Eh? PC madness would be banning the book, surely? It isn't banned, as far as I know. Anyone else read it? Quite a good read, I thought. Nabokov's Ada is quite good too, being mainly about underage incest, but I don't see people calling for the programming language to be renamed...

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

would anyone liked to have been named by their parents as "dick head"? naming the bed etc is the same thats why people dont like it, nothing to do with pc **** ffs! :D

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

It's just a stupid thing to do. Like naming a stove Adolf. Yes, it's just a name, but it's wholely inappropriate and unnecessary.

Ooops!

Hurriedly renames some household appliances..........................:Sprint:

I think IKEA ought to withdraw all their products with inappropriate names.

Oh, just a minute, that would be all of them then... :erm:

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

well, i originally thought this, and when i first saw the name, i thought it was just that, a girls name :erm:

i was involved in a debate about it at the time, and was called some choice names for not knowing :rolleyes: (i seriously have never heard of the book or film)
then i was told that child pornography is known as loli porn :shocked: (but didnt know this either)

so i think its bad marketing on their part, i dont think any malice was intended ... at least i hope not :erm:

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

And do you have a source for this piece of outstanding info?

Lolita is just a name. Nothing more. Nothing less. :rolleyes:

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

well i was told it, by the person who was accusing me of being "thick,naive,stupid" because i'd never heard of this so called term for it before.

i dont think it helped though, that i said it was quite a nice name :erm:

Re: Woolworths withdraws inappropriately named bed..
 

I don't think it makes any difference as Woolies don't actually sell anything: everything on the shelves bears a "Temporarily out of stock" sticker.
