political : THEME PARK RENAMES BIRDS TO MAKE THEM MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT

[+] ballot by herzog
created Tue May 02, 06

From the sundaymail:
THEME park bosses have re-named their colony of fairy penguins amid fears they could upset the gay community.

Managers at Sea World, on the Gold Coast, are now calling the species "little penguins" in case associations with the word "fairy" offend visitors to the park.

"We didn't have any complaints about the name of the penguins, but someone thought they could be seen as offensive so we decided to change it to little penguin instead," a Sea World spokeswoman said. "We just didn't want to upset the gay community. The new name is more politically correct."

However, Queensland's gay community and other zoos which keep fairy penguins described the name change as ridiculous and unnecessary.

Do you think this was necessary to keep homosexuals from rioting in the streets, destroying everything in their path, in a rage at the naming of some arctic wildlife, or was it unneccessary political correctness?

Unneccessary PCness	43%
a necessary precaution to thwart "gayness" in children	43%
Completely necessary, at the mere mention of 'fairy' homosexuals would have destroyed the town	7%
PC RULES, duzn't it? grooaannn	5%

One of the zoo workers is probably gay and found it offensive.

the world has gone mad. so what would we say instead of "fairy princess," or "fairy dust" or some shit like that? political corectness gone haywire.

Its a similar case with one of my employers customers that used to go by the company name of "Fairey Microfiltrex Ltd" - they are now known as "Microfiltrex Ltd".
My guess is that the employees no longer wanted to work for Faireys.
