What a bunch of Dopeys

By ANTHONY FRANCE

PANTOS of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs are being censored — to outlaw the word DWARF.

A shocked village drama group sent off for a script and found Dopey and his pals — played by kids — had to be called “gnomes” instead.

Ray Lionet, 73, of the Coxheath Players in Kent, said the ban was to avoid offending short people. He said: “It’s madness.”

how totally irritating.

i have an idea: let's give up ALL verbal and oral communication because anything we might say might offend some person somewhere.

okay, so who did i offend with that last sentence? maybe someone in kansas who is offended by the word "oral"?

If people came to my neighborhood using words like "dwarf" I would throw rocks at police, overturn cars, and set a local bar on fire.
