That article does actually say it is in error.

Is the error that they can't decide what to call them.  :-\

In three of Lambeth's main town centres, the lights were referred to as "Winter Lights", while in a fourth they were called "Celebrity Lights".

Celebrity lights? I don't understand, are the lights famous for something? Have they made a film? Or slept with Jordan?

It's a PC fail.

Apparently the people of the fourth city centre are too dense to understand that celebrity does not equal celebration  ;D

They give anyone and now anything celebrity status; so why not give some Christmas lights celebrity status, sure they can't sing or act. But in the world of celebrities is that any different?

Who hasn't slept with Jordan, I hate how some went on about how Jordan is a feminist, when in reality she exploits her own image.

Katie Price is a woman with big fake boobs.  She's Peter Andre's ex-wife.

Maybe she slept with Rod Stewart and lifted it off his wall on the way out.

It says:

Quote
it was an error by a junior official and not council policy

Which I presume was an idea of an low ranking individual, that should have been checked and sanctioned by the council's board or governors etc, but they are such a lazy bunch of arse wipes that they thought the planning their christmas party was more important - bet they bent that up too..

Yes, read it, went away for a few hours, read it again, then a day later read it again. It just reads as if a paragraph was missed out.

It quotes some spokeswoman:

"I think it was certainly not a council policy that we should call the lights winter lights."

I watched Demolition man tonight and was struck by the similarities between the Hellish Politically correct world depicted in that movie and the way we seem to be sleepwalking our way towards it...

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_%28film%29#Setting
It is explained that anything deemed "bad for you" is now illegal, including alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, non-educational toys, meat, spicy and unhealthy food, table salt and tobacco. Firearms can only be seen in museums. Physical contact was recognized as causing the spread of disease and is now seen as unusual. Even high-fives have been replaced with energetic waving. "Sex" is no longer a physical act for the same reasons, and even kissing is not condoned. Instead, "Vir-Sex" is performed by using sex simulators worn on the participants' heads to replace physical intercourse. Procreation is carried out in a laboratory; abortion is illegal, but so is unlicensed pregnancy.

Its similar to Sleeper (1973).

A bit of a odd question, when Phoenix is accessing a terminal, he says some stereotypical line to himself. Was that in the version you watched?

Already we are seeing the mainstream music industry churning out jinglistic crap (won't be long before everybody is singing bless'ed valley of the jolly green giant)...

xD
