Default neal going to have to censor this word

DWARF

according to new british laws the word dwarf is now illigal because it offends short people.

pantomimes that feature snow white and the seven dwarfs have to re design thier script to accomidate for this new ruleing.

you wont be able to take a crap soon with out either:

declaring it to the prime minister

getting written permission by the authorities

or saying any word relating to the lavatory and your needs because it will be politicaly incorrect

Will the UK also eradicate every Austin Midget ever produced and preserved in British auto collections?

So from now on, dwarfs will be called VDs.

I hope they're satisfied!

Can I just point out that it is The Sun kapitain is quoting from that blows it out of proportion.

It is just one play that has been affected. The word hasn't been banned just one stupid person thought so and rewrote it.

You can still say dwarf in the UK..

Geezzz..read a decent newspaper like the Independent, Times or Guardian.
