Re: Little Buggers!

Well the Advertising Standards Authority should not have rejected the complaint because it is inaccurate.

The Advertising Standards Authority rejected a complaint about an insert in the Times Educational Supplement which read: "Don't Let the Buggers Get You Down."

I have always been lead to believe that quote should be Don't let the *******s grind you down or, to quote the original dog Latin, Nihil lessere illegitimis te carborundum.

EDIT And why has my ******* been rejected whereas the word derived from the French for Bulgarian, used as a pejorative term because of many of the said Bulgarians having been heretical Manicheans, been accepted?

FURTHER TOTALLY RIDICULOUS EDIT Not that I've got anything against Manicheans, many of my best friends could well be Manicheans for all I know.
