Reminds me of something that happened in World of Warcraft. (nerd alert!) Anyway, in the game there's little pets that you can have that follow you around, and some of these pets are house cats. One of the cats was the breed Maine Coon. Well after months of the name of the cat getting filtered throught he name filter they finally changed the name to "Black Tabby" (which i think was even more of an insult than keeping the name Maine Coon .. which is the name of that kind of cat.. there's no such thing as a black tabby as far as i know.) Sometimes i wonder why they just didnt come out and call it "African-American Tabby." Every time my little gnome mage pulls him out he stops for a little /cry.
