It's known for inflammatory headlines and stories that burn out like a damp squib once investigated.

Ya got to love that.

Talk about burning out like a damp squib, way to throw a wet blanket on our righteous moral outrage.

OK folks, the thread's over. Move along. Nothing to see here.

If that's the best story of PC gone mad, then your PC has not gone mad. You can't judge a book by its cover, unless it's in a window display, and the cover is all that's visible. I would absolutely oppose the removal of the book from the store (or libraries, schools, etc), but it's not crazy to ask that it not be in the window display.

Yeah, hide it behind the counter with the "men's" magazines.

Happy Monkey · 11-17-2010, 07:08 PM

No, just the regular shelf. I feel the same about Doctor Doolittle. I wouldn't put it in the shop window opened to the chapter starting with the racist picture of the native king who wants the doctor to turn him white. But it is a legitimate classic, and should be available.

It's not only a legitimate classic, it's legal merchandise that shop is selling. If putting it in the window offends people, they can boycott that shop and spend their money elsewhere elsewhere. If enough people do that, the shopkeeper has to make a decision whether it's better to display something else. You'd be hard pressed to find a shop window that doesn't annoy somebody in some way. Next they'll be telling the ice cream shop not to put a picture of a banana split in the window because it offends dieters, or the liquor store not to put booze in the window because it offends AA.

It's well documented, Rhianne

San Francisco lawmakers approved legislation Tuesday that would limit toy giveaways in children's meals that have excessive calories, sodium and fat. It also requires servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal.

Doesn't the deep fried apple pie count?

Story continues below
The city's Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the ordinance, which they hope will force fast-food chains such as McDonald's to make their children's meals healthier or stop selling them with toys.

The measure drew enough support to overcome an expected veto by Mayor Gavin Newsom. Supervisors say the law would make San Francisco the first major city to take this action to combat childhood obesity.

McDonald's has said the law threatens business and restricts parents' ability to make choices for their children.

I don't think you can restrict what has been proven to be non-existent.

That's not allowed, no parental decision making, the parents and children must remain victims of the system.
