The Whirlies are a sensible bunch whether they be birds, gigs or girls.
I think we're seeing a very definite split between the UK, where we are aware of these issues but are still allowed a sense of humour, and the US where the issues appear to be rammed down one's throat and any hint of humour appears to be have been eradicated.
I hope that this attitude and litigious mindset are not like Coca-Cola and McDonald's and making their way ever eastwards.
