Dennis the....Softie?!?

OK, I learnt something today that I think is very VERY silly and wrong.

The BBC have BANNED cartoon character Dennis the Menace from using his catapult, water pistol and pea shooter...he has been banned from picking on Walter Softie, Dad cannot use his slipper on Dennis and even Gnasher has to behave!

Dammit, what the Hell is going on these days?

I'm aware that that bullying is wrong (I do not agree with it, being bullied by many people over the years) but this is just bloody damn ridiculous! This is yet again another case of Political Correctness going over the top yet again.

Dennis the Menace is pretty much a British institution, all my mates used to collect them (as did I along with Dandy comics too) and Dennis using his arsenal and playing pranks was just a bit of harmless fun. Sure he was a naughty boy, but he got reprimanded by his father (damn he must have needed a slipper factory the amount of time he used them on Dennis!).

So...now that is to be changed, and it's wrong. It was a bit of harmless fun, reading these comics never made me a bully or want to incite violence on anyone.

So what's next...a total ban on Tom & Jerry?
