Okay, been out shopping to the local mall. Looking in the window of a large chain that sells posters, calenders and the like only to see an iconic photograph of a stunning beautiful lady censored!
The photograph I refer to is of Audrey Hepburn, tira, black opera glove and a cigarette in a holder. Except no cigarette and no holder!
Come on, I mean neither of us smoke and would not dream of promoting others to smoke either but this is an iconic picture which has been deemed to be suitable for at least 50 years! It does not need tinkering with to keep the politically correct society happy.
What next, the tennis girl with jeans air brushed on? James Dean's cigarette changed to a pen?
Grump over.
political correctness now does more harm than good :sad:
The cigarette in Paul McCartney's hand was airbrushed out of the Abbey Road album cover. It seems that time travelling cigarette snatchers are rewriting history, tampering with cultural DNA pretending that cigarettes did n't exist.

Yes but it is rediculous enough to be quite funny.
