaper, and most importantly didn't filter out the pr0n.

edit: the was supposed to be an asterisk in brackets, but I think I'll leave it as is. That star is kinda funky.

Nothing new to me here. I remember a few years ago the "Baa baa blue sheep" thing. As if 3-5 year olds can grasp the significance of how the song came about simply by someone singing the words to them.

Rainbow is the new black

whoa, rainbow betty (bam-A-lam)
whoa, rainbow betty (bam-A-lam)

I have a rainbow labrador I'd post a pic but I don't know how
I took the kids to see Gullivers Travels starring Jack Bl... ahem sorry, Jack Rainbow last week

when is it going to stop

John Rainbowman. Remember when Warnie said something about Makhaya Ntini that reminded him of Mr. Rainbowman?

[Psyber]

Black sheep are a rare and threatened variety like the other coloured sheep - let's stick up for them.
There are no "Rainbow" sheep - natural animal pigment is brown - unless we are all for genetically modified sheep now
[Is brown a permitted word still?]

[Magpiespower]

I remember when I was back in England in '87 there was an uproar over a local kindy being forced to change its name from "Baa Baa Black Sheep" to something less "offensive"...

Yeah, ever since Bin Laden masturbating on a plane is frowned upon.

Thanks Bin Laden.

This story has been going on for years. Same deal with fairy penguins having to change there names to little penguins.

Even the gay ones?

What are people thoughts on this. Telling kids to sing baa baa rainbow sheep instead of baa baa black sheep? Is this going to far.

To me i havent seen a rainbow sheep but i have seen a black sheep!

There's one easy way to fix this problem. Get a representative from each side of the equation and do an "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe". The person it lands on gets to decide if it can be used or not.

Catch a rainbow by the toe?

[Footy Chick]

Catch a rainbow by the toe?

I think they actually changed that to tiger - even when I was at primary school back in the early 80's and fair enough I guess.
