We have similar lunatics in Australia but worse...they do not allow you to leave anything but flowers on a loved ones grave!

So greaving parents who have left their child's favorite teddy or toy on the grave have found them removed and disposed of.

All because there is a billion to one chance somebody, who should probably be removed from the gene pool anyway, might accidently trip over such signs of affection.

Political Correctness also stopped me from being Santa, For years I used to donate my time as Santa for some childrens hospitals and other charities. Then they gave me a list of regulations three pages long on how I am to conduct myself as a Santa! One of the rules was that in all photographs, both of my hands must be showing! When I asked them to give me an example in the last 100 years of a Santa being convicted of child molestation whilst parents are watching and photos being taken they said, "But it could happen....". If it was up to me they would get coal in their stockings. So I stopped being Santa becasue they changed it from "Ho Ho Ho" to "No No No".
