Merzbow Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I love how Mort is just sitting in the middle of it, but I can imagine it being banned after film execs supposedly wanted to make it without Death.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 30, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't know that much about Catholic schools, but my wife went to one, and she says that it's plausible that a list of books would be banned, including a bunch of those. But "Canterbury Tales"? I would assume that beef was squashed a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Some queynte must have not liked the bad language. Â Talking of cunts, Britain Firsts page was taken town for a little bit and everyone was going ape but it seems that pages are automatically unpublished after a set amount of reports and they managed to get it reinstated.

Rey_Piste Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well that school certainly aren't hoopy froods for not having Hitchiker's guide allowed. I would've thought Animal Farm would be fine as well since it's an anti-communism story with pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Simpler than that, it seems likely it was just a PR exercise and they merely unpublished the page for a couple of hours so they could triumphantly return against the leftist fascists. There were a few posts deleted when they came back but how quickly everything was resolved makes it highly unlikely that Facebook had any input.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted December 1, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2015 As a callback to my discovering my dad's activity as a frequent Daily Mail commenter, with his "scroungers" and "toe rag" comments, my mum was finally mad enough about his sharp rightward-turn that she told me his screen name — I'm in the process of setting up an account that is guaranteed to piss him off (Islington, media professional, etc.), and I'm going to be on him like a scrounging toe rag graduate on benefits.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 3, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2015 Rainbow Bridge comes from this 'poem' from rainbowbridge.com. 'author unknown' apparently: Â Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. Â All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. Â They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. Â You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Â Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Â Author unknown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted December 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2015 Didn't think animals could go to heaven - because they don't have souls and all that... Two things, one we're animals. Second nothing goes to heaven and nothing has a soul, we are all just biological accidents clinging to a slowly eroding rock which circles a dying sun.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted December 3, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2015 I don't have a problem with the rainbow bridge thing, or any fantasy that helps people feel better about their dead pets — I personally like to think of my three dead cats (Kittatten, Galadriel, and Vacant) waiting to start a poker game, sitting around check their watches and complaining about having to wait for me and Manny.

Rey_Piste Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Rainbow Bridge comes from this 'poem' from rainbowbridge.com. 'author unknown' apparently. Actually the phrase rainbow bridge comes from Norse mythology. The vikings believed that rainbows were the gods coming from Asgard to earth on Bifrost.
