I happened to be behind a car that proudly proclaimed "Notre Dame Mighty Irish" and it took a sec for it to dawn on me they'd gone PC and gotten rid of that nasty "Fighting" moniker.

After the Columbine shootings, many school systems banned black trench coats and anything even remotely Goth. My local school system has banned the image of weapons on clothing, equipment, etc. Our Middle School's mascot is a Destroyer (because we build them here) and the school went and removed the guns and missles from the official logo. Now we have a haze-grey yacht on the team uniforms, etc. Respects, Shipmates,

Unfortunately the most sic and twisted people are the ones that end up in the headlines. wow… that was an important thing to do.
