(was going to post this in the serious section, but how can you take this seriously!)
That is stupid. I'm 22, I admittedly laugh at the word dick if I'm feeling particularly immature, BUT, I think I could hold myself together long enough to order a pudding if I wanted to.
Too many people with no sense of humour in high places these days.
hmm, worst thing is, they named it Richard :( I feel so name abused!
They changed a lot of names to in Holland, candy, cookies etc. all bearing the same name for up to 130 years since the brand started it, and now suddenly it has to change, cuz it might be offensive to some people :S
What is the matter with this country? Im sick of this rubbish.
The pudding is, always has been and always will be, SPOTTED DICK.
Yes, spotted DICK
I must admit, the last time i was in a restraunt and fancied a sweet ending to my meal, i called across the room to a sweet young waitress and said "excuse me miss, may i have a large portion of spotted penis please, with custard". NOT.
It grates on me a little bit (as you may notice). Do these people have nothing better to do other than complain about totally irrelivant names of innocent puddings? They have to pick (oooer, pick sounds like DICK) our traditions to bits (oooer, sounds like tits). Why not put thier excessive efforts into something worthwhile like raising money for cancer research for example that would, ultimately benifit the world as a whole?. (he said 'hole' fnar fnar)
'oh no, i havnt got time for that, besides, benifit must be offensive to citizens that live off the state'.
Line these complianing, whinging, self important idiots up and see who would trade the 'far too curved banana' over no food at all.
The trouble is, they shout the loudest while the normal bloke carries on regardless. Thats why we, and Holland it seems, get a country full of richards. Just our luck. (ooer sounds like..)
Its a spotted DICK folks and thats that.
Rant over:eyebrow:
Plus the ones it offends are always the ones that have no real role in a worthwhile society and should have been drowned at birth anyway, like that lawn chair guy.
