Christmas censorship - Political correctness gone mad?
Ray Hadley broke the story yesterday of a film starring Vince Vaughn and Reece Witherspoon, titled ‘Four Christmases’ everywhere else in the world, but curiously titled ‘Four Holidays’ in Australia.
Contacts made to Roadshow films, the distributor of the movie in Australia, revealed that the film’s name had indeed been changed by management.
They said they made the change because the new name suited the movie in the lead-up to the holidays.
They also said many other countries renamed it ‘Anywhere But Home’… but it seems only the Netherlands has taken that option.
Ray went on to suggest that the more likely reason for the name change in Australia would be a sensitivity to other religions that may take offence to the word ‘Christmas’.
As Christmas approaches, will we see a stifling of Christmas, and Christmas related imagery, to appease the concerns of religious people not of the Christian faith?
Have you seen any examples of this?
Have your say.
