Dambusters dog to be renamed Digger for remake of iconic film... because N-word might offend AmericansThe screenplay is being written by a personal recipient of the benefits of political correctness, homosexual writer-comedian Stephen Fry.
The film's producer is Peter Jackson whose Hobbit movie was held up for PC shaming last year when a black woman was turned away from an extra role as a white person. Jackson sacked the casting company concerned.
So wracked with PC angst is the 'n-word' that the UK Mail item twists itself into several contortions so as not to use it.
One wouldn't mind so much if black American rappers didn't use the word 'nigga' as a self-reference so frequently.
Meanwhile one is concerned that the dog in question's name - Nigger - is revealed to be on its grave at RAF Scampton. How long before some grievance-monger demands its removal?
While awaiting further developments, I may go and purchase the 1955 movie before they re-dub the soundtrack, edit out anyone smoking and insert a few scenes suggesting Dambusters leader Guy Gibson was homosexual.
Undoubtledly Mr Fry has considered the latter for his screenplay.
