I hope you tamp it into firmly place, vigorously and repeatedly, with the erect penis of a poove.

No, no, no. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can't go around accusing a "legitimate political party" like the Nazis of doing anything bad. You must ALWAYS use the term "Stasi" - as they were commie bastards (or something... I think).

German National Socialist Workers Party therefore Hitler was a Marxist and just as bad as Tony Bliar.

Crikey! Updated version of Enid Blyton's Secret Seven to be released for 21st century children

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ldren.html

Red arrow time...

Why not just consign them to history? I am certain there is a wealth of great children's literature out there that doesn't rely on outdated stereotypes and make Midsomer look like Bradford.

Not really a story. Blyton's books have been regularly updated (illustrations, cultural references) for years to keep them relevant. See also the sacrelige! stories whenever they suggest changes to Dennis the Menace and so on.

Whatever you may think of her, she knew how to tell a story and get a reader hooked. I'd say that a few minor edits to lure in new readers outweighs the nostalgic impulses of the commentators.

Having black people in frame is "sad" and "dumbing down" says R George

They could update the Secret Seven so that they don't have "SS" written on their badges and garden shed...
