Bunnybados

Ok, so I was reading one of the Bunbury Tales books, and one story has the Bunbury cricket team go to Bunnybados (presumably the rabbit version of the West Indies).

When the team arrives, all of the Bunnybados bunnies are black.



Is this a bit dodgy?

From 1986.... not surprising. Try reading Tom Sawyer before they removed the 'offensive' words.

I'm outraged . If you look closely you can clearly see cat interlopers in Bunnybados society . That can't be safe .

Isn't that an accurate reflection of American society back then? Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are classics, I didn't know there were versions with the racist words removed.

Two versions, they replaced the 'n-word' and 'injun' for schooling reasons ... it is very ironic considering the message Twain was providing.

The intermingling of puddy cat and bunny rabbit is unnatural . You can't build a strong rabbit society with those ticking time bombs walking around . Round them all up and send them to their own island , Dominicat Repurrblic or Purracao or something ,

Sadly the Tour was marred by some pretty controversial umpiring decisions.

Definitely not appropriate in the current climate.
