'TinTin' banned ....... Ah, a sign of the 'PC' times, where revisionism is the 'new reality'.

| TinTin In The Congo |
Yes a Congolese man, Mr Mbutu, who 'moved' to Belgium, is trying to get a Tintin book banned in the cartoon star's home country of Belgium.
The ginger sleuth's "little (black) helper" in Tintin in the Congo is seen as "stupid and without qualities", Mr Mbutu is quoted as saying. "It makes people think that blacks have not evolved"............ Hmm, I wonder why did Mr Mbutu move from the Africa to Europe, if African societies are so 'evolved'.
This idea that you can ban or rewrite documents from one period, to fit the new PC reality, is both dangerous and stupid. Dangerous, because once you rewrite events you are following in the path of regimes like Stalin's, writing people out of the picture ....... literally. Stupid, because as we have seen with 'Mein Kampf', these banned items continue to circulate and are given new leases of life.
